Mini-Session FAQ's

What is a Mini-Session?
A mini-session is like a regular photo session, only.....mini. It's a short version of a basic photo session without the bells and whistles like clothing changes, props, etc. Just a few shots to give you a few current photos for Christmas cards, gifts, or just an update from the ones you had taken years ago....you know, the ones with the great retro look....when certain family members had that great big hair.....and when others still had hair. Mini-sessions are also great for the guys in your family who may be a little camera-resistant. They only last 20 minutes!

Where are these Mini-Sessions?
Sessions will be held at my outdoor studio near Edna, Ks. I will email directions to you when you book your session.

How many people can be in our group for a Mini- Session?
You may have from one to four people. If you have a larger group, I'd be happy to visit with you about booking a regular session.

Can we bring our own props or pets to a Mini-Session?
Absolutely. I like to make your photos as personal as possible, so feel free to bring items that represent your interests, such as musical instruments, etc. Just keep in mind that sessions are limited to 20 minutes, so pets should be well-behaved and cooperative.

How to I schedule a Mini-Session?
Mini-Sessions are booked on a first come, first served basis. Simply select your desired time from the list above and email me. Within 24 hours I will send you the details and collect your session fee. I must receive your session fee within 7 days to hold your spot.

What if I have to cancel my session?
Session fees are not refundable, except in the event that I have to cancel the session. They are transferable, however. This means that you may let someone else take your spot if you have to cancel. Just make sure to contact me and let me know.

How do I choose the images for my package?
I will notify you when I have completed basic editing of your photos. Your images will be published in a password protected, online gallery at http://www.loustinephotography.com/ for ONE WEEK. You must make your selections before your gallery expires. Sample holiday cards will also be displayed in your online gallery. You are welcome to share your gallery with family and friends if you like.

Can I purchase other items besides my package?
Of course! Not only can you purchase other items, but you may do so at a 10% discount off regular prices! This includes holiday cards, prints in all sizes, and gallery wrapped canvases. These items will be available for purchase through the shopping cart in your online gallery. You will be given a discount code at the time of your session.

What if I have more questions?
Please feel free to email me or send  me a facebook message and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Madison rocks.......

so it says on her wall. And so does the rest of her family! Is this a great looking family or what? And so great to work with. Once again Mother Nature blessed us with her cooperation and the rain stopped just in time for our session.

I love these guys!

With this family, you never know what might happen next, and that is what makes them so fun! I had a blast with them, and we were so lucky, because the rain waited until just after we finished. Perfect timing.

Fun Family

I was so excited for this shoot! It's not often I get to do a session with our own family, so this one was really special. And they are really photogenic. I had a great time with them. It would have been perfect if we hadn't had to fight the wind.

The Kinzie Family

I had the privilege of spending some time with this fun family as they gathered for their Christmas reunion. Here are a few shots of some of the little guys.





Trying to get this many toddlers to do the same thing at the same time is a little like herding cats. But they sure were cute.

Kenya and Josh

I just love couple sessions! This one was so fun - they were great to work with and so cute together!

A Special Family

It was such a privilege to get to photograph this family. They have been part of my life since before I started Kindergarten.....and believe me, that's a long time! They are a ton of fun, and we laughed through the whole shoot. I had to post a couple of the "outtakes" because they just cracked me up. I love you guys!

Our Moses Kids

How does it happen? One day they're cute little toddlers and the next thing you know, they're turning sixteen. Looking at these puts a big ole lump in my throat, cause I can not believe she has turned into this beautiful young lady. This shoot was a very special treat for me because this family is so special to us. We combined Delisa's sweet sixteen shoot with some family shots. It was a blast, and we laughed SO hard! I love you guys!!

Deb's Bunch

Here are a few highlights from this fun family shoot. These guys were awesome! We got'er done in no time at all. I only wish my own family was this organized and cooperative. (No offense guys.)

I love this family!

It was really a privilege for me to photograph this very special family. They are so fun and full of joy! It was great to spend a little time with them and capture some family moments.

I just had to include this one. I was shamelessly using the cat to try to get the attention of the little ones, so she decided she wanted in on the action too.
