Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What age is appropriate for a baby to join the Santa mini session?
​
A: All of my mini sessions are tailored to babies who can sit without support. If your baby is under 6 months old or cannot sit up without assistance, I would suggest a full session customized for your baby.
Question: What if my baby needs more time to warm up or is scared of strangers?
​
Answer: Our mini sessions focus on capturing 5-7 images, so they are generally brief. If your baby tends to be shy or is going through a "stranger danger" phase, you might want to consider booking a full family holiday session instead. From my experience, little ones under 4 may not smile with Santa and could even cry. I usually start by taking more family photos before introducing the kids to Santa, as many parents appreciate capturing those genuine reactions. If you're not comfortable with the possibility of crying photos with Santa, I recommend opting for the family holiday mini session instead.
Q: How many pictures can I expect from a mini session?
​
A: My mini sessions usually result in a gallery of 10-15 images. From this gallery, you can choose your favorite 7 images.
​
Q: Does the workflow differ between mini sessions and full sessions?
​
A: For mini sessions, there is no pre-session consultation. Instead, all relevant information will be communicated to you via email. Additionally, there will be no "take-a-peek" photo sent after the mini session. However, the editing process for mini sessions will be similar to that of full sessions. Initially, you will receive soft edited images, and once you select your preferred ones, I will proceed with a second round of touch-ups.
Q: What is your rescheduling and cancellation policy for mini sessions?
​
A: Mini sessions are transferable, but please let me know who you are transferring the session to so that I can communicate with them directly. If you need to reschedule, I am happy to offer an alternative date (which may not be on a weekend). If you need to cancel your session, a cancellation fee will be charged before issuing a refund.
Q: Can we request a few specific poses or ideas for mini sessions?
​
A: While I have a well-planned workflow for all mini sessions that ensures the best results and high-quality pictures, I understand that you may have specific requests or need customization. However, for mini sessions, I am limited in time and may not be able to accommodate such requests. If you have specific ideas or would like more time for customization, I would recommend booking a full session with me.
