Frequently asked questions

4. what if we run late?

Because mini sessions are booked tightly back-to-back, session times cannot be extended if you arrive late. Arriving 10–15 minutes early helps ensure your family is relaxed and ready to go. Even if little ones need a moment to warm up, an experienced photographer can quickly capture genuine smiles and candid interactions within the allotted time.

3. what should we wear?

Keep outfits coordinated rather than strictly matching. Neutral tones, soft earth tones, and warm textures (like knits or linen) photograph beautifully without distracting from faces. Because mini sessions move quickly, there isn't time for outfit changes—plan to arrive dressed and ready to step in front of the camera.

2. Can we include pets or extended family?

Mini sessions are designed for immediate family members (up to 5 or 6 people). Due to time constraints, adding pets or extended family members usually requires booking two back-to-back spots so everyone gets time in front of the lens. That being said, extended members can join for an additional fee but the gallery will consist of what we can capture in 30 minutes. Pets are welcome!

1. What’s the difference between a mini session and a full session?

Mini sessions are short, back-to-back photo shoots last no more than 30 minutes—held on a specific date at a set location. Full sessions offer 60+ minutes, flexible scheduling, location choice by the client, and include a complete image gallery. Minis are designed for quick family updates, holiday cards, or specific milestones.
