FAQ ABOUT MINI SESSIONS

What is a Mini Session?
A mini session is a shortened version of our regular family portrait photography session, without all the bells and whistles. Basically it allows us to get a few great family shots of your entire clan and then spend a little time getting breakout shots of just the kids, a few individual shots and perhaps a few candids. It is ideal for families who simply want some updated family shots for their holiday cards, Facebook, or frames. It is not ideal for those seeking lots of great candids or the in-between-the-moment shots Jennifer is known for, those who want outfit changes or a wide range of background looks.  With mini sessions, there simply is not enough time to capture a great deal of emotional images inside of 30 minutes – you really need a full hour plus for that. Mini sessions move quickly so it’s imperative you arrive a few minutes early (5-10) so that you and your family are ready to go.

What is the max number of people we can have for a Mini Session?
You can have up to 5 people max. {Sorry, no pets during the mini sessions, but four legged family fur balls are welcome during regular sessions.} If you have 6-10 people, please see the Options/Add On’s section above about the additional rate for this many people in a photo and the minimum time needed.

How much is a mini session?
This year, you have THREE options for your mini session package. Please choose one from the list above.

How do I book a session?
All sessions are booked first come, first serve. Please select your desired date and time below and email us that you would like to book it. We will send you a contract within 24 hours and take a $100 deposit to hold your spot. Deposits are non-refundable, unless you or we are able to rebook your spot.

Do we get all of the images on a disc from our session included?
Only with Mini Collection 3. If you choose Collection 1 or 2, you can always add the negatives at our ala carte rates, which are $500 for regular sessions and $375 for mini sessions.

What do you mean when you say “edited images to choose from”?
That means we cull all of your photos for the best of the best, then we color correct them, punch and pop them, crop if need be and prepare them for presentation. It does not mean that we do tummy tucks, chin reductions, wrinkle removing or other major edits. We are happy to do this type of editing for you; the rate for extensive editing is $60/hour. Most images take approx 10-15 minutes each for basic wrinkle removing/skin softening/eye enhancing and a little longer for digital plastic surgeries, but we will prorate the editing amount for you. (ie., if you have us edit 1 image and its takes 15 minutes, the cost is $15 for that image.)

Will you provide props for our shoot, or can we bring them?
For mini sessions we wont be able to provide any props (chairs, lollipops, balloons, etc.) however you are more then welcome to bring any small items that you want to incorporate.

We want to book, but cant make ANY of the above dates and times work. Are you available on other dates not listed above?
Possibly! Please email me the dates you are looking for and we can see if we are available. {Please note that our availability is rather limited this fall, which is why we offer the mini sessions on select dates, so that we can provide sessions to as many people as possible.}

I have more questions. How should I reach you?
Just email me here and I’ll be happy to answer your questions as quickly as possible.
