The Summer Family mini session schedule is now booking! There are two dates and both are for family photos!
There is a little variety in the types of minis I am offering this year, so make sure you sign up for the right one! Some of these dates have only 2-4 sessions offered, so make sure to book as soon as you can.
July 16th, Sunday, 6:30 PM, 7 pm, and 7:30 pm
July 25th Tuesday 10 am and 10:30 am
August 13th, Sunday, 6 pm, 6:30 pm, and 7 pm
The evening sessions are made to take place during the more shady times of day at Seward Park Upper Loop. The July 25th sessions are aimed at those who have children that are happier earlier in the day. It is also less warm earlier in the day. Seward Park is my favorite location to photograph families. The tall trees create great shade and there are so many beautiful little spots.
Mini Session Packages
To book your sessions you will be asked to make a $50 retainer. This retainer reserves your spot. You will choose your package for purchase when you see your gallery online.
The online galleries have the option to purchase both digital and physical products.
All the Digitals $350
This is for you if you just want all the digitals plain and simple. You can make your own prints, gifts, and enjoy them on all your devices.
10 Digital Images $225
This is for you if you just want your favorites (and your favorites are just 10 images). I work to create a variety of images for you to choose from.
5 Digital Images $150
enThis package is great if you have a specific use in mind, like a gift or one photo of you all together. I have to warn you though, it can be really hard to get just 5 images!
You will also have the option to purchase professional prints, canvases, and other products. This is not required, but optional and you will see the offers in your online gallery. Tax is applied to all purchases of digital and physical products. If you have questions feel free to reach out: aovena@amandaovena.com
All digital images are lightly enhanced. If you require more specific or extensive retouching you will be quoted a professional retoucher price.

FAQ
What will we do if it rains?
I keep my eye on the weather report and will be in contact before our session if it looks like it could rain. If we do have to cancel we will rebook for another same day of the week. I will also offer you a spot in the next month’s mini sessions. Fingers crossed for a beautiful June!
What if we have an emergency or my child wakes up sick?
If you have an emergency or illness please reach out ASAP. I evaluate these on a case by case basis. Generally, I will offer you a space in the next mini session.
What if you have to cancel the sessions?
If I have an emergency or illness I will be in touch ASAP. I will offer everyone another date. If you cannot make any of the other dates I will refund you retainer.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
If you need to reschedule because something comes up, you can do so 48 hours in advance and move your deposit to another date. You can cancel if you give you 48 hours advanced notice and receive a refund of your retainer. After 48 hours your retainer will used to cover the cost of your missed session.
Can I bring my dog?
These sessions do not include dogs. I do have some sessions that do. Full sessions can definitely include your dog so check out those sessions if you want to bring a furry friend. Send me a message to ask about dog sessions and check out this link to full session: Full Family Sessions
What should I wear?
I do have a What to Wear Guide and blog post, you can check them out here: https://www.amandaovena.com/?p=608
One of my family members has special needs, can you accommodate our family?
I do my best to accommodate all special needs. Since these sessions are in public parks a lot of my ability to accommodate will be dictated by the location. However, if you reach out before you book we can definitely talk about which location would work best for you and how I can accommodate your family.
If I have a zit can you retouch it?
I do retouch out temporary blemishes. My retouch philosophy is that if is something that will go away eventually (a zit, bruise, etc) and is distracting from your photo I photoshop it out. I do not do a lot of retouching so please come as you wish to be photographed. If you have a question about this please reach out before booking your session.
