What makes my mini sessions different?

My minis are truly mini—quick, efficient, and stress-free! You’ll get the same personalized service and high-quality photos as my full session clients, but in a shorter timeframe. Mini sessions are perfect for capturing a milestone, trying out a session with me, or simply fitting great photos into your busy schedule.

Let’s chat! I’ll ask a few questions to learn more about your needs and help you decide which option makes the most sense for you. I've also written a blog post breaking down the differences between full sessions and mini sessions and you can read it here or check out the mini session-related blog posts below!

What is a mini session?

A mini session is a quick photoshoot (usually 10-20 minutes) scheduled back-to-back with other mini sessions on a specific date at a location chosen by the photographer. These sessions include a limited number of images as part of the price, with the option to purchase additional images from the full gallery afterward.

Mini sessions are only offered during specific dates I schedule for special occasions—I do not offer them as standalone bookings outside of these events. Have an idea for a mini session you'd love to see? Let me know! I’m always open to suggestions.

Who are mini sessions for?

Mini sessions are perfect for families who love the idea of a short, fun session with fewer final images to choose from. They’re ideal for kids who are quick to engage and ready to focus for a brief period but might not last through a longer session.

However, mini sessions might not be the best fit for everyone. If your child is shy, reserved, or needs extra time to warm up, a full session may be a better choice to give them the space to feel comfortable and let their true personality shine.

If you’re unsure whether a mini session or full session is the right fit for your family, let’s chat! I’d be happy to guide you based on your specific needs.

Chattanooga Mini Session FAQ

Can I book a mini session anytime?

No, mini sessions are only offered on specific dates and times. Join my email list to be first to know when I'll be offering mini sessions throughout the year.

How many images will I get?

Each unique mini session will have a set number of photos included in the price with the option to purchase additional images or the entire gallery as well. You will get to pick the specific images you want to be included from the entire gallery of fully edited images.

I have a large family, is a mini enough time?

Probably! I'm very fast! Each session is intended for one family at a time so if you've just got a lot of kids, one session should be plenty. If you want photos with extended family members, you will need additional spots. If you’re concerned about the length of the session, send me a message and let’s discuss.

How do I know if a mini session is right for my family?

If your kids are quick to warm up and share their true smiles and are good at focusing and following directions, they will do well with a mini session! If your kids are shy or take time to warm up, you will likely have better results booking 2 mini spots back-to-back or booking a full session where we can take our time and I can create an experience that is unique to your family's needs!

Do you offer any discounts on mini sessions?

I sometimes offer special discounts to my VIP email list so make sure you're on it! If any discounts are available, they will be listed with the mini session information above!

Will you open more time slots?

It is possible but nothing is decided yet. If you would like to be notified in the event more spots open, please join my VIP email list.

I’m busy that day; are you offering mini sessions on any other day?

All dates for the current mini session are listed. If all spots fill up, there is a possibility that I will add additional dates or times. If you'd like to be notified when additional dates open up, join my VIP email list!

Are you going to offer other themed mini sessions?

I hope to! If you have a theme you’d like to see a mini session for, message me and let me know!

Are mini sessions for families or children only?

Great question! Most mini sessions are intended for families or can be focused on just your children (or pets!) If a mini session is set up specifically for children only, it will be listed in the mini session information above.

Should I do a mini session or a full session?

There are many reasons that make mini sessions and full sessions different and there are pros to each. Minis can be a great way to "try out" a photographer before investing in a full session. If you have questions about which type of session is best for you, let me know and we can figure out how to get you exactly what you want and need!

Are the Unicorn Minis for Children only?

The Unicorn Mini Experience is meant primarily for children but adults are welcome to hop in for a photo at the end! I recommend your child be able to sit up in order to benefit most from the session. Photos of younger children can be taken with the unicorn nearby or in the background. The ideal age for this experience is 4-12 in my opinion but anyone who loves unicorns should not hesitate to participate!

What are the safety measures for the Unicorn Minis?

Safety first and always! The owner of the unicorn ponies will be present for the entire mini session event and will assist children in interacting safely with the horses. The unicorns are professional working animals with lots of experience around people and children especially.

I still have questions.

No worries! Message me your question and I’ll get right back to you.

Need more than a mini session?

I get it, sometimes a mini is just not enough! Check out information on some of my full sessions below!

Mini Session Testimonials

Chenaie Bacon

“Christian is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with. She was knowledgeable, prepared, and made all my children feel at ease and comfortable to be themselves throughout the session. I was shocked at the beautiful images she was able to capture that perfectly exemplified my children’s personalities in just a twenty minute mini session. I will forever cherish these images and will now always use Christian Grant for all of my pictures!!”
