After a few inquiries came in about the possibility of offering a mini session for holiday cards, (something I surprisingly have never done before!), I decided it was time to try a little “experiment”.
Mini means “short” in this case. My usual sessions usually last between 1-2 hours, so I was wondering two things:
1. How many fabulous shots could I achieve in 15 minutes?
2. How much could I fit into a 30 minute family session?
Since much of my work is a product of longer shoots, I wanted to show an example of one that was timed to the minute 🙂 Literally! In order to make the challenge even greater, I decided upon this lovely family with SIX CHILDREN 🙂 I owe Micah big time anyway (more on that later), so a complimentary shoot is one of my humble offerings of gratitude to the help that he’s giving me right now.
Here are a few favorites from the first FIFTEEN MINUTES... As you can see, its TOTALLY ENOUGH TIME… even for a family of eight!
And how about the entire 30 minutes? Check out the entire session in this lovely slideshow.
Are you sufficiently excited?
Details coming soon!
