FESTIVE MINI STUDIO SESSIONS 2023
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.
Note - If your little one is very clingy, reserved or is diagnosed with learning difficulties that make even mild parent separation traumatic, we understand and are here to help. 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 and stop, as we don't want to put them off for future photographs. Some children come around after a few moments, but we cannot guarantee a smile.
See here for advice for parents preparing kids for photo shoots.
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.
Who's In The Photo?
This is a child only and from the same nuclear family, with no parent portraits for this mini session. I can photograph cousins together when two sessions are booked one after the other.
It is best to book a Classic session for a more complete session. Due to limited space and time, only the children being photographed should be brought.
The Set/Props.
We have an adorable group of mini trees and festively wrapped boxes for kids with sweet, chunky blankets and rugs! We will shoot on a solid, dark wooden background, as the photographs show. Glitter is added in post-production. We can also use a simple green seamless background or remove props to simplify the set.
NEWBORN, BABIES, CHILDREN, TWEENS & TEENS
Newborn
Newborns will be wrapped up as above for a Christmas look. Options are a Santa hat or a simple coloured hat or headband. Props are the little bed, bowl, or bucket, as pictured.
Small Babies
Babies who cannot sit unsupported can be photographed lying on a red or green rug and upright with parental or sibling support. In post-production, we add festive elements and glitter as well.
Older Kids
These are fun, cheeky novelty images, and we offer the option of a gorgeous portrait. We have a gorgeous sledge or little chair for older children. You can reassure your teenagers that we edit any unwanted spots and blemishes too.
