There are so many different session options that we offer here at Collin M. Smith Portrait Photography, and we would love to help you determine which would be best for you! \u00a0Maybe you are just starting your family and are interested in sessions over the next several years that will document your family as it grows. \u00a0Maybe your kids are older and you really just need that one time session to document the stage of life that you are in before everyone starts changing and even moving on. \u00a0Or maybe your needs are even simpler than that, and you glanced at your snaggle-tooth six year old this morning and decided “You know what? \u00a0This kid is CUTE.” \u00a0And that needs to be documented. \u00a0Whatever the need, we have you covered. \u00a0Here’s a list of what we offer. \u00a0Take some time to read over the options, and then shoot us an email! \u00a0We’d love to help you decide what will work best for your family!<\/p>\n

Single Session Option:<\/strong> \u00a0This option is perfect for the family who is interested in a one time session. \u00a0Your kids are at perfect ages and you know that this portrait will not be updated for many years. \u00a0Typically, the family that has this session done has waited five years or more since the last time they had a session, has all of their children out of the “baby” stage, and will not do this session again for at least five more years, and possibly longer. \u00a0We love to do sessions like these in a location that is meaningful to your family. \u00a0Where do you live? \u00a0Where do you play? \u00a0Is there a beautiful piece of property in your family? \u00a0A favorite vacation spot? \u00a0These are all questions that we will help you explore when you contact us about booking this session. \u00a0This session will include a consultation appointment where we will guide you through location and clothing choices to help your portrait become one that perfectly portrays your family at this stage!<\/p>\n

The First Year Baby Plan:<\/strong> Another very popular option! \u00a0Babies change SO FAST over that first year of life. \u00a0It’s incredible to stop and think about just how much change occurs in twelve months, actually. \u00a0This portrait plan documents all of those stages for you! \u00a0Starting with a newborn session, then moving on to a tummy time session, then a sitting up session and ending with the first birthday, this plan provides you with a beautiful collection of portraits to document all of that growth and change. \u00a0Each session is fully customized to your needs, and sessions may be done in the studio and portrait garden or at a location of your choice. \u00a0For instance, doing a sitting up session at a local park that your family frequents or a birthday session at an old family farm is something we welcome with this plan!<\/p>\n

Studio Mini Session:<\/strong> \u00a0These are brand new and we are so excited about them! \u00a0This session is for the person that wants a quick in and out option to document the stage of life that their child is in, but doesn’t need the full on customization that our portrait plans offer. \u00a0These sessions are only done in our studio and portrait garden, and are limited to 45 minutes of time with the exception of the newborn mini. \u00a0You are free to use any of the indoor or outdoor locations that we offer here at our studio. \u00a0Clothing is limited to two outfits. \u00a0For the newborn mini session (which lasts one hour), your baby will stay diapered and fully wrapped throughout the session. \u00a0We will have a set number of set ups ready to go, and with the exception of using one of your blankets or quilts in a set up there is no customization. \u00a0You will, however, have plenty of beautiful, simple portraits of your little one to choose from! \u00a0The mini session can be done for any age of child. \u00a0So that cute little snaggle tooth six year old that I mentioned in the introduction? \u00a0This session is perfect for that!<\/p>\n

Limited Editions:<\/strong> We offer various Limited Editions throughout the year. \u00a0These are twenty minute sessions that are centered around a particular theme. \u00a0Sessions are scheduled back to back so it is imperative that you show up for your session on time. \u00a0Some examples of Limited Editions that we offer are Christmas, Easter, Girly Girls, Boys Will Be Boys, and our Family Limited Edition. \u00a0These are on specific days throughout the year, and the very best way to know when they are coming is to get on our email list. \u00a0These sessions are fast, high energy, and FUN! \u00a0And you never know when we’re going to throw a new theme in!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lightning FAST Minis:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes we get a wild hair and want to try something completely off the wall, so we throw out an option for a highly themed FAST session! \u00a0Typically an appointment is not needed for these (although depending on the location that’s not always the case!) and sometimes you will have a bit of a wait for your session. \u00a0The two most popular of these types of sessions are our July 4th American Flag Fundraiser ands our Santa Fundraiser. \u00a0But like I said, you never know when a new option will show up! \u00a0These sessions are $35 and include a digital image that you are free to download and print.<\/p>\n
