Mini-Session or Full-Session?

The choice between Mini-sessions and Full-sessions depends on various factors, including the nature of the activity, the preferences of your family members, and the available time.

Here's a list of tips to help you decide:

Mini Sessions: 30 Minute Personalized Session - One Location - $175

1. Quick Breaks: Mini sessions are great for quick breaks during busy days. They can be more manageable and less time-consuming.

2. Attention Span: Consider the attention span of your family members, especially if you have young children. Shorter sessions may be more suitable for maintaining engagement & capturing quick smiles & expressions.

3. Variety: Use mini sessions to introduce variety into your family routine. You can have short bursts of different activities to keep things interesting. Christmas Mini, Fall Mini, Summer Mini, Etc.

4. Spontaneity: Mini sessions allow for more spontaneity. You can decide to have a brief family activity on the spur of the moment and have me meet you at a location and capture the experience.

5. Spontaneous Moments: While posing for planned shots is great, encourage spontaneous moments as well. Capture candid expressions and interactions to showcase the genuine connection within your family.

6. Include Pets: If you have pets, consider including them in the photo session. Pets can add an extra element of joy and playfulness to the pictures.

7. Busy Schedules: If your family members have busy schedules, mini-sessions can be a practical way to spend quality time together without overwhelming everyone. Quick & Easy!

Standard Full Sessions: 1 hour Personalized Session - One Location - $275

1. Deeper Engagement: Longer sessions provide more time for deeper engagement and exploration of activities. This is particularly beneficial for activities that require more time and involvement, I love these sessions because it allows me to slow down and capture your family and the personality of everyone.

2. Bonding Time: Full sessions allow for extended bonding time, fostering stronger connections among family members as I capture the relationship your family has together.

3. Special Occasions: Reserve full sessions for special occasions or activities that require a more significant time commitment, like family outings or family reunions, birthday parties, etc.

4. Routine Activities: For routine family activities like meals or family meetings, full sessions might be more appropriate to ensure everyone has a chance to contribute and connect.

5. Create Traditions: Full sessions are excellent opportunities to establish family traditions. Whether it's a weekly game night, a monthly outing, or an annual vacation, traditions create a sense of continuity and shared experiences.

6. Unplug from Devices: Encourage everyone to unplug from electronic devices during full family sessions. This helps create a focused and distraction-free environment for meaningful interactions.

Ultimately, the best approach depends on your family's dynamics and the specific activity you have in mind. A combination of both mini and full sessions can provide a balanced and flexible approach to family time.
