Looking for a Fall mini session in Sandy Springs?
You've come to the right place! I grew up in Sandy Springs and visit family there often so it only made sense to offer a mini session option for all my friends and family who still live in the North Atlanta area! This year I'm offering one date of Fall minis on October 20th at the Huntcliff River Clubhouse on the beautiful bank of the Chattahoochee river. I'd love to have you join me!
What makes a mini session with me different?
My minis truly are mini! I'm quick and efficient so that you get the photos you want in a short amount of time. My mini session clients get the same great service and quality of beautiful photos as my full session clients - just in a smaller package! A mini can be a great way to try out a session with me and see how I work before investing in a full session.
Not sure if you need a mini session or a full session?
Let's chat! I'd love to ask questions about your family and help you determine which type of session might be the best fit for you at this time. While I'm based in Chattanooga, I do offer full sessions in the Atlanta area year-round as I visit family often. Learn more about the difference between a full session and a mini session in this blog post or check out the mini session-related blog posts at the bottom of the page!

What is a mini session?
A mini session is a short session, usually 10-20 minutes long at the most, and booked back-to-back with other mini sessions scheduled on a specific date and in a location chosen by the photographer. Mini sessions typically include a limited number of images as part of the mini session price with additional images available to purchase from the full gallery after the session. A mini session cannot be booked as a single, standalone session. I only offer full sessions outside of specific mini session days that I schedule in advance for special occasions. If you have an idea for a mini session, let me know and we may be able to set something up!
Who is a mini session for?
A mini session is for anyone who prefers a short and sweet session with a smaller number of final images to choose from. A mini session is great for kids who can focus quickly and stay engaged for a short time but who might get overwhelmed or lose interest in a longer session. Alternatively, a mini session is not for anyone who might need extra time to warm up or get comfortable. A full session might be a better fit for any shy or reserved children who need time to feel it out and trust me before showing their true smiles and personality. If you have concerns about your child and whether a mini session or a full session is best for your family, let's chat!

Mini Session FAQ
Can I book a mini session anytime?
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?
The Huntcliff Minis are limited and I am not able to add additional spots at this time. Use the links above to check availability and secure your spot before they fill up!
I’m busy that day; are you offering mini sessions on any other day?
All dates for the current mini session are listed. Use the links above to check available time slots or send me a message if you'd like to book a full session on a different date.
Are mini sessions for families or children only?
Great question! These mini sessions are perfect for anyone! This includes families or your mini can be focused on just your children (or pets!)
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!
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 time! 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!!”
