Valentine's Day Mini-Session Ideas

To keep your mini-sessions profitable, and you and your clients happy, remember these key characteristics of what makes a mini-session different from a regular photoshoot. It’s always better that everyone has the same expectations going into a photo shoot. 

‍

A mini-session is a short photography session that takes place at the location and time chosen by the photographer and gives clients between 3-5 final photographs. A mini-session is:

• Short and takes less than 15-20 minutes from beginning to end
• Takes place at a location that the photographer chooses
• Takes place on a date that the photographer chooses
• Between 3-5 final images for clients

‍

Another big difference between the two types of sessions is that mini-sessions are stacked, meaning you shoot multiple sessions back-to-back. That’s why mini-sessions are cheaper. They allow you to maximize your time and offer volume pricing. Sticking to these guidelines will help give your clients a clear idea of what they are getting with their mini- session (which always makes for happier clients!), and keeps these sessions profitable for your business.
