Is a Mini Session Right for Me? | Family Photographer

Barrington IL Family Mini Session

Have you ever searched for a family photographer & wondered which type of session would work best for your family – mini or full? You are not alone! “Is a family mini session right for me”? This question is one of the most common when clients call us to book their family photography sessions.

To help make your decision easier, I have included 5 simple questions you can ask yourself. If you are able to answer yes to most of the questions below, a mini session might be right for you.

5 Questions to Ask Yourself

1. Expectations: Do you only want a few good images, have a small wish list and are okay with the faster pace at a mini session?
2. Budget: Does your budget call for a full session or would you like to just try us out without investing in a full session?
3. Your family: Are you fairly confident your children will listen well during our shortened window of time?
4. Location: Do you like the location and does it fit your style or the style of images you hope to see in your family photos?
5. Time: Are you confident that you can get everyone ready and to our location before your scheduled time? Being timely is key to getting the most out of a shortened session window.

How many yeses did you answer? If you’ve decided that a mini session would be great for you, let me show you an small example of what your session might look like. BTW… how cute is this family??
