I have an old wooden box that looks like a pirate chest. All my client’s kids know that I have this- and they look forward to getting a treat from my pirate treasure chest at the end of their session. I remind them about their treat at the beginning of their mini session that if they smile pretty they get treasure. Works like a charm. I always fill it with good stuff- larger candy bars and non food items (small toys) etc… I have chocolate coins and fake jewels in their too for effect. Kids love it
Thank you for sharing your knowlesge and tips and techniques with us. I am a newbie at mini sessions, I want to do one in a month, your video gave me courage to go ahead and do it.
This is my first full year as a "business" and I have been using freelance apps as a way to build my clientele... I didn't have any bites on my first mini session announcement in October, how would you recommend getting the word out? Thank you for your amazing videos!! ✌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Last year at an after thanksgiving bfair I met Santa, took down his number and hired him for my Santa Minis this year. The last two years I have done vintage truck holiday minis and wanted to do something different.
Limit to immediate family, or consider extra time if they are bringing extended family. Good point! I think each family of the extended group should be considered a mini-session. Do you use a scheduling app?
Selling Holiday Cards is something I can't wrap my head around. How do you offer certain cards for them to choose from? I know labs have them but how do you offer them up for clients to choose what they want?
We don’t offer them at this time. I know Shootproof (our gallery delivery site) is going to be offering them for us to have our clients order right from their galleries.
Thanks for tuning in today! Drop a comment or question below. We love hearing from you.

I LOVE THIS!! Thanks for sharing
Awesome tip about toe warmers. Definitely remembering that for outdoor fall/winter sessions
I'm going to use the Google Forms tip! Let's see how it goes. This is my first time doing Christmas Mini Sessions
Great reminder to ask the ages of the kids. Thanks ❤

Hey! We don’t use any sort of app to schedule. Google forms is a free and easy way to have people sign up too.
