The Important Details
Your session retainer is due at the time of booking; whether doing a weekday mini, or weekend mini-session date. The only way to secure your preferred time and location is to book in advance. The mini session is for one family unit, preferrable less than five family members. However, if you have a big family, just reach out and let's discuss if 30 minutes will be enough time for your family. No extended families in a mini-session, that just won't do the family justice, so reach out to discuss other options, or book two back to back sessions if you can! If you want to purchase additional digital negatives, keep in mind they are $50 each, so many times you are going to get more bang for your buck by purchasing lovely tangible artwork to enjoy and if you spend $150, you will get a digital negative to download and reprint up to 11x14 inches.
If you need to reschedule due to illness, please alert us as soon as you can and know that your location may not stay the same but we will do our best to accomadate a set make up date.
