I am scheduling two days of mini-sessions for the holidays. These are 20-30 minute short sessions geared directly to getting you one or two shots for holiday gifting and cards (and though printed cards are not part of the package I do have a selection of templates you can use to order cards should you so desire. The templates can be viewed HERE.)

Your mini-session includes:

• Electronic pre-consultation. This is, I admit, impersonal but it helps to make sure that those 5-10 shots are the ones you are looking for and I’m not shooting blind, which is awkward in photography.
• 20-30 minute session. This is significantly shorter than a regular session but kids are often pretty fabulous within the first 10 minutes and quite done by 40. Obviously, there won’t be sleeping newborn “Simply Babies” shots in this mix.
• 5-10 proofs from which to choose. Regular sessions start at 20 and are usually 30ish. Mini sessions, being mini, obviously have fewer pictures.
• Online ordering. I have done away with online ordering for all but mini-sessions because it was known to make people want to throw their computers across the room, preferably at my head. However, keeping mini-sessions as streamlined as possible helps me to keep the costs down. If, however, the software makes you want to scream and throw things at me we can do a phone ordering session instead.
• 11×14 (or smaller) portrait.
• 10 desk prints (8X10 or smaller). All prints must be the same size and same image. 8X10 prints are $65 a-la-carte so this *poof* is a $650 value in one line item.
• 50 4X6 prints (same image) OR 1 digital negative (cropped to 4X6 at 300dpi). Whether you have me print them or opt to print them yourself, photos are the piece de resistance of holiday cards and gains you 5 points in the Swistle Thistle holiday card scoring game. Order an extra set of bulk 4X6 prints for 2 more points

*Yes, it’s cheaper in August. No, you don’t get less stuff. I start to get very busy in late September and go flat out through the end of November so if you go early and aren’t tucked into my busiest time, you get a discount.
