If you’re in the midst of planning a photography session, whether it’s for your newborn baby or just a general family session, you’ve probably heard the term ‘mini session’ mentioned quite a bit.
There are a few differences when it comes to a mini photography session vs a custom session. Here’s what you need to know before you decide which shoot is best for you.
Time Limits
This is of course one of the main differences between the two sessions. A custom photography session will last thirty minutes to an hour or two while a photographer will usually book several mini sessions in one day since they only last about 15-25 minutes at most.
Number of Poses
Secondly, a custom photography session will allow for as many poses as possible within the time booked while a mini session offers less time so your photographer will use their skills to capture as many candid moments at possible in a shorter period of time.
Number of Photos
While your photographer will still try and shoot as many photos as possible during your mini session, you will naturally end up with fewer photos than you would if you had booked a custom session. A custom session generates between 10 – 30 images while a mini session will give you 5. There will also usually be minimal retouching of the photos taken at a mini session.
So which photography session is best for you?
You may be surprised to find that many of our clients actually choose both! Often our clients will opt for the custom session for the entire family at a location of their choice. This gives them more time to play around with poses, backdrops, props and wardrobe changes. While they opt for mini sessions to get a few great photos of the kiddos as a compliment in between the custom sessions.
Regardless of which you choose, we look forward to working with you!
Below is an idea of the differences between our custom sessions. Our seasonal mini sessions are $175 which include 15 minutes time and 5 digital images and only happen during certain times of the year so keep on eye on our Blog, Facebook and Instagram for our next seasonal mini session.
