To Mini Session or Not to Mini Session?

Four Reasons Why Your Family Should Consider Booking A Full Session



At Vignettes Photography by Lisa, I've have always been dedicated to preserving the essence of your family's special moments through our lens. My passion lies in creating authentic, fun, and creative portraits that truly capture the spirit of your family and children. Today, I want to discuss why opting for a full 45-minute session is an invaluable choice compared to a 15-minute mini session.

The Gift of Authenticity

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's those unscripted, candid moments that often bring the most joy. My full 45-minute sessions allow for a more relaxed atmosphere, giving your family the time to settle in, be themselves, and let their true personalities shine. Authenticity is the cornerstone of memorable family portraits. Thesesessions provide the space for those real moments to unfold naturally.


Fun and Unrushed Experience

Photography should be a joyful experience for the whole family, especially for children who tend to be more spontaneous. The a 45-minute sessions ensure that everyone can have fun without feeling rushed. There's ample time for your little ones to explore, play, and interact, resulting in genuine smiles and laughter that we can capture forever.


Capturing the Full Spectrum

Life is a beautiful mix of emotions and dynamics, and our full sessions are designed to capture the full spectrum. From playful giggles to quiet, tender moments, a 45-minute session allows me to document your family's unique story comprehensively. It's about more than just taking pictures; it's about creating a visual narrative of your family's journey.


Creative Freedom

With additional time, I can get creative and experiment with various settings, poses, and lighting to produce a diverse range of portraits that reflect your family's style and personality. I love bringing out the creativity in every session, and a 45-minute slot allows me to craft a collection of images that are truly one-of-a-kind.


Final Thoughts

While mini sessions have their place, a full 45-minute session with Vignettes Photography by Lisa, offers you an invaluable opportunity to capture the heart and soul of your family. My sessions are about more than just pictures; they are about creating lasting memories that you and your children will cherish for a lifetime.
