Mini Session FAQs
Q: What is a mini session?
A: Mini sessions offer a simple & convenient format for capturing photos of your family at a super affordable price! Plus, the short session time makes it easy for those who don't have a lot of time to spare – or don't want to spend a ton of time in front of the camera.
Q: When can I expect to receive my digital photos?
A: About 3 weeks after your session, you'll receive an online gallery with 25+ edited images to choose your final selects.
Q: What if I LOVE all my photos—can I purchase extras or all?
A: Yes! For an extra fee, you can absolutely purchase extra images or even all your beautiful photos.
Q: What if none of these dates/locations work for me?
A: Feel free to reach out and let me know your circumstances. You can also join my email list to be the first to hear about my mini sessions. Contact me at info@kaitlynhoffmanphotography.com.
Q: How should I prep for my mini session?
A: Plan to arrive a few minutes early. Make sure everyone is well fed. And don't forget a little treat or bribe candy (marshmallows or gummies work great) to keep small kiddos happy & engaged.
Q: What should I wear during my session?
A: Coordinate your family's outfits by picking 2-3 colors to work with — but be sure to consider the location when choosing your colors (i.e., don't wear green to the Christmas Tree Farm). Add in 1 or 2 patterns that compliment or different shades/hues of those colors. Include textures when possible, like velvet, corduroy, faux fur, etc. When in doubt, neutral or earth tones are always a safe bet. I will also give you access to my Pinterest boards for more wardrobe inspiration.
