2023 Mini Sessions Ideas Pt. 1

In case you missed my about me, page or the “Tog” part in MomTog I am a photography business owner. I specialize in photographing couples and families. Every year during the month of December, I like to plan out my mini-session ideas or what I like to refer to as limited edition sessions. I feel as though calling it a mini-session makes it sound cheap. (Haha) photography is a luxury and an investment so I want to make my clients feel like they are getting the biggest bang for the buck.

Now, if you do not know what a mini-session is, it is a shorter session that typically lasts around 10 to 15 minutes. The sessions’ purpose is to give your clients a little sneak peek into the services you offer at a reduced rate and a limited amount of images are included (unless you are IPS). Mini sessions will take place on a designated day, and are filled with time slots that your clients book.

Make sure to carefully plan each session. This includes pricing, contract, booking process, design of the set, location, and last but not least marketing. Stay tuned for a future post about “How to book a Successful Mini Session.”

It is now time for the whole reason you landed on this page to begin with.

MINI SESSION IDEAS!

Lavender Sweetheart

If you can’t get to the nearest lavender farm or maybe you are looking to have more control of your lighting. Either way, would you believe me if I told you this is a backdrop? Guess what? It is! I used a beautiful lavender field backdrop, and lavender overlay, and rented a beautiful gown to achieve the look I was going for.

Circus

Oh! This is one of my favorite mini-session ideas. Sparkle and glam mixed in perfectly with a gorgeous cotton candy-colored circus backdrop.

Be My Valentine

I 100% recommend this budget-friendly-themed session. All it took was a solid backdrop, heart-shaped foil balloons, and a bokeh overlay.

Mommy + Me

There is nothing like capturing a mother and their child. These sessions are perfect all year round, but even better for Mother’s Day!

Here are just a few of my favorite sessions. Hey! If anyone reading is local to Connecticut, make sure to look me up for your next session! BOOK HERE
