Why I offer seasonal mini-sessions
What is a mini session you may be asking…great question!
A mini session is a shorter, typically themed photoshoot in a location picked out by me on dates pre-mini-sessionsdecided as well. You get a limited number of professionally edited images with the opportunity to purchase more if you so desire.
Now, onto why I offer mini sessions…
Affordability: My mini sessions are typically shorter in duration and more budget-friendly compared to full-length photo sessions. This makes professional images more accessible to a wider range of clients, including those who may not be able to afford a full session in various seasons of life.
Seasonal and Themed Opportunities: Mini sessions are often tied to specific seasons, holidays, or themes. I can capitalize on the appeal of these special occasions to attract clients looking for themed photos, such as holiday family portraits, back-to-school sessions, or seasonal outdoor shoots.
Introduction to Photography Services: My Mini sessions serve as an excellent introduction to my services. Clients who may be unsure about investing in a full session can use mini sessions as a trial run to experience my style and professionalism. It’s a wonderful way to get to know if I am a good fit for you and your family.
Quick Turnaround: Because mini sessions are shorter in duration, I have less time shooting and editing. This allows me to offer quicker turnaround times for clients who want their photos more promptly.
Client Retention: I like to keep my existing clients engaged and returning for repeat sessions throughout the year. By offering different themes and seasonal options, I can encourage clients to keep up to date with their family photos.
Time Efficiency: For me, mini-sessions are more time-efficient than full sessions, which is very helpful when you have a small and growing family at home. I am able to schedule multiple mini-sessions in a single day, being able to provide for multiple clients in a time efficient way.
Creative Freedom: With my mini sessions it allows me to get creative and experiment with different concepts, props, and locations. This creative freedom is fun for me and hopefully exciting for my clients.
Client Convenience: Mini sessions are scheduled on specific dates and times, making it more convenient for clients to plan their sessions around their busy schedules.
Gift-Giving Opportunities: Mini session packages can make for attractive gifts for family and friends. Clients can purchase sessions as gifts for family and friends, particularly during the holiday season which is something different and fun to provide for those you love.
In summary, I offer mini sessions as a way to cater to a broader audience, provide affordable options, and take advantage of seasonal and themed opportunities. These shorter sessions can serve as an excellent entry point for clients and help me market my services effectively and creatively.
