The portrait mini-session has become a big thing this past decade. Photographers choose a day, clients come in and go with 30 minute sessions. They throw in a cute bunny or hay bale and snap quick photos. Prices are generally low, but we’ve seen some in the hundred dollar range for these sessions. Years ago, when I was primarily photographing athletes, my wife brought us to this type of session. In the end, she received one portrait she really loved and one she liked. She chose one of the pricier sessions, and in the end didn’t even walk away with a family photo she loved. We have two boys and getting them to both look at the camera with the same look can be challenging - one the photographer wasn’t up for with a “quick client turnover” approach. Since then, I added family portraits, art portraits, creative portraits and our new highly-stylized MOXIE sessions to our portfolio. Our Tampa portrait sessions provide clients with ten polished images, which are selected by YOU from a digital album. MOXIE portraits provide clients with 5 highly edited images, using our MOXIE process. Now, with old school studio or mini-session mentality, you may think you are getting the same photo with gradual changes. A better smile, not as winky, your hair tousled just right. But, the joy is that our sessions generally last 1.5 hours long to ensure you get the winning portraits and a variety of looks. Alluring, sexy, flirtatious, serious, playful, modest, sincere, thoughtful, dangerous, happy. You are multidimensional and although you may be used to the smile and click routine, we work with you to really capture your personality. There IS NO RUSH. More Than a Mini-Session
