Booking Instructions
-
Click the time you would like to book. Available slots are in BLUE. (Booked slots are GRAY). That will open up an email to me with the time/date in the subject.

Send the email with your family names, ages of children and any other pertinent info you would like to add.
-
If available, I will send you the online booking agreement within 4-12 hours (if overnight). Once opened, booking agreements automatically expire after 24 hours because fall mini sessions are in such high demand and there will be a waiting list for the slot you requested.

To lock in your date & time, you will need to complete the agreement and pay the deposit within 24 hours. Then its yours! From there I will email you specific location and meeting details within 2 weeks of your session.
If no sessions are available please join the waiting list at the bottom of this page and I will email the list as slots become available. (They typically do!)
Please note sometimes slots book so fast it can take me an hour or two to update this page.

- Frequently Asked Questions -
What can we expect from a Mini Session?
Mini sessions with Jennifer Bowen Photography are quick portrait sessions (20-25 minutes) and are offered only in the spring or fall on specific dates at specific times in a set location. They are ideal for:
• Smaller families (less than 6 people only - larger groups click here)
• Families with young children who wont sit long
• Families with teens
• Maternity portraits
• Couples or newly engaged who just want a few great portraits
They are not really ideal for families wanting a more dedicated lifestyle / candid experience or for those with rather shy children who need more time and personal attention to warm up. Those sessions typically benefit from a full lifestyle session.
Cancellation Policy & Final Payments
The deposit to hold your session ($125) is non-refundable because we turn away others who want that time & date. If you need to reschedule, your deposit can be applied towards a future portrait booking if used within 3 months of cancellation. Final payment for your session is due within 48 hours of your session. If you cancel within 48 hours of your session, all monies paid are non-refundable.
I receive ALL the final high res images with my session right?
The cost of the Mini Session package includes five (5) high res files to keep, not all of the images from your session. However, you can opt to buy all of them if you wish. You will see that option in the agreement at the time of booking for a discounted rate, or you can decide after you see the images for the pricing below.
-
Additional high res files (watermark free since you are buying the copyrights to use them as you wish) are $25 each, or 5 for $100 inside your gallery store.
-
If you buy the whole gallery at the time of booking, the cost is discounted to $150 for the entire set. ($100 savings)
What is the turnaround time for our proofs?
We typically upload the edited proof images to your online gallery within 5-7 days and email you when they are ready to view. You choose your 5 freebies and download them. When you open them on your computer, the watermark will be gone, and the image file will be a full size, high res JPEG. The same applies to any other images you choose to add to your shopping cart and purchase.
Physical prints (like 5x7's) take about 2-3 days to print and ship from our professional lab.
Your sessions are all booked, do you have a waiting list?
Yes! After the sessions are booked up, Jennifer places all booking requests onto a waiting list. There are cancellations every single year since things do pop up last minute for families, and when a spot opens up, Jennifer emails the waiting list for an opportunity to book the session.
