Choosing the perfect family photo session can feel overwhelming, but it really comes down to what you're looking for! CMP offers two distinct options—a 20-Minute Mini Session and a 30-Minute Full Session—each designed with different family dynamics and goals in mind.


Let's break down the key differences so you can decide which session length will best capture your family's unique connection.

 

The 20-Minute Mini Session: Quick, Easy, and Focused


If your family thrives on efficiency, the 20-minute mini session is your ideal choice. This session is designed to be quick and painless—perfect for busy families or those just needing a few updated portraits.


Key Features of the 20-Minute Session:


* Speed and Ease: It's fast! You're in and out before little attention spans have a chance to wander.

* Less Variety of Photos: This session is focused on a few core poses and expressions. We work quickly to capture those essential smiles and group shots.

* Warming Up: If you have shy children, there is less time for them to fully warm up and show their natural personality. We move through the session quickly to maximize photo time.

* Delivery: You will receive 20 beautifully edited, high-resolution digital images chosen by the photographer.

* Location Note: This session is exclusively available at select locations on the South Shore.


The 30-Minute Full Session: Connection, Variety, and Relaxation


The 30-minute full session provides a more relaxed pace, allowing for deeper connection and a wider range of photos. If you prefer candid moments over posed shots and want the kids to feel completely comfortable, this is the session for you.


Key Features of the 30-Minute Session:


* More Connection: The extra time allows for natural interactions—hugs, laughter, and candid moments that truly showcase your family's bond.

* Variety of Poses and Photos: We have the freedom to explore more creative poses, close-ups, individual shots of the children, and different group configurations.

* Time to Warm Up: This is crucial for shy or energetic kids! The extra 10 minutes gives everyone, especially the little ones, ample time to relax and let their true personalities shine for the camera.

* Location Flexibility: You'll have more ability to move around the location of your photos, capturing different backdrops and scenery within the same session.

* Delivery: You will receive 40+ beautifully edited, high-resolution digital images, ensuring a comprehensive gallery of your family's session.
