Should I Book a Mini Session or a Full Brand Shoot?
Investing in a brand session, regardless if it’s a mini or a full photoshoot, can bring so much value to you and your business. Brand photos allow you to emotionally appeal to your audience and create a connection, inspire and motivate you to show up in your business in new ways, and establish you as a knowledgeable leader in your industry. I am confident that you will benefit from any kind of brand session you decide to do, but choosing between a mini session and a full brand shoot truly depends on your current needs and goals for your brand. Here are a few things to consider when making your decision.
Mini Session Overview
I only offer mini session days twice a year, usually in the late fall and early spring time frames. Mini session days are when I host back to back mini sessions, about 20 minute each, for several hours at a single location. My favorite place to host mini sessions is here in Sioux Falls at White Space Studio. It is the perfect place that allows me to create bright and crisp photos with a lot of variety! Mini sessions are a great way to get a feel for what a brand session could be like and are perfect for someone who has a lower budget or isn’t quite ready for a full brand photoshoot just yet. It’s a bit of an appetizer if you will! Here are a few more details.
20-Minute Session
Perfect if you need a quick and impactful brand update
Cost-effective for those needing immediate visual content
Studio location only
Less customization and planning involved
Minimum of 15 images with an option to purchase more
Price point is ~$300 or less
Full Session Overview
A full brand session can be booked at any time! When you hire me for your full brand photoshoot, you can expect a fully customized and comprehensive brand experience. Together, we go through a detailed planning process that helps us pin down your goals and desired aesthetic for the photos. Because of the preparation involved in a full brand shoot, it is best that these are booked about 4-6 weeks in advanced. This allows us plenty of time to work together and collaborate to put together your dream photoshoot. A full brand shoot is also going to be a big investment, and it can definitely be scary! However, you are very likely to make back your investment once you begin using your photos which is totally worth it! Let alone the focused attention that I am able to give you and your brand. Here are a few more details.
