What is a mini session


Mini sessions are shorter, simplified photo sessions designed to give you beautiful, professional images in a smaller timeframe. They’re perfect for families with little ones, couples wanting a quick updated gallery, maternity photos, or anyone looking for a more affordable and easy-going session experience.


Because mini sessions are held on select dates and locations, everything is planned out ahead of time — making the experience smooth, stress-free, and fun from start to finish.

FAQ

What types of sessions are mini sessions best suited for?

Mini sessions are perfect for couples, maternity, portraits, and smaller families looking for a shorter, more relaxed photo experience. Due to the shorter session time, mini sessions are best suited for groups under 5 people and are not recommended for large or extended family sessions.

 

How many final images can we expect to receive?

You’ll receive 10 high-resolution, professionally edited images delivered through an online gallery. Your gallery will include a selection of the best moments from your session to choose from.

 

What should we wear to our session?

 

Think cozy, festive, and coordinated rather than perfectly matching! Neutrals like cream, beige, brown, and grey pair beautifully with classic holiday jewel tones like deep green, burgundy, navy, and rust. Soft patterns, knits, layers, and textures can also add a little extra warmth and personality to your photos.


Instead of everyone wearing the same colours or outfit, choose a few complementary shades/textures and mix them throughout the group. Most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable and confident in!

 

Can we purchase additional images and upgrade to the full gallery?


Yes! $20.00 + GST per additional professionally edited image.

Full gallery upgrade options may also be available depending on your session gallery.
