New this year: Want to add film to your mini-session this year? If you want to add a roll of film to the FIRST session of a weekday or weekend slot, please message me after your booking is complete to allow time to order film and set up your corrected scheduled start time of your session. The film roll is $150 (in addition to the retainer fee). The $150 includes all the digital negatives from the film roll to reprint up to 11x14 inches. It will also give you 15 more minutes in the session time (starts 15 minutes earlier) and at least double the total numer of images! The editing time will be three weeks to get the film back, so make sure you allow extra time when making your booking choice of date!
If you are new around here, then a few things to note. The mini-sessions are for one family unit only. If you have a family with more than five members, just reach out so we can talk about whether a mini-session is right for you. Or, if you are looking for an extended family session, let me know. Generational family photo sessions are my favorites, but they just don’t get the justice and time the deserve squished into a 30 minute photo session. These are not ideal for newborns either but I will leave that up to you as parents, just know that family will be the focus, not newborn posed imagery. The proofing galleries will all be ready within 3 weeks of your session date, unless you book a holiday session, our goal will be to deliver those within 7-10 days.
Starting early in the seasson before the rush, there are one dates with special early pricing: Saturday, September 24th
Fall sessions run through October. The holiday pricing and sessions will be held in November and the first weekend in December (cut off for any holiday orders is that first weekend in December).
Retainers are non-refundable and due at the time of booking.
Want to talk before booking? I am happy to discuss if a mini-session is right for your family. You may email me at Brooke@HamiltonCreekPhotography.com and set up a phone call or just email questions anytime! Just know the bookings are the only options for mini-sessions for the rest of 2023 and once they are booked, they are booked.
