What is a Mini Session?

Mini sessions are quick, easy, and designed for busy moms who value capturing cherished family moments without taking up too much time. Whether you're scrambling to get the perfect holiday card photo, eager to capture your kids as they grow, or just want to update your family portraits, mini sessions are the perfect solution. Let's make the most of these moments and create lasting memories—because there's never a bad time to document your family's journey with beautiful new photos!

The difference between a mini-session and a full session

If you're a mom who treasures every milestone in your family's journey, you might be curious about the differences between a mini-session and a full session. Let me break it down for you.

A mini-session is a condensed version of the full photography experience. Instead of the typical 60 minutes (or 90 for an extended session), mini-sessions are a brief 20 minutes, making them perfect for capturing those special moments quickly.

During mini-sessions, I schedule appointments back-to-back, ensuring that every minute is put to good use. There’s no downtime—just continuous fun and stunning photos.

I handpick specific dates, times, and locations for these sessions, which are only available on pre-announced dates. With several location options and limited time slots, mini-sessions are in high demand. Once they’re booked, they’re gone for the year. Don’t miss your chance to capture your family’s magic in a mini-session!

What is included?

Capture the joy of your family's special moments with mini-sessions, thoughtfully designed for both convenience and quality. Each mini-session includes:

• A fully edited online gallery where you can select your favorite 15 images for digital download. Want more? Additional photos are available for purchase because every moment is worth preserving!

• Access to the AdelheidV Photography Style Guide, ensuring your photos showcase your unique style and vision.

• Optional purchase options for holiday cards, prints, frames, and extra downloads directly from the online gallery, allowing you to customize your collection to fit your needs.

My priority is to ensure you have an incredible experience during your mini photoshoot. Let’s make each moment truly unforgettable!

Choosing between a Full Session or Mini-Session photos

As a mom who cherishes every milestone with your family, it's essential to choose the photography session that best suits your preferences and needs. Here’s how to decide whether a full session or a mini-session is right for you:

Opt for a Full Session if:

• You want a wide variety of images in your gallery, capturing every detail of your family’s journey.

• You appreciate having more time for creative exploration, experimenting with lighting and poses to achieve the perfect shot.

• Multiple sub-locations within the main photo spot are important to fulfill your vision for diverse and dynamic portraits.

• You desire a larger number of photos for download in your fully edited gallery to preserve every precious moment.

• Your family is large and requires various combinations of group shots to capture your family bond fully.
