Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the session?
20 minutes
Is 20 minutes long enough to get good family photos?
Absolutely. After 12 years of photographing clients, I am able to work quickly and efficiently so that there are a variety of poses and backgrounds for you to choose from when selecting your final images! I’ve never had an issue filing a proof gallery with 50+ amazing images within the 20 minute timeframe.
How many images are usually in the proof gallery?
Anywhere from 50-100 images
What happens if it rains?
I’m sure to keep in touch with you as we get closer to the 29th. If it’s looking like the weather won’t cooperate, we will move the mini session day to November 5, 2022. Your session time will remain the same, just on the new date. No refunds are available if you cannot make the rain-date.
What if I want the whole gallery?
If you just love the entire proof gallery and can’t narrow down your final 7 favorites, I offer the option to pay a flat rate of $115 for me to deliver the ENTIRE proof gallery to you. Given that there is anywhere from 50-100 images in the proof gallery, it’s like getting a full Deluxe Family session from Captured by CM and only paying half the price.
Recent Mini Session Client Reviews
“Christine is such a talented photographer. She makes you feel so happy and relaxed during the shoot, you almost forget she is taking pictures. And the mini session format is long enough to get quality photos, but short enough that your family won’t lose their patience during the shoot.”

— Lauren & Christian
Recent Mini Session Client Reviews
“I loved that we were able to get a variety of poses and photos in while moving quickly. It was the perfect length for a photoshoot with a small baby.”

— Dan & Abby
Recent Mini Session Client Reviews
“Christine does a wonderful job of organizing many different poses with different natural backdrops in a short amount of time. The mini-sessions are also wonderful for children because it is not a long drawn out process. They stay energetic and happy! We have done at least 2 mini-sessions and we prefer them over longer sittings.”

— Dave & Ann
Recent Mini Session Client Reviews
“Mini sessions are the perfect length of session for people wanting to get (many) great pictures of your family, but without it being so long that your kids have a complete meltdown. Christine is kind, patient, and is an excellent photographer. Our living room is full of pictures taken by her during mini sessions!”

— Katie & Adam
