FAQ ABOUT MINI SESSIONS
What is a Mini Session?
A mini session is a shortened version of our regular family portrait photography session, without all the bells and whistles. Basically it allows us to get a few great family shots of your family and then spend a little time getting breakout shots of just the kids. It is ideal for families who simply want some updated family shots for their holiday cards, Facebook, or frames. It is not ideal for those seeking lots of great candids or the in-between-the-moment shots, those who want outfit changes or a wide range of background looks. With mini sessions, there simply is not enough time to capture a great deal of emotional images inside of 30 minutes – you really need a full hour plus for that. Mini sessions move quickly so it’s imperative you arrive a few minutes early (5-10) so that you and your family are ready to go.
What is the max number of people we can have for a Mini Session?
You can have up to 5 people max. {Sorry, no pets during the mini sessions, but four legged family fur balls are welcome during regular sessions.} If you have 6 or more people, we would love to book you for our regular holiday portrait sessions, which are 1 hour+.
How much is a mini session?
This year, you have THREE options for your mini session package. Please choose one from the list above.
How do I book our spot?
All sessions are booked first come, first serve. Please select your desired date and time below and email us that you would like to book it. We will send you a contract within 24 hours and take a $100 deposit to hold your spot. Deposits are non-refundable, unless you or we are able to rebook your spot.
Do we get all of the images on a disc from our session included?
Two Turtle Doves and Three French hens have a couple of digital files, but you can always add all the high resolution ready-to-print files at our a la carte rates, which are $500 for regular sessions and $300 for mini sessions.
What do you mean when you say “edited images to choose from”?
That means we cull all of your photos for the best of the best, then we color correct them, tone for contrast and color, crop if need be and prepare them for the proof presentation. Proofed edited images do not include extensive retouching such as wrinkle or double chin removal or the like. However, any prints or products you purchase from us will have retouching such as wrinkle and undereye blemishes, skin softening, and eye enhancements.
How will we see our images?
At the end of the session, I will ask you to make an appointment to view the images at my home studio about 7-10 days after the session. Your Ordering Appointment should only take about 45 minutes, and I suggest not to come with the kiddos so that you can make a decision without distractions. You will decide on holiday card design and which images you would like on them, any prints, digital files or framing you would like. As a thank you for coming to my ordering appointment you will receive three low-resolution watermarked images for Facebook.
I have more questions. How should I reach you?
Just email me here and I’ll be happy to answer your questions as quickly as possible.
