2024 Children's Valentine Petite Sessions
We will have 2 fabulous backdrops and lots of fun props.
Specialized holiday sets are created and set up in the studio for this special event.
Sessions are for children 6 months and sitting and up to 12 years old (or 5ft tall as taller person may not fit well in our set). Children must be able to sit unassisted or assisted by a sibling.
Session is for up to 3 children. If you have more than 3 children I recommend booking 2 back to back sessions. This will give you additional time and portraits.
Each time slot allows for 15 min for portraits which is plenty time to get lots of fabulous portraits. My final galleries normally have 10-20 images for you to choose from.
Sets are designed for small children on a smaller scale. Older children are welcome however the portraits may be 1/2 body as opposed to full body to fit properly in the set. These are for children only as adults are to large to fit the set proportionately.

If the client is more than 5 min late all fees will be forfeited and the session cancelled. Sessions are scheduled back to back so I will not be able to accommodate late clients as I must stay on schedule.

E. Re-shoots / Refunds
Due to the specialized nature of these sessions re-shoots and/or refunds will not be available.
