4 Reasons Mini Sessions Are The Best Way To Update Your Family Photos in 2023
If you're like most families, chances are it's been a while since you had your family photos taken. Life gets busy and before you know it, years have gone by. I can’t tell you how many prospective clients inquire and are almost embarrassed to say how long it’s been since they’ve stepped in front of the camera. In my opinion, this is where mini sessions come in super handy. Here are 4 reasons why mini sessions are the best way to update your family photos.
1. Mini sessions are quick and easy.
I know first hand that not everyone wants to spend hours taking photos, especially kids (and husbands .. hehe)! With a mini session, you can be in and out in just 20 minutes. And since everything is already planned out (location and wardrobe ideas), all you have to do is show up and smile.
2. You can choose from multiple locations.
Each year I like to choose different locations to host my mini session events. Want to go to the beach? Perfect, I go to Pacific City (It’s my hometown) every Summer. Want to grab beautiful portraits in the Spring? I know plenty of wildflower or landscaped floral locations just right for this occasion. How about Smith Rock in Redmond!?! I am hosting my first mini session event here in the Summer of 2023. Each year I like to switch it up so you will always have a great selection to choose from!
3. Mini sessions are affordable.
Family photos can be expensive and are certainly an investment, but mini sessions are a great way to get updated photos without breaking the bank. Mini sessions are typically around 50%(or more) less expensive than a full portrait session. This is because I schedule several sessions in one location and have most of the information sent out to multiple clients in one email as opposed to a full session where are time is spent planning something more unique and custom for a family and only take 1 or 2 full portrait sessions on any one day.
4. You'll get great results.
When you work with a professional photographer for a mini session, you're guaranteed to love the results. Professional photographers know how to capture those special moments and turn them into cherished memories that will last a lifetime. We know our clients ahead of time and I am always sure to ask about each family member to ensure I can work my magic in a short period of time without sacrificing quality.
