Wohoo! It’s that time of year where the trees get colorful, the air gets a little crispier, seasonal lattes are afloat and of course, family photos are getting updated! 

So tis’ the season of the Fall Mini Photoshoot! 

I love this time of year because I get to see some families and couples that I only get to see once a year. I’ve been lucky enough to some of the same families for the last five years, and it’s truly such a joy to watch you and your kids grow up. Thank you for trusting me with your memories!

Now, I am offering four mini sessions this year, with a total of 15 sessions in the Bay Area. This year you’ll catch me at:

Frequently Asked Questions: 

If you’ve done a mini with me before, awesome – you know the deal. But if you’re new around here and aren’t sure if you want to commit to a fall mini session, here are a few commonly asked questions that might help you make a decision!

1. How long does it take to get my gallery?

Your digital gallery will be available for you in 15 business days. 

2. What if none of these dates work for me?

Due to my limited availability this year, I will only be able to offer three mini photoshoot dates. But the good news is that I offer full sessions year round. These are 30-60 minute sessions where you’ll receive 50 photos and get to pick a location of your choice! If you’re interested in a full session with me, then please reach out at: hello@shannonalyse.com 

3. How do I lock in my date and time?

A 50% deposit is required at the time of book to reserve your spot. The remaining amount is due on the day of your session prior to you shoot! All payments are done through an invoice. If you’d like to use Venmo or Apple Pay those are options as well, just let me know. 

4. How many photos are included in my mini session?

Each mini session includes 20 downloads. If you see that you want more than your 20 downloads, you are able to purchase more and I will send you a separate invoice for either 5, 10 or 15 extra photos. Costs look like this:

• $25 for 5 extra photos
• $50 for 10 extra photos 
• $75 for 15 extra photos
• If you would like access to your full gallery with unlimited downloads, there’s a flat rate of $100.00.
  

5. How many people can I include in my session?

These sessions are available for up to 7 people. With the limited amount of time, any more people would make it difficult to get a variety of photos and poses.

6. What happens if I’m late or miss my session?

This is such a bummer. I don’t offer reschedules for my mini sessions. I do my best to send you a map, location pins, multiple session reminders to help you prepare for you session. If for some reason you’re late, we will use the remaining time we have together to capture your photos, additional time will not be added to your session. 

7. What happens if I need to cancel?

I have one backup date reserved for cancellation this year. This date will be a Friday evening and will not be in the same location as your original mini. All this to say, please don’t miss your session! 

8. What do I wear?

Don’t worry, I’ll send over a guide to help you prepare for what to wear! 

Thank you for working with me again this year! I can’t wait to see so many returning clients and hopefully some new friends as well! If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out to me at hello@shannonalyse.com!
