Who are these sessions for?

Mini sessions are designed for groups of 6 or less. These can be single families, couples, maternity, a few headshots—let’s chat about what you’re envisioning. The session types that aren’t conducive to a mini structure are boudoir, multi-family, newborns under 3 months, or families with very shy children that need longer than 15 minutes to open up to the camera.

How is a mini different from a full session?

Minis are shorter shoots that work best with a more singular focus, e.g. a holiday card, pregnancy announcement, or milestone birthday. There is less variety in posing, number of backgrounds, and groupings, and it costs less than a full session. It allows for more family documentation outside of a classic yearly shoot, and takes advantage of a special location or a peak seasonal change. Minis are only offered a couple times a year as my availability allows, while full sessions of 30 and 60 minutes come with a wider range of options and customizations.

What should I wear?

Confetti tosses will happen on a plain white background and/or a pink rolling wall, and the confetti will be multi-colored. Going with white knits for your ensemble will help the confetti pop. Going colorful with your outfits will add another fun burst. Either way, I’d advise sticking with solid colors and focusing on texture. With every session, I’m aiming to grab a few shots with a classic studio look before the throwing begins.

If you’re liking the idea of a studio session but aren’t sold on the confetti, then truly: anything goes!

Can we bring pets?

It’s not advised this time!

What if I’m running late?

Please account for extra time getting to the studio. There is a 10 minute buffer between sessions that will be needed to buzz you in and escort you into the building, and I won’t be able to infringe on the next client’s shooting time.
