A long time ago during a lull in my photographic endeavors I took my kids to JCPenney’s Portrait Studios. \u00a0It was a nightmare and we never went back. Lots of people have that experience, but lots of people also love JCPenneys. \u00a0I’ve learned not to be offended. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0On the other hand, private photo sessions are a little on the pricey side for some people. \u00a0So what is a mini session? \u00a0It is the best of all worlds.<\/p>\n

Mini sessions are when a photographer parks herself in a park for a few hours and families sign up for shorter, less expensive sessions. \u00a0It’s private in the sense that it’s just your family being photographed, but it’s a group session in the sense that you’re essentially splitting the cost with another family. \u00a0It’s sort of the JCPenney model, only it’s exceptional photography (did I just say that?). \u00a0And it’s outside. \u00a0Down with cheesey backdrops!<\/p>\n

The added bonus is that you don’t have to organize a thing!

There are generally fewer images to pick from during a mini session because they’re 20 minutes long, which means it’s not ideal for some situations. However, for a lot of people it’s the best of everything and is especially good for Holiday Cards.

Of course, if you’re not ready to order cards yet, you can always order them later and sleep well knowing that the hardest part (keeping kids clean from the time you dress them until they’re done being photographed) has been taken care of already.<\/p>\n

Hooray for mini sessions! \u00a0I should sign up for a slot myself. \u00a0Because our family photos are… well let’s just say the shoemakers son doesn’t have any shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
