Petite Milestone Sessions

Introducing: Petite Milestone Sessions!

      

Designed specifically for parents who have done maternity and/or newborn sessions with Grinning Weasel Photography. 

Frankly, I don't love mini sessions.  I've tried them and I can admit I just plain don't like them.  There's something about expecting people, especially little people to perform under a time constraint that just doesn't sit well with me.  While the price may be less than a full session, I'm left feeling disappointed that my clients didn't get the best quality I can provide. 


BUT I wanted to be able to offer a cost effective solution to clients who have been so wonderful to me and just want a few shots, not a full gallery to catch some of those moments between birth and 1 year when their wee one is growing and changing SO quickly!!!

SO I have come up with a solution........ 

Petite Milestone Sessions!


For me the session part, the actual shooting is fun!  I love it.  I could care less if it takes 30 min or 3 hours.  Sitting in front of the computer editing & loading galleries is where the REAL work begins and where the majority of my time is spent, and therefore the cost of your session.  

Petite Milestone Sessions are different in that the session itself will not be limited in time any more than my usual sessions.  They may take 45min...they may take 2hrs.  The difference is that your gallery will be limited to 12-15 images rather than the usual 30ish. 
 Your baby isn't feeling their best and needs an extra feed/change or just a few extra minutes?  No problem!
 
Unlike typical mini-sessions you're not scheduled back to back with the next party showing up any minute and all that pressure of getting your child to cooperate.  Take your time & I'll keep shooting until I feel I have enough shots that I can be proud of to fill your gallery!

Petite Milestone Sessions cannot be used for newborn sessions.

These sessions are my special thank you to clients who have seen me for their newborn session or purchased a maternity/newborn combo package.

Updated January 27:  First 5 sessions have been booked pending payment.  Still worth it to get on the list!  If payment has not been received in 7 days you could be next on the list!  June is already fully booked.  July is currently about 75% full.  Aug-Oct are typically my busiest months and I expect they will fill up fast!

Bellies Babies and Mountains

   Have I mentioned I LOVE doing maternity sessions?  I don't think there's much more beautiful than pregnant mamas or newborn babies, so to combine that with our amazing scenery is just bliss for me!

   I had a great time with this sweet couple.  She's a Squamish original (you mean people lived here before the 90's? lol) And you may recognize dad from the Locavore Food Truck over at On the Farm Country Market. How lucky are we to have such fantastic community businesses to support?!  Aside from all the pregnant mamas, new babies and amazing landscape, shopping local may be one of the best parts of living here!
