2024 Mini Sessions in Ottawa are here!

I’m excited to announce the first round of 2024 North Saplings Photography Mini Sessions in Ottawa! And with this new year comes a BIG change (or should I say, experiment) that I’ve decided to implement for these seasonal sessions! I hope you’ll like it as much as I do. 2024 is a year of experiments I told myself. Well, it’s time to live up to that promise!

Drum Rolls, Please!!! 🥁

This year, I’m throwing the old rulebook out the window: NO MORE CHOOSING JUST A FEW OF YOUR FAVOURITES! That’s right, you heard me! When you book a Mini Session with me in 2024, you’ll get access to a final gallery with all the best images (10+) from our time together. Why? Because you deserve it, and because I’ve been listening:

  • Your feedback has been invaluable, and it’s inspired me to try a different approach this year.
  • My style and editing process have become more streamlined, making it easier to provide you with a full gallery of memories.
  • I want your gallery to tell a complete story, and for that, you NEED all the images.
  • Early sneak peeks are now a thing because I can’t wait for you to see the magic we’ve created!
  • Saving you from the “torture” of having to pick just a few favourites. Now, you get to keep them all!!!!

As I approach my second year running this business full-time, I realize it’s time to let go of my fear of change and shake things up. Experimenting with different workflows is how I’ll find out what works best for you. And yes, this means full galleries for Full Sessions as well!

Heads Up: 🚨 this change will be in effect for sessions booked from March to December 2024. Keep in mind, pricing and the structure of sessions might evolve without prior notice as I continue to fine-tune the offerings.

Mark Your Calendars: 📅 Bookings for the below listed types of sessions are happening NOW! There will be no additional weekend dates added if these sell out, so don’t snooze on grabbing one of the remaining HIGHLY requested weekend dates. For those of you waiting for the Fall & Winter Sessions, keep an eye out around July – that’s likely when I’ll announce those dates. But for a full overview of all the Seasonal/Themed (a.k.a. Mini Sessions) can be found HERE.  

Mini Session 101:

Unlike the full sessions where we dive deep into your story, locations, and have a lot of time to play around, Mini Sessions are short and sweet. They last about 15 minutes, making them perfect for anyone with a busy schedule or little ones with short attention spans.

Why go Mini?

  • Efficiency: Got a packed schedule? No problem! Mini sessions are short and sweet, fitting into your busy life.
  • Affordability: Mini sessions is a smaller investment while still delivering stunning results.
  • Seasonal Flair: Perfect for capturing each season or holiday without the need for an extensive shoot.
  • Full Galleries, No Fuss: Say goodbye to the stress of picking and choosing. You get a curated gallery of your best shots, all included.

But why not always go Mini?

Mini Sessions are a great way to capture a snapshot in time, but they’re just the appetizer to the rich, fulfilling experience of a Full Session. For those seeking a deeper dive into personal storytelling, Full Sessions offer an unmatched level of customization and detail. It’s not just about spending more time with the camera; it’s about creating a space where your unique story can unfold naturally, without the constraints of a shorter session.

In a Full Session, we can explore different locations that resonate with your personal vision, whether that’s the comfort of your home, a meaningful spot in the city, or a natural landscape. This isn’t just about finding a pretty background; it’s about selecting an environment that can amplify your story and emotions.

In addition, Full Sessions allow us the opportunity to collaborate on your wardrobe, ensuring that your outfits not only complement the setting but also reflect your individual style. This level of detail extends to every aspect of the session, from the selection of props that hold personal significance to the careful planning of each touchpoint of your experience.

But perhaps the most compelling reason to choose a Full Session is the depth of connection it fosters. Without the rush, we have the luxury to relax into the experience, allowing for spontaneous moments of joy, tenderness, and authenticity to emerge. These sessions are designed to get into the nitty-gritty of your vision, bringing it to life with a richness and complexity that mini sessions simply can’t accommodate.

In essence, if you’re looking for a photography experience that’s as unique as you are, where every detail is crafted with care and every image tells a part of your story, then a Full Session with North Saplings Photography is undoubtedly your best choice. It’s more than a photoshoot; it’s a journey we embark on together to creatively capture the essence of your life’s most cherished moments.

I can’t wait to capture your stories again this year or to meet some of you for the first time! Thank you for your continuous support and enthusiasm. It’s your stories, smiles, and moments that inspire me every day!!!! And if you have any questions for me at all – send me an email to hello@northsaplingsphotography.com. 🙂

Love, Ina
