What is a mini session in photography?

Some people can be confused about mini and custom portrait session. Ok, let me explain that what is a mini and custom are two different sessions and that is not same price of those...


1) What is a mini session?

A mini session is a shorter version of a custom portrait session with discounted prices.  The event typically has a theme such as Mother’s Day, Portraits in the Park, Generations, Pet Day, etc.


2) How is it different from a custom portrait session?

Unlike a custom portrait session, the theme and background are selected by the studio, the shooting time is much shorter, and the subject is limited to one grouping of your choice.

3) Who can be photographed during mini sessions?

Mini sessions are open to adults, children, model, and even pets!

4) Can we do multiple groupings during our mini session?

While we typically do more than one pose per session, the sessions are too short to enable more than one grouping.  If you have a variety of family combinations, we would be happy to schedule a custom session for you.

5) When are mini sessions offered?

Mini sessions are offered throughout the year.  Please check our events calendar to see the themes and dates for our upcoming mini sessions.

6) How long is a mini session?

The photography session usually lasts 15-30 minutes.  However, we recommend that people plan up to one hour from arriving (a little earlier than your scheduled time) through departing (after placing your order).
