FAQ

What is a Fall Mini Session?

A Fall Mini Session is a shorter photography session, typically lasting around 20-30 minutes, designed to capture beautiful moments during the vibrant fall season. These sessions are perfect for those who want a few high-quality images without committing to a full-length session. They are especially popular for families, couples, and individuals who want to take advantage of the stunning fall foliage and seasonal colors.

What’s Included in a Fall Mini Session?

In a Fall Mini Session, you’ll receive:

• A 20-30 minute photography session at a picturesque outdoor location.
• 10-15 professionally edited high-resolution images delivered via an online gallery.
• Access to a selection of props and seasonal decorations, such as pumpkins, blankets, and autumn-themed items.
• Optional wardrobe styling advice to help you look your best.

How Do I Book a Session?

Booking your Fall Mini Session is simple! Just visit my website’s booking page jackhaskins.pixieset.com/booking/ and choose an option and available time slot that works best for you. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to secure your session, with the remaining balance due on the day of the shoot. Due to high demand, we recommend booking as early as possible. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so at least 48 hours in advance to avoid a rescheduling fee.

What Should We Wear?

For a Fall Mini Session, I recommend wearing warm, earthy tones like burgundy, mustard, olive green, and cream. Layering is also a great idea, both for style and comfort. Avoid busy patterns or large logos, as they can distract from the overall look of your photos. Coordinating outfits for families or couples—without being too matchy-matchy—helps create a cohesive and polished appearance. And don’t forget comfortable shoes, especially if we’ll be walking in a park or wooded area.

What Should We Expect During the Session?

Expect a fun and relaxed experience! I'll guide you through a variety of poses, both candid and posed, to capture the best moments. My goal is to make you feel comfortable so your natural personality shines through. Since mini sessions are short, we’ll move efficiently, but there will be plenty of time for you to get used to the camera and enjoy the process. It’s all about creating a stress-free environment so I can capture genuine smiles and interactions.

When Will We Receive Our Photos?

You can expect to receive your edited photos within two weeks after your session. I'll send you a link to an online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images. If you’d like to order prints, canvases, or holiday cards, I offer those options directly through the gallery.

What If the Weather Doesn’t Cooperate?

If the weather doesn’t cooperate on the day of your session, don’t worry! I'll keep an eye on the forecast and will reach out to reschedule if necessary. I usually offer a few alternative dates or times, or we can discuss moving the session to an indoor location if possible. Your comfort and the quality of your photos are my top priorities, so I'll work with you to find the best solution.

Can We Bring Pets?

Yes, pets are welcome in your Fall Mini Session! We love capturing moments with your furry family members. Just let me know in advance if you’ll be bringing a pet so we can plan accordingly. We recommend bringing a leash, some treats, and a favorite toy to help keep them engaged during the session.

How Much Do Fall Mini Sessions Cost?

Our Fall Mini Sessions start at $200, which includes the session, 10-15 edited digital images, and access to props and styling advice. Additional images, prints, or products can be purchased separately. We also offer special packages if you’re interested in booking multiple sessions throughout the year.

How Do We Prepare for the Session?

• Outfit Planning: Decide on your outfits a few days before the session to ensure everything is clean and wrinkle-free.
• Get Everyone Ready: Make sure everyone is well-rested and has had a light snack beforehand, especially young children.
• Bring Essentials: Pack any personal items you might need, like hairbrushes, makeup for touch-ups, and a change of clothes for little ones, just in case.
• Arrive Early: Plan to arrive a little early to give yourself time to park, get settled, and relax before the session starts.
• Have Fun: The most important thing is to relax and enjoy the experience. I'll take care of the rest!
