VALENTINES MINI STUDIO SESSIONS 2024

What Is A Mini Photo Session?

A mini portrait session differs from a main or "Classic" session mainly because THERE IS NO SESSION FEE, and it is a themed, shorter session! You can get the chance to have a few gorgeous portraits at a lower price point!

A mini-session is a wonderful opportunity to update your portraits for a milestone or special themed shoot. This is ideal for getting a fantastic seasonal gift for family and friends.

 

How Long Is The Shoot?

The session is 20-35 minutes long, fun, and full of giggles with my funky little chicken friend. The time cannot exceed 35 minutes as we must prepare for the next client, so there will be no time for a second outfit change or background.

Note - If your little one is very reserved or is diagnosed with learning difficulties, it's better to book a more extended session so we have more time to get to know each other. We work with many little ones, but if a child is terrified or in tears, it is better to limit their distress as we don't want to put them off for future photographs. See here for advice for parents preparing kids for photo shoots.

 

Valentine Clothes

The simpler, the better. The background is white, so if you prefer to pop off the background, go for an alternative colour like red.

* 6-11-month-old sitters - A coloured, fitted romper that shows those chunky little arms and legs.

* Children & Teens - Red dresses, chunky knits, and themed pyjamas look adorable.

BABIES 6-11 MONTHS

The Setting
Valentines - I have a simple white backdrop with hearts galore, safe for 6–11-month sitters to pose with sweet chunky blankets and rugs too!

SMALL BABIES

Small Babies

Babies that cannot sit unsupported can be photographed lying down on a red flokati or upright with parental or sibling support. We can add hearts to the image in post-production.

CHILDREN & TEENAGERS

Fun With Props

These are fun, cheeky, novelty images and the option of a gorgeous portrait. We have a little white chair for older children to sit on. I promise to remove all the spots from teenagers' faces so they look adorable; it's a classic! We can have two kiddos in the session.
