Fall Mini Sessions are short sessions. But with a big feeling. These minis are built for real family energy and busy calendars. You get 15 unrushed minutes that keep kids smiling and grown-ups relaxed while we guide simple poses and playful prompts. Each session includes two finished digital images, fully edited and easy to download. Studio dates run from October 27 through December 12, with the option to book a nearby park or a cozy at-home setting inside Pitt County for a small travel fee. Spots are limited, so early booking helps you land the time of day that flatters your crew.
Every mini includes a thoughtful plan that keeps things smooth from the first hello to the last click. We start with gentle direction that feels natural, then move into a few fun prompts that loosen shoulders and spark genuine smiles. Your session lasts fifteen minutes, which is long enough for a variety of portraits and short enough to keep attention high. Two edited digitals are included, hand finished with clean color and flattering skin tones. After your preview gallery arrives, you can add single images or upgrade to a full set if you fall in love with more.
Studio minis are 75, perfect for a modern look with soft light and simple backgrounds that keep the focus on your people. If you prefer trees, leaves, and golden light, choose a nearby park. If your home tells your story best, we can create warm lifestyle images where you live. Park and at-home options carry a small travel fee inside Pitt County, and we will guide you to the best time of day for soft light.
Family sits at the heart of this work. We close the special on December 12 in loving tribute to my older brother, who lost his life in the band bus accident in Plymouth, NC, when I was young. Holding space for him on this date matters to me and to my family. Ending the special on that day lets me serve you with full presence before the holidays while I honor his memory with quiet time, prayer, and gratitude. Thank you for understanding why this date is sacred and for your support, which means more than words.
Community makes small businesses grow, and your word carries real power. If you share this announcement three times and keep quick screenshots as proof, you are halfway to a free mini. A share could be your feed, your story, and a direct message to a friend. When two new clients book after seeing your share and list your name at the time of booking, you receive one free fall mini session as a thank-you.
A few helpful notes: the special fair is for everyone—one free session per household. Proof of three shares is needed before we schedule the complimentary time. Your two referrals must complete their bookings by December 12 and must credit you in their forms. The free session is subject to calendar availability and cannot be transferred or sold. If questions pop up, reach out, and we will walk you through the steps.
Booking with this fall mini session special is simple and fast. Pick a date between October 27 and December 12 that fits your family’s rhythm. Choose your setting: studio, a nearby park, or your home. Submit the session fee to lock in your time, then watch your inbox for a short prep guide with outfit ideas, a quick checklist, and the studio address or park meeting spot. We will confirm everything again the day before your session so you feel ready and relaxed.
Clothing for fall mini sessions should support the story, not distract from it. Solid colors, soft textures, and simple patterns tend to photograph beautifully. Warm neutrals, denim, cream, olive, burgundy, and navy play well with both studio backdrops and fall leaves. Avoid bright neon, large logos, and busy graphics, as they can reflect color on the skin and draw the eye away from faces. Layers add interest and give quick variety without a full change. A knit cardigan, a scarf, or a quilted vest can shift the look in seconds.
Plan pockets or a small bag for keys and phones so hands stay free. Lay outfits on a bed together and snap a photo to see the mix at a glance. If you bring little ones, pack a stain-free snack and a clean wipe for quick touch-ups. We keep sessions fun and light, so a favorite small toy can help tiny hands feel at ease.
Your preview gallery will arrive within two business days. Once you pick your favorites, final edits are delivered within three business days. If you need a rush for cards or gifts, ask, and we will do our best within the calendar.
Yes. Minis are designed for immediate family, including grandparents, while we keep the group size comfortable for a 15-minute flow. If you plan for a larger group or multiple households, a full session gives more time and more combinations.
If the weather is rainy or windy, we will switch to the studio or reschedule your park session to the next available slot. Your comfort and safety come first, and we keep a close eye on the forecast so you never feel uncertain.
Yes. Many families add a handful of favorites or upgrade to the full gallery after they see the preview set. We will share simple pricing and help you pick a bundle that fits your needs.
Each mini includes fifteen minutes and two edited digital images with download access. Sales tax applies as required by law. Reschedules and late arrivals depend on open slots during the special window. Park and at-home options include a small travel fee within Pitt County and may require a time that works best with the light. The offer runs from October 27 through December 12. Availability is limited, so early booking is recommended.
Yes. You can upgrade to the full set for $150. Every image in your gallery receives a careful edit for clean color, balanced contrast, and flattering skin tones so the whole set matches your included selections. Most minis yield between 20 and 45 keeper images depending on light, location, and the age of any little ones, so the exact count can vary. The upgrade includes high resolution downloads for personal use along with a simple print release. If you decide on the full set, tell us when you view your preview gallery and we will send the quick upgrade link.
