What is a Mini Session?
A mini session is a smaller version of my normal family portrait session. There is only one location set for the day you choose with open time slots available on a first come, first serve basis. You come to the location, dressed and ready to go, and we spend 30 minutes capturing family photos, kid/sibling photos, possible individual shots and if time allows, a few candids. A full session allows for many more unscripted moments but with 30 minutes, we are just going for the basics that you will need to update your frames, have fresh images for your holiday cards, and a few fun shots to show off on Facebook. After the session, you will be emailed a link to your private online gallery with 10 edited images for you to choose from as well as all of our product options. You will receive a CD with 5 images and you'll be able to purchase prints or other products at ridiculously discounted prices.
For mini sessions to work, you need to show up 10 minutes early and ready to go! No finishing up make up, hair or snacks. Be ready please! If you are late your session will be cut short and less images may be provided to you. If you have kids that need naps, please be sure to schedule a time that will work around their schedule so we can have an fun and enjoyable session. ;)

What is included in the session fee?
The mini session comes with 5 edited, high resolution images on a disc and a private online gallery that will contain up to 10 photos to choose from. If you wish to purchase additional products or prints, you may do so from the private online gallery.
What is the max number of people we can have for a Mini Session?
I suggest up to four people but am aware that some may have larger families. I will take as many people in your immediate family but, please be aware that we are limited to only 30 minutes. I will try my very best to get all the shots I can in that 30 minutes!
How much is a mini session?
A mini session is $85 for the session. I am required to add California State Sales tax (8.25%) on to the session fee. There will be an additional cost to cover shipping the CD and other products as well.
How do I book our spot?
All sessions are booked first come, first serve. Please select your desired date and time below and email me that you would like to book it. I will send you a contract within 24 hours and take the full session fee of $85 + tax to hold your spot. Fees are non-refundable, unless you or I am able to rebook your spot.
What do you mean when you say “edited images to choose from”?
That means I cull all of your photos for the best of the best, then add my unique style, crop if needed and prepare them for presentation. It does not mean that I do tummy tucks, chin reductions, wrinkle removing or other major edits. I am happy to do this type of editing for you; the rate for extensive editing is $60/hour. Most images take approx 20 minutes each for basic wrinkle removing/skin softening/eye enhancing and a little longer for digital plastic surgeries, but we will prorate the editing amount for you. (ie., if you have us edit 1 image and its takes 15 minutes, the cost is $15 for that image.)
Will you provide props for our shoot, or can we bring them?
My mini sessions are themed so there will be some props. You are more then welcome to bring a few things you want to incorporate to add a personal family touch!
Can we do a full hour family session instead of the Mini Session?
I do offer full hour sessions starting at $350. If you wish to have a full family portrait session, please contact me for available dates and information.
What should we wear?
Choose two to three colors (for example navy, grey and yellow) and build your outfit around that. Have each person wear the colors in different combinations, keeping in mind that you don’t all have to look the same. Keep it simple, keep it comfortable and wear what you like. Stay away from big logos, loud patterns and all white or black shirts.
I have more questions. How should I reach you?
Just email me at catchthesunphotos@yahoo.com and I will get right back to you!
