Which is Better Mini-Sessions or Full Sessions?

Full Session? Mini Session? How the heck should I know?  Honestly, it's kinda like choosing between ice cream flavors - they're both awesome, but depends on what you're in the mood for. 

Full Sessions: Crafting Your Unique Experience

Picture it, a photo session that's not a sprint but a leisurely stroll. That's the full session vibe. It's like your own blockbuster movie where we work together to choose the perfect location, plan outfits, incorporate props, and sprinkle in all the elements needed to achieve the look and feel you're envisioning. It's not about ticking off a checklist. We've got all the time in the world to explore multiple poses and settings resulting in a gallery that's as diverse as your Spotify playlist.

Kids at Play: Creating Comfort for Children

Kids are the stars of the show, and some little ones need a bit more time to shine. A full session lets them unfold at their own pace, resulting in genuine smiles and those adorable quirks that make them who they are. No rush, no pressure - just capturing your children's personalities in a way that feels completely natural.

The Grand Gathering: Extended Family and More

Full sessions aren't just about immediate families - bring in the whole crew! Grandparents, cousins the more, the merrier. It's a celebration, and everyone gets a chance to take center stage.

Wardrobe Changes: Multiple Outfits

Who says you have to stick to one outfit? Are you a senior looking to show off your personality? Dress up, dress down and we can even add in a few of those cap and gown shots that your mom wants, all at the same session.

Varied Backdrop: Different Locations, Different Vibes

With full session, we can venture to different locations, each offering unique backdrop for your portraits. Whether it's the beach, a park, or the coziness of your own home - let's curate a visual story with diverse backgrounds. 

Mini Sessions: Fast & Fun

Setting the Scene: Style and Location

Mini sessions bring a touch of celebration to your portraits. Whether it's a Santa Claus shoot, sunflowers in the background, or an Easter-themed session, these quick sessions add a festive flair to your collection. Perfect for creating themed photo albums or sending out those holiday cards that make everyone go, "Aww!" But if you're dreaming of a specific setting or theme that doesn't fit the mini session menu, the full session is your ticket to creative freedom.

Perfect for Short Attention Spans

If you're into quick, playful fun - say hello to the mini session. It's like the espresso shot of photoshoots - quick, delightful, and oh-so-energetic. Ideal for those with short attention spans (looking at you toddlers and husbands!). We capture the essence of the moment in a flash.

Testing the Waters

Curious about a new photographer but not ready for a full commitment? Mini sessions are like a sneak peek into the magic they can create. It's a brief introduction, allowing you to dip your toes into the photography pool and see if their style syncs with your vision.

Perfect Punctuality

Mini sessions last a mere 10-15 minutes on a specific date and location within a time block that the photographer chooses. And they roll on a tight schedule, so if you're the punctual maestro who can wrangle the family efficiently, they're a good choice. But if time constraints make you want to break into a cold sweat, a full session is the laid-back cousin.

No Do-Overs

Mini sessions are a one-time deal. They aren't reschedulable, so mark that date on your calendar and put a big red circle around it! 

Easy-Breezy Planning

Planning a mini session requires way less prep on your part. Props are on the house in mini sessions! From festive decor to playful accessories, the photographer brings everything you need to make the mini session pop.

Your Picture-Perfect Adventure Awaits!

The choice between a full portrait session and a mini session is a personal one. It's about aligning your photography experience with your unique preferences, needs, and the dynamic personalities of your loved ones. Whether you opt for the expansive canvas of a full session or the quick charm of a mini session, the goal remains constant - capturing your family at this moment in time.
