Mini Session OR Custom Photography: Which is Right for You and Your Brand?

Choosing the best photography session for your brand can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with options like mini sessions or custom photography!

I offer both options to clients, and both offer unique benefits.

Understanding the key differences can help you make an informed decision, and book the style which will help you grow your brand.

So let’s look at both, and compare!

Mini Sessions: A Quick and Affordable Option

A Mini Session does not mean a compromise in quality! It is more about time availability and, often, budget considerations.

Mini Sessions are short, pre-planned photo shoots that offer a convenient and budget-friendly way to update your branding .

Key benefits of mini sessions:

  • Affordable: Mini sessions are an affordable entry-level package option, costing £159, for those with either limited availability and/or budget.

  • Convenient and Quick: At 45 minutes per session, it can be scheduled during your lunch break!

  • Fast Turnaround: I aim to have your images ready within 72 hours, so you can quickly start to update your online presence!

Custom Photography: Tailored to Your Needs

From full length studio sessions to outdoors' lifestyle or location shoots - the creative possibilities are endless!

Custom photography offers a personalised experience, allowing us to collaborate to create unique and artistic images. We’ll talk about location, poses, outfits, and even the overall style of your photos.

Key benefits of custom photography:

  • Personalised: You have input over the creative direction of your session.

  • Flexible: You can customise the session and outfits to suit your preferences.

  • Artistic: Custom photography often results in more creative and unique images.

  • All-In Packages: Custom Photography Packages include not only online copies of your images, but also printable full resolution copies, to be used in your printed advertising, business card designs and banners!

Which is Right for You?

The best choice between mini sessions and custom photography depends on your specific needs and preferences.

Consider these factors, before deciding:

  • Money and Time: If you're on a tight budget, just starting out, or time-limited, mini sessions are a better option.

  • Desired outcome: If you want highly personalised and artistic images, custom photography is the way to go.

  • Location: Mini sessions are only photographed in my studio, in Launceston, while custom photography allows you to choose different location(s)*.

*Subject to mileage charges.

Ultimately, the best way to decide is to weigh the pros and cons of each option and choose the one that aligns most closely with your goals and needs!
