Frequently Asked Mini Photo Session Questions-
*How long are the mini photo sessions?
Mini portrait sessions are 25 minutes each. Please note that because mini portrait sessions are scheduled close together, it’s important that you arrive on time to take advantage of the full 25 minutes.
*When and where can we see the photos?
Photos from the mini sessions will be posted on my online proofing page (password protected) within two weeks of the photo session and will stay online for two weeks. Online proofing allows you to view the photos and easily order your favorites. You’ll also have the option to e-mail photos to friends and family and allow them to look at the photo gallery.
*Can I purchase the digital negatives to print the images myself?
Absolutely. I offer several different options for purchasing your retouched high resolution digital images and the digital packages have quickly become bestsellers. And why not? Getting your digital images means that you can print as many photos as you like in whatever sizes you want. This gives you an enormous amount of flexibility and frees you from having to make the final decision about sizes and quantities when you place your order. Want to make 120 copies of your favorite photo and send it to all of your people? No problem! The images are yours to do with as you please.
I like the idea of having the digital images, but I don’t really know what to do with them once I get them. Can you give me some advise?
I really love the idea of my clients having the digital images because I want you to own the image and not just one piece of paper. But that definitely doesn’t mean that I want you to take them down to Walgreens (unless you happen to be in a huge hurry and have a great excuse for it) to get mediocre prints made (sorry, Walgreens- I do love your shampoo and fingernail clippers, but your prints sometimes leave something to be desired). When you purchase the digital images, I’ll provide you with lab suggestions and printing instructions. There are a lot of great labs out there now that will deliver your prints right to your door without you ever leaving the house. I’ll even post your images on my favorite consumer (you have to have a pro account to use my lab) site so you can get prints quickly and easily without even needing to upload them on your end.
*What should my child wear?
Fun accessories are great. Got a cute hat with ears on it or a bright scarf? Bring it! Does your little boy prefer to wear his Superman costume rather than regular clothes? Well, if you like it, let him wear it. I love costumes. It’s best to avoid busy logos or t-shirts with writing on them as they have a tendency to date a picture, but other than that, just choose something you’d like to see in the photos. Bright colors and textures are great too.
*What should I bring with me?
If your child has a particular toy that makes her smile, please bring it along. Toys that make noise are great for smaller children. And a favorite stuffed animal can be a big help for children that are shy and don’t want to take photos alone.
*Do you take color or black and white photos?
Both. I use a digital camera, so all of the photos are originally color, but I’ll add some black and white versions of your photos to your gallery and you’ll have the option to choose black and white for any photo you like when ordering.
