Mini Session FAQ’s:

What is a mini session?

A mini session is a shortened version of my full photography sessions.  It’s great for that updated family picture for holiday cards and gifts, or an introduction to custom photography for those who have never had the opportunity to have a session before.  Mini sessions are best for five people or less and over the age of 4 months.

I have a newborn – they can’t be in my mini session?

I have no problem with newborns, or including them in a mini session.  However, newborns and babies under 4 months of age are time intensive subjects to photograph due to all that comes along with that age (feedings, diaper changes, clothing changes if baby has made a mess).  If you are looking for individual shots of just your baby then you should contact me about a newborn/baby session which has it’s own pricing.

I have a pet/furbaby.  Can they be in my mini session?

Absolutely, so long as you can keep control over them.  If you know your pet doesn’t do well in different environments or with strangers, it’s better for your pet that they maybe sit this one out.

How long until I see my photos?

Your gallery will be up for viewing within 14 days (though I will strive for sooner).  Your gallery will be active for 14 days from when it is uploaded for viewing, sharing and ordering.  If you need to extend your gallery viewing beyond 14 days a $20 charge will apply.

What’s a digital negative and why would I want one?

A digital negative is the high-resolution digital file of a fully edited image.  In addition to the file, I will give you a print release that allows for unlimited printing up to size 8”x10”.  This is great for making your own holiday cards, personal prints or scrapbooking!

The package says we’ll have up to 5 images to look at, but only includes 1 of the images on disc.  Can I get them all?

If you are interested in a disc of the remaining images we get from the session, one can be purchased for $50 (up to five images).  Please note that these images will be soft edited (exposure tweaked, color balanced, light blemish removal) but will not have full artistic edits.  The image you choose as part of the original package price will be fully art edited.

What if it’s cloudy out the day of the shoot?

As long as it’s not raining or thunder storming the day of the shoot, we will go on as scheduled.  Often times people photograph better under cloud cover rather than full sun, though with all things certain exceptions apply.  In the event the day is a washout we will reschedule for the rain date.

What should we wear?

Something casual and comfortable!  We’ll be outside so jewel tones or poppy colors tend to photograph best (avoid black and white unless you love it and must have it since black and white tend to blend into the background).  I’m a big fan of textures and layers.  Avoid text, characters and loud prints if possible.  If your mini session is with the whole family try to avoid the draw toward matchy-matchy outfits.  Pick out one outfit and then coordinate around that.  Think of each outfit as making up one big outfit.  But lastly and most important, do not wear something you are uncomfortable in (it will show in your pictures).  And don’t forget your feet!  They will most likely show in your photographs!

I’m ready to book – how do we do this and what do you need from me?

Awesome!  I’m looking forward to working with you!  Email me at carey@careyhoughphotography.com to line up a time.  There are only six slots available so don’t wait too long.  Your time is only reserved once I receive your full payment.  Payment can be made by cash, check or I can send you a PayPal invoice.
