As I write this post, it is a ridiculously H.O.T. 116 heat index in Memphis, TN! I know it is hard to believe it, but the cooler weather of fall and the fun of the holidays are fast approaching us! I’ve been staying cool these last few days thinking about Christmas and planning out the 1:17 Photography yearly tradition and customer favorite… Mini Sessions! Â I know you must think I am crazy tossing out holiday thoughts right now; however, I am determined to help you and I avoid the hectic times surrounding the holidays this year by planning ahead.
This year, we will be doing Mini Sessions in a new and exciting way. We will have 3 different days with 3 different locations from which to choose! On September 18th, our session will take place at my home in my backyard. My home, the spot of our traditional mini sessions, has a newly landscaped backyard that should be lovely in September for those last few warm days of the year . The first October location, on October 2nd, Â is going to take place at Arlington Town Square, a new favorite location of mine and perfect for the rustic look. They’ve got some great red benches and rocking chairs that’d be soo cute on a Christmas card. And the last session, on October 23rd, will be in a local cotton field. I took my own children’s portraits for our 2009 Christmas card in a cotton field last year and just knew I needed to give this opportunity to my clients, too. Additionally, you have three different options to choose from for your session price. All three of these options include a $125 print credit! And, for the first time ever, some options come with a digital image for printing your own photographs as well as an option that includes our fabulous new press-printed card stock two-sided cards. Really exciting stuff!
How is a Mini Session different from a regular session? Well, it is only about 15-20 minutes and you receive approximately 10 fully edited custom proof images from which to choose. These sessions are perfect for those that don’t want a full session, want someone else to handle that dreaded “Christmas Card photo”, needs gifts for the grandparents, or just wants a few quick , simple, and lovely portraits of their favorite kiddo! However, with the Mini Session you still get the time and talent and expertise of the photographer (that’s me!), an online proof gallery and a slideshow set to music, access to our full line of products, and the 1:17 customer service that we pride ourselves on!
See below for all the exciting details! Need to schedule your session time? Simply contact jodie@117photography.com with your desired date and she’ll be happy to help you complete the process. Again, these sessions are always a customer favorite so if you see an idea that sounds like something you’d like, don’t delay!
Not sure which location you’d prefer? Check back tomorrow for a post with samples images from each location!
I’m so excited! Hope to see you this fall for a Mini Session!
