I can’t believe it’s time to start booking fall and Christmas mini sessions again! Is it just me or are the years flying by? For those who don’t know, I am pregnant and due in about a month. Because we’ll have a brand new baby with us this fall/winter, I won’t be doing as many days of mini sessions as I did last year. (But don’t fret—next year I will make up for it and try to do as many days as you guys want!) Because of this, spots are going to be limited and are going to get booked up so fast. Don’t hesitate to grab a spot if you want one because I promise they will all book up.

I won’t be traveling to North Carolina or Georgia this year. I can’t even begin to explain how sad I am about this. I just know it will be too much for me if I plan a lot of traveling this fall. I have a few weddings I’ll be traveling for, and just don’t want to overload my plate. Like I said, I will make it up to you guys next year!

Santa mini sessions are TBD. I would like to try to do a day of these in Columbia again this year, but plans aren’t solidified for those yet. I will let you know as I know more.

Let’s get to it! Details about fall and Christmas minis:

DATES:
Fall minis: October 23rd
Christmas tree farm minis: November 6th and November 7th

— Gilbert, SC is the location for all three dates. Exact address given after booking. (If you would like the address beforehand because you plan to travel and want to see how long it will take, email me!)
— I have two options for time slots (either 20 or 30 minutes).
PLEASE read below for more details.
— $275 for a 20-minute spot; $300 for a 30-minute spot, payable up front to book.
— All the best images are included
— Spots are first come, first served. Retainers need to be paid and contracts signed within 24 hours of grabbing your spot.

It’s about 50/50 on whether you guys prefer 20-minute sessions or 30-minute sessions, so this year I am offering both. Here is my recommendation: if you have multiple small children or children who may take a little extra time to get them to cooperate for pictures, book a 30-minute spot. That extra time will be so helpful! If you are a couple or have older kids, the 20-minute spots would be perfect for you! If you have any questions about which spot to book, please reach out to me and I can help you decide.

There are two links to book—one is for the 20-minute spots and one is for the 30-minute spots. Make sure you’re selecting the correct link and that you are picking the correct date on the calendar for the session you want. (October is fall and November is Christmas!)
