Is a Mini Photo Session for Me?

What is a Mini Photo Session?

A mini photo session, or mini for short, is exactly what it sounds like, a short photo session. A mini photo session usually lasts between 15-30 minutes and photographers usually promise between 10-15 photos from each session. Because these are smaller sessions, they’re usually a less expensive option for professional photos that give you a small range of photos.

Because there is a shorter time frame, mini sessions don’t allow for time for outfit or location changes. Mini sessions take place in one smaller location that is predetermined by your photographer, for example, a specific field of flowers within a park. In thirty minutes, you don’t have time to walk through the entire park for a variety of locations. Your photographer will usually pick a location with the best lighting that offers a beautiful background based on the time of day your session is at. Ultimately, you want to spend as much time as possible focusing on taking photos, not trying to find the best location. Your photographer will scout locations ahead of time to make sure you get the best place.

Michelle and I love offering mini sessions because it gives us the opportunity to meet and interact with so many people and celebrate all of their special occasions!
