There is a lot of talk about mini sessions this time of year and I wanted to take some time to explain what they are and answer some common questions about them.
Photographers will usually designate one or two days and schedule mini sessions back to back at a set location. They are shorter photo sessions with a smaller amount of included images with add on options such as additional digitals or prints. Sometimes mini sessions include a theme or set up and sometimes they are more simple and timeless at a pretty location.
Mini sessions are ideal for families who have already had a full session this year and want a quick update or a few images for a Christmas card. I also recommend them for families with young kids because they are simple and easy and we all know how quickly our kids change.
First, you need to decide how you will be using your images. Are they to be printed for your walls in your home? Then I would suggest more neutral tones that match your home decor. Are they going to be used for Christmas Cards? Then I would suggest something a little more festive. Be true to your own style and keep in mind a level of comfort for your children.
I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any further questions, please send me an email and I'll be happy to help.
