I am 100% in Fall mode and drinking a mug of apple cider as I am typing this, BUT, it is time to look ahead to our holiday mini sessions!

If you are interested in booking any mini session, email jasonangelini@aol.com and let us know: 1) the date you are interested in, 2) if you want a 15 minute or a 25 minute mini (if both are offered for your preferred date), and 3) what time of day or range of times would work for you.  Please be sure to give us ALL of this information, and then we will get back to you with an available time slot.  This year, in order to secure your time slot, we ask for a $25 retainer.  We will send you a link to make this payment via paypal or you can mail a check.  We will not hold any time slots without the paid retainer, and it is a non-refundable, non-transferable retainer for that specific date and time.

Our mini sessions, whether 15 or 25 minutes, are best for one family.  If you have extended family members to be included in the images, we recommend booking two minis back to back.  We also recommend this for large families (like ours!)

First, for those of you who want an early start on your family pictures before the rush of the holidays, we have openings for our Fall Minis on September 28th at a farm near Riverview.  We will have autumn props set up but you do not need to use any of the props!  Feel free to come dressed for Christmas and use the open field of the farm for pictures instead of the hay and pumpkins.  Or just have the beautiful autumn picture for your Christmas card!  Our family did that last year and I loved it!  We have openings starting at 3:40pm until sunset.  These minis are $65 for 15 minutes and 5 images or $100 for 25 minutes and 10 images.  Here is a picture from a session at this location (though it does not show the grounds or our fall setup – we have not been here for fall pictures yet).

October 20th we will have “Family Holiday Minis” at Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa.  We will have a few holiday props (a banner or sign for example) if you would like to use them, but these minis are made for a nice family picture.  Time slots will be from 2-5:30pm.  The mini session fee is $75 for 15 minutes and 5 images or $100 for 25 minutes and 10 images.

The morning of November 3rd, we will have our “Cozy Christmas” minis in Riverview.  Wear your PJs and cozy up together to read a book and have some cookies and cocoa.  We have limited time slots from 8am-11am.  The mini session fee for these are $75 for 15 minutes and 5 images or $100 for 25 minutes and 10 images.

November 9th will be “Vintage Pickup Truck Christmas Minis” in Seffner.  We have very limited time slots from 3:40-5:40.  These minis will only be offered as 15-20 minute minis with 8 images for $100.  We do not have a picture of the truck set up for Christmas yet, but here is the same truck and same location from our 4th of July Minis.

It is a “Florida Christmas” with beach minis at Longboat Key on November 16th.  Time slots will be from 7am to 9am, and 3-5:25pm.  Get cozy wrapped up in a blanket while watching the waves or try to build a snowman out of sand.  We’ll have holiday props to use but of course the focus is on this beautiful location!  The mini session fee for our Florida Christmas minis are $75 for 15 minutes and 5 images or $100 for 25 minutes and 10 images.

Our Tree Farm Minis in Dade City are popular every year!  We are only offering one day for these this year and the time slots will fill up fast!  The date is November 23rd and we have times open from 10am-5:15pm.  We are will only have 20 minute time slots with 8 images and the mini session fee for these is $100.

Let It Snow minis are so much fun!  We’ll be in a field in Lithia on November 24th with times from 3pm-5:15pm.  The mini session fee is $75 for 10-15 minutes and 5 images or $100 for 20 minutes and 10 images.  Times are a bit shorter because the snow might get you a bit wet.

Finally, for those of you who are early risers, we will have just 2 time slots per morning on November 30th and December 1st for mini sessions in front of the big Christmas tree in Hyde Park.  The times will be 7:15am and 7:40am so we are there before all the holiday shoppers!  The mini session fee is $75 for 15 minutes and 5 images or $100 for 25 minutes and 10 images.

We always look forward to seeing everyone each holiday season and catching up with your families!  We’re excited for another amazing year of holiday minis!  We’ll see you all soon!
