How do I know which type of session is right for me?

Mini Sessions can be a GREAT way for a quick photo refresh at a lower price point however they are definitely not the best option for everyone. Here’s a quick list to help you decide which type of session may be the best option for you.

A Mini Session may be a great option for you if:

1. You are flexible on your session date and time slot
2. You are open to any location
3. Staying in one spot / having one simple background for all of your images is ok with you
4. You are able to be on a strict, tight schedule
5. Your children typically follow direction and cooperate well for photos
6. A couple great images is all you need
7. You don’t have a long wish list of images/poses/groupings
8. You want photos of your immediate family only

A Regular Portrait Session may be a better fit for you if:

1. You need your photos taken within a certain time frame
2. There is a specific location you are wanting your photos done at
3. You like the idea of being able to roam around during your photo session / have multiple different backgrounds
4. Some extra time is preferred so we don’t feel rushed or pressured to get the perfect shot immediately
5. You have multiple young children that may need some extra time and attention
6. Your kids take a little while to warm up to new people
7. There are a bunch of different groupings/poses you are hoping to capture
8. You’d like download access to more than 5 images included in your package
9. You want to include some extended family members or pets in your session

Hopefully this helps to give you a brief overview on the differences between regular and mini session! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out and I would be happy to assist!
