The Ellsworth Family

Spring is here...well, almost! I am so excited for everything to start blooming. I am sick of the desert brown! When this family told me they wanted a "green" background I was very optimistic...no problem, right?! You would not believe how long it took me to find something green. It was harder than I thought but so worth it because we struck gold. I loved everything about this session. The colors were great and worked well with the green leaves. I loved working with this adorable family! They had such a fun spirit about them and they are all just gorgeous. I cannot get over their amazing eyes. Love it! The kids cracked me up because every time I asked them to hug or kiss all I would get was a disgusted face with an "eeeewwww!" My goal was to get them all hugging and kissing by the end of the session. We had a lot of fun and I can't wait for more fun spring sessions!

Fall Mini-Sessions! {East Valley Photographer, AZ}

FAQ About Mini-Sessions

What is a mini-session?

A mini session is a shortened version of my regular family portrait photography session. Basically it allows me to get a few great family shots and then spend a little time getting a few shots of just the kids, individual shots and perhaps a few candids. A Mini-session is ideal for families who simply want some updated family shots for their holiday cards, Facebook, or frames. It is not ideal for those seeking lots of great candids or the in-between-the-moment shots, those who want outfit changes or a wide range of background looks. With mini sessions, there simply is not enough time to capture a great deal of emotional images inside of 30 minutes – if you are interested in these types of images I would recommend booking a regular family session.

All mini-sessions include an online proofing gallery and full product availability.

What is the cost of a mini session?
The cost of a twenty-five minute mini session is $150. The session fee is due at the time of booking via my online storefront, and is non-refundable.

When will my CD be ready?
Your finished images on CD will be ready approximately 14 days after your session date.

How do I sign up for a mini session?
All sessions are booked first come, first serve. Please call me at 480-375-0629 or contact me by email at photos@shannonruddphotography.com to reserve your spot!
