Full or Mini...Which one is right for your family?
Fall Mini's are around the corner, and with recent inquires I've noticed families all have the same question.
"Tiffany, What choice is right for me and my Family? A full session...or a mini?"
You've come to the right place, my friend! There are a lot of variables that determine which session is right for your family in this current season, but I'm going to break it all down and help you choose with confidence when you book your next session!
MINI SESSIONS:
Mini sessions are short and sweet and take place on certain days of the year. Here at Luner Photography, I only offer mini sessions during the Spring and Fall.
Mini sessions take place at an exact location , and typically last anywhere from 15-20 minutes. The price point for these are lower then my standard full sessions, as I'm able to fit in multiple families on the same day. Due to the shorter time frame, mini sessions also come with less images in your gallery.
This quick paced session is great for returning clients, headshots, updated holiday card photos, or pet photos.
Simply put Mini sessions are great when you just need some quick updated photos of you and your crew, and want to keep things affordable.
FULL SESSIONS:
Full sessions are always my recommendation because you get so much more time for photos. Full sessions can be held at a location you've chosen, or one from my favorites list. They last anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour, and an outfit change is optional for those who wish to have two looks. (Think Seniors and Engaged Couples)
Full sessions give us time for those posed photos you want to hang on the wall, while also allowing space for play, and candid moments. The slower pace helps kids unwind, and get comfortable, so that their true personalities can shine.
More time comes with more images in your gallery, background versatility, and a complete story of your family in this current season.
There's no wrong choice between the two sessions. Both deliver beautifully edited images that showcase your family. Some families book a Mini each year for quick updated photos, while some book a Full session every few years. I'm a firm believer that one day, all we have to look back on is the photos we remembered to take. If you haven't had photos taken in a while, or your family is experiencing a new milestone, reach out!
I host Minis every May for Spring, and October for Fall. If you'd like to book a Fall Mini this year, head to the contact page of my website to send me an email. Limited spots are available. Well behaved, leashed pets are welcome, and highly encouraged at both session lengths, but locations must allow them.
Current 2026/2027 pricing:
Full Session : $549
Mini Session: $295
The best time to book Minis is early Spring, and late Summer. For Full sessions, I highly encourage you book at least 2 moths in advanced so that I can make sure I have room for you on my calendar.
I hope this blog post helped you decide what is right for your family this fall. To send an inquiry, please email me at : hello@lunerphotography.com. I can't wait to hear from you!
