Announcing 2020 "In the Pines" Outdoor Christmas Mini Sessions

So many things are different this year because of Covid-19 - so are my Christmas Mini Sessions!  This year my mini sessions will take place outdoors "In the Pines."  I didn't want to take the chance of potentially exposing myself, my family or my clients to any possible risk of catching or spreading Covid-19 so I was thrilled when my neighbor (just down the road) gave me permission to hold my sessions "In the Pines" behind their property!!  There's plenty of space for us to social distance and masks must be worn when I'm not taking your picture - I will be wearing a mask as well.

I didn't have any helpers to take sample pictures today so my trusty Christmas garden gnome helped me out - see sample pictures below.  Sessions are very limited because I could only schedule them in the afternoons because on a sunny day the light is too harsh earlier in the day for nice pictures.  If it ends up being overcast on the date of your session you'll be given the option of starting a little earlier than your scheduled time because the harsh sun won't be an issue.

Sessions will last 20 minutes for up to 3 children – 5 digital images with print release for $80.  I also offer 30 minute family mini sessions for up to 5 people with 8 digital images for $130.  For sessions where I end up with more than the stated 5 or 8 images I will notify clients of the option to purchase 5 additional images for $50.  A $30 non-refundable deposit is required to lock in your session date and time.  

To book a session email me at [email protected] with “Christmas Mini” or “Family Christmas Mini” in the subject line, indicate the date and time you prefer and list the names and ages of the children to be photographed.  Sessions are limited and will be filled on a first come first serve basis so book your session today!  All images will be available via digital download within 48 hours of your session so you’ll have plenty of time to order prints and send your Christmas cards out on time!
