Spring and Early Summer Booking 2021
Mini Sessions and Full Sessions
I am writing this today, on the first day of Spring. It’s been quite a year, my friends. Somehow we made it work. But I am looking towards a better future. I just got my first Covid vaccine yesterday and will be fully vaccinated by the end of April. The sun is shining, it’s warm. I hope you are doing well!
Even though I will be fully vaccinated – I am still going to be wearing a mask to your session (double mask or KN95 for indoor shoots), I will avoid touching you. If you want me to bring props like blankets or a box for littles to sit on please let me know! I totally understand that not everybody will be comfortable with using my props quite yet.
My studio will remain closed until Fall which is really a bummer but I have big plans for the Christmas shoots this year and will have an indoor space again for those (Covid numbers and Governor permitting) so stay tuned! For now I am still doing indoor lifestyle newborns and family session in your home if that’s something you are interested in. Please send me a message if you’re interested in an in-home newborn session and I will inform you about pricing.
As always I am offering two kinds of sessions – Mini Sessions and Full Sessions and I have kept my pricing the same for the last three years.
For Spring and early Summer (till the end of July) there is no weekend fee. From August till December the pricing is higher on the weekends since those spots are so popular.
There are several reasons to book a Spring/Early Summer sessions:
- The fact that weekends are the same price as weekdays
- Flowers – flowering trees in April and May, blooming wild flowers in June, July and August – I am always scouting locations to make sure I find a spot that’s not just green but also has some pretty flowers
- Much more predictable weather and more sunny days than in Fall
- May and June are not as sticky and muggy as August and September
Mini Sessions
$290
Do you need an updated family picture? Do you just want some nice pictures of you and your kids but you don’t want anything time consuming? Then the Mini may be a good option for you.
Outdoor Mini sessions are 20 to 30 minutes long. I shoot most of my outdoor Mini sessions at Winnemac Park. It’s the perfect place for Minis because we can get a good variety of pictures in a short amount of time and the foliage there is gorgeous. I sometimes shoot Minis in other places if I have a Full session before or after.
Included in the price of a Mini are ten edited photos in both color and black-and-white. You may purchase extra pictures for $25 or upgrade to a full gallery. You will receive an online gallery with your photos to download as high-resolution files and an option to order prints.
Full Sessions
$490
In the Full sessions we take our time and try to capture moments and emotion. We spend 40 to 60 minutes together. We start out with the sort of pictures we’d do during a Mini session – smile in the camera, the perfect family portrait. After we get those shots, we play, we laugh, we run around. I’m going to make this experience as relaxed and positive and fun as possible for you and your kids. My goal is to get everybody out of their shell and to just capture love and personality.
With a Full session you receive at least 60 pictures, usually more, in both color and black-and-white versions. You will receive an online gallery with your photos to download as high-resolution files and an option to order prints. Grandparents may be included in a Full Session but if you want to include cousins or friends or another family, your session becomes and extended family session – please contact me for custom pricing (depending on how many people, where, …).
Below you will find all my open dates until the end of July. The weekdays are flexible – if you really want to shoot during a specific week because your baby’s first birthday is that week or grandma is visiting that weekend but you can’t make the Thursday for the full session – let me know and I will work with you to find a day that works for both of us. On weekends I try to only work on Saturdays – because I have a family too! But should we be rained out on Saturday or if there is really no other day than Sunday that works for you, let me know and we’ll find a way!
Something else I wanted to mention – you don’t have to be a traditional family to do mini or full sessions – every year I do couples, maternity and even friendship sessions. Or maybe just you and your dog or cat – it is really up to you! If you’d like a headshot let me know though because those are cheaper than a mini session!
I am so looking forward to seeing and photographing you and your loved ones this Spring and summer!
