How does a mini session differ from a full session?
Regular photo sessions are sixty to ninety minutes in length and at the location of your choice. Mini sessions are conducted at a specific location chosen by the photographer and are twenty-five minutes in length.
May I book multiple mini sessions together?
You may book two consecutive sessions. In fact, it is recommended but not required that you book multiple sessions if you have three or more children. Add $40 to any package for a full fifty-minute session.

What if it rains or the weather is bad on the day of our mini session?
In case of inclement weather, mini photo sessions will be rescheduled for Saturday, October 30th. When booking your session, please make sure that you are able to attend both the planned date and the rain date. Session fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. If there are any questions about weather, please call 850.319.4591.
What should we wear?
Anything vibrant and fun will pop and photograph beautifully. Try pairing deep, rich, or intense colored tops with neutral bottoms. Avoid black and white. Coordinated looks for families create much more pleasing photographs than matching uniforms for the entire family. A unified color mixed with the neutrals in various ways will mix things up but still give your family continuity. To add visual interest: use patterns, textures (dark denim, cable knits, linen, corduroy), and layers (cardigans, scarves). Whatever you choose, it is important the entire family looks and feels comfortable so make sure everyone tries on their outfit beforehand.
What happens after the mini session?
Images will be ready for preview and ordering one week after your photo session. Orders will ship two weeks thereafter.
