Mini session vs Custom session

Have you wondereed what is the difference between a mini session. that some photographers put on vs. a custom session?

Mini Session

Mini sessions are kind of a little intro to the experience that you would get when booking that photographer.

Custom Session

The full experience with the photographer you're booking.

The differences

The difference between a mini session and custom session are mini sessions are much shorter in length typically ranging from 15-20 mins it really depends on the photographer, but typically is a much shorter version of their usual session. Time is also usually in slots so its up to the photographer which times they'll offer and rhe date of the mini session taking place. Location is chosen by the photographer and not the client. You typically only get back a small amount of photos than you typically would at a custom session. The price is also cheaper than a custom session as well. Some photographers will do themed mini sessions some will just offer basic ones. Its a nice way to get some beautiful images for whatever occasion without having to think too much into it and getting a taste of what that photographer is like to work with and their work.

Custom sessions you get to choose the date, time, location, and how and where you want it. A lot more freedom and its curated to you specifically. They both have their perks and disadvantages. Truly I don't think you can go wrong with either or!

Photos can be such a fun way to express some creativity or have beautiful long lasting images.....Is it worth the cost? Uh yeah you get these images FOREVER!!!

If you were unsure of what these so called "mini sessions" were and how they differentiate between the two hopefully this article helped break down the differences, so you can best decide if its the right fit for you.
