Before you book
Restrictions:
Outdoor Mini Sessions are available for maternity, senior, baby, engagement, small family or sibling portraits. Mini Sessions may not be booked for cake smash, multiple outfit changes, non-siblings, boudoir, or newborn/young infants. In our experience, babies under 6 months of age have more successful portrait sessions in the studio where we have a greater variety of props for posing babies who cannot yet hold their head up. Outdoor Mini Sessions may not be booked for babies under 4 months of age and we strongly recommend waiting until baby can sit up unassisted for our outdoor sessions of any kind.
Outdoor Mini Sessions may not be booked as a gift. Like all of our sessions, mini sessions must be booked by the parents of children being photographed.
Rescheduling:
Unlike our traditional studio sessions (which we limit to 1-2 per day), our mini sessions are booked back-to-back so that we are able to offer them to you at a discounted rate. If you arrive late for your session, unfortunately that time will be lost from your sitting. Missed sessions are non-refundable. If you must reschedule your session due to an unforeseen circumstance, please allow 48 hours notice and your $75 session fee may be credited towards one of our full priced sessions at a later date. IF there are upcoming mini-session dates available, you may be able to transfer your date. There is absolutely no guarantee that there will be mini-session dates available at the time you reschedule so we strongly discourage booking unless you are certain you can make your appointment.
Rain Dates
The rain date for your outdoor mini session will be the following Wednesday at the same time as your original appointment. Please be sure that you are able to make both your scheduled date AND rain date before booking. If two consecutive Wednesdays rain, we will move the session into the studio on the second Wednesday.
