❓ Sacramento Mini Session FAQs

Q: How long is a mini session? A: Mini sessions are 20 minutes long, perfect for quick, natural smiles without wearing the kids out.

Q: How soon will I get my photos back? A: Galleries are typically delivered within 2 weeks.

Q: Can I bring my dog to my mini session? A: Yes! Well-behaved dogs are always welcome! Just let me know ahead of time and be sure to bring some treats to help create some positive reinforcement.

Q: What if the weather is bad? A: I keep an eye on the 10-day forecast religiously this time of the year. As soon as I see rain, I'll reach out to you regarding our options. In most cases, I wait to make the call the night before our session, when the 12-hour doppler radar is more accurate. I do not make the call to reschedule more than 3 days in advance.

Q: Can I get more than 15 images?

A: Absolutely! You can purchase additional images for $25 each, or upgrade to the entire gallery for $100 at the time of booking (or $150 after delivery).
