Christmas Mini Sessions. Updated info.

Christmas Mini Sessions, Come have cookies with Santa!

As hard as it is to believe, the holidays are right around the corner, I’m still trying to figure out where the year went, as probably most of you are too!

I’m going to be offering a limited amount of Christmas Mini sessions on November 15^th 2008.

Mini Sessions last 20-30 minutes will be in a Studio setting and will include one of two options for the price. Mini Sessions have there own price list, different then my normal pricing structure.

Option 1 is the Print Package,

(2)- 8x10

(4)- 5x7’s

(16)- Wallets

(25)- Holiday Greeting Cards

(You can add more cards in increments of 25 for an addition $1.00 per card)

Option 2 is the Digital Package,

You will receive three digital files of your choice for making your own Holiday cards, the files will be printable up to an 8x10 image.

You will have 5-7 images to choose from in a password protected gallery on my website, if you choose the Print Package a variety of greeting cards will be displayed in your gallery as well. A deposit (50%) is required to hold your spot as there will be a limited number of spots available, the remainder is due at the time of the session. The deposit is non-refundable.

After your session your child/ren can have cookies and milk with Santa and tell him what they would like for Christmas, during this time one of Santa’s Elf Helpers will take your child’s picture with Santa and print it for you as a keepsake to take home with you that day.
