Should You Book A Fall Mini Session Or A Full Family Photo Session?

Is a mini session or a full session right for your family? 

It really just depends on your goals, budget, and the specifics of your family situation!

Mini sessions might be the best fit for your family if:

- You have a smaller budget

- You don’t want or need as many photos

- You love the variety of taking photos in different seasons and with different backdrops

- You have young kids that are constantly changing and growing every few months and you want to capture all the different seasons of them to freeze time 

- You’re a mama who doesn’t get in FRONT of the camera nearly often enough and need multiple sessions per year to get enough photos with your babies

Now, I do want to do address a common misconception. I hear all the time that moms think they *have* to book a mini session because their kids have short attention spans and won’t last longer than 15 minutes. I know it may seem counterintuitive, but kids who have a harder time paying attention usually do better with a full session. It gives them time to warm up. And it gives me plenty of time to capture the sweet moments in between melt downs. We can play and create memories with zero stress. 

A full session might be right for your family if:

- You want more photos and more variety from each session

- You want a super relaxed session with time for breaks and playing and exploring

- You want a customized session where you get to choose your own location and date

- You have a huge family or you want to include extended family 

- Your kids take longer to warm up

I hope this helps you figure out whether a full session or mini session is right for your family this fall! Still have questions or want to chat through your specific family situation? My email is always open!
