important things to know when building your session package
choosing the session length, image number, & keepsakes that work best for your story.
(2 Min Read)
Before you submit your session form, here’s a quick informational read to help you build a session package that feels right for you without overthinking every option. There is no wrong combination here. The goal is simply to match your session to the experience you’re envisioning.
Start by thinking about how many final images you realistically want from your session.
5 to 15 Images
Best for those wanting a smaller, curated collection of favorites.
15 to 35 Images
A balanced gallery with some variety and flexibility.
35 to 50 Images
Ideal for fuller storytelling galleries, albums, or larger collections.
You do not need to decide this perfectly right now. This is simply meant to give you an informed starting point.
Next, choose your session length based on how much variety you want during the session itself.
45 Minutes
Best for one outfit and one location.
60 Minutes
Great for one to two outfits with more posing and scenery variation.
90 Minutes
Allows for a more relaxed pace with 2 to 3 outfits and a larger variety of backgrounds.
2 Hours
Best for maximum variety, multiple outfits, and a second location.
As a general rule, I recommend at least 30 minutes per outfit and about 1 hour per location so nothing feels rushed.
You’ll also see optional heirloom product choices, including albums, books, wall art, prints, and announcement cards. These are simply different ways to preserve and display your images depending on what matters most to you. More detailed descriptions can be found on the heirlooms page, and keep in mind that nothing selected on your session builder is 100% permanent. You can always adjust your selections later.
The goal of this session builder is to make your booking process feel simple, transparent, and easy to navigate.
If you’re unsure between options, that’s completely normal. Most decisions become much clearer once we talk through your vision together. For now, just select what feels most accurate to you, and I’ll be in touch shortly.
