I often have families come to me, and ask what type of family session is right for them. I offer full family shoots, as well as mini sessions, in order to meet the needs of each person that we meet! I know everyone is different; some families opt for a shoot every other year, some so multiple shoots each year, and others haven’t done portraits together since their wedding day. I recommend family photos at least once a year, and twice if you have kids under 16, because they truly change so fast. Ideally, families could do portraits 2-3 times a year, but I understand that isn’t possible for everyone. Because not every family can do that, we strive to make each shoot feel important and meaningful, whether it’s your first in ten years, or your third in just twelve months!
A Mini Session: We offer digital mini sessions, which mean you can capture lots of milestones for toddlers and little ones, and do several sessions per year. Our digital minis start at just $600, and you will receive ten beautiful images. In addition, you will have the option to have a gallery reveal, where you can choose your images, prints and products (not required with a mini). This is perfect for families with little ones who are changing rapidly, for families on a budget, or for those who do frequent shoots and who don’t need as many products. It’s also helpful for families with very wiggly toddlers who aren’t accustomed to having photos done, and who need a shorter timespan for shoot time. Some ideas for a mini session: family photos before a senior leaves for college, fall photos for Christmas or holiday cards, or birthday sessions.
A Full Session: Our custom, tailored sessions start with a $100 fee, and you receive a gallery reveal appointment to view your beautiful images. I will help guide you through the choosing of your prints and heirloom quality products, and help you select a collection that fits your needs. The average customer invests between $1400 and $2800 in a full session. If you are someone doing a senior or newborn shoot in the same year, you can earn our loyalty discount of 20% off the second shoot fee. A full session is longer in length, and can be tailored to suit your family, no matter the ages of your children! A full session is perfect for any season of life.
If you are still contemplating which one might be right for you, remember that you can always ask me any questions, and I can help guide you through the choices! Many families also may choose a mini one year, and a full the next; alternating years is a great way to stretch your budget, or to achieve the amount of photos you want done.
