Fall 2021 Mini Sessions in Utah and Colorado

01 September 2021

Hello friends!!  It's that time again.  I'm so excited to announce my fall session dates for 2021!  I will be out visiting my hometown in Colorado for a few dates in October, so I will include those in this list!  I plan to offer just a few dates of snowy/holiday sessions in late November & early December, so stay tuned for those ones to come.  Bring on all the fall colors and beautiful family sessions!

Family mini sessions are $350 + tax, and include a 30-45 minute session at one of the dates and locations listed below.  Mini sessions include 20 high resolution digital images of your choice, and the option to add on more edited images, if desired, at $10 per image.  All sessions now also include a complimentary high resolution download of your proofing gallery!  I over-shoot, and over-deliver!  You will have tons of extra images to have as a fun keepsake of your session.

Summer 2021 Utah Family Mini Sessions

14 May 2021

Summer is just around the corner!!  I can't wait to be back up in the canyons shooting in these incredible mountain backdrops... the blooming wildflowers, lavender farms, lush green mountains, and gorgeous white salt flats.  I have compiled the list of dates and times that I will be doing family mini sessions.  I am excited to offer some of my top favorite locations once again, for Utah 2021 summer mini sessions!  

Family mini sessions are $350 + tax, and include a 30-45 minute session at one of the dates and locations listed below.  Some locations require an additional travel or permit fee, which will be listed below if that applies.  Mini sessions include 20 high resolution digital images of your choice, and the option to add on more edited images, if desired, at $10 per image.  All sessions now also include a complimentary high resolution download of your proofing gallery!  I over-shoot, and over-deliver!  You will have tons of extra images to have as a fun keepsake of your session.  More session info about mini sessions may be found on my pricing page here on my website.

If you desire to book any of these evenings as a full session to have a little more length of session time for your family (no back to back bookings with another family)- for $450 plus tax, please feel free to reach out and let me know and I would be happy to accommodate when it is possible!

Spring 2021 Utah Mini Sessions

27 March 2021

Spring is here!!  I'm so excited to get out and do photos again as the weather warms up!  Thank you to everyone for waiting patiently to book spring dates.  Here is all of the info you need to know!  My mini session option can be used for immediate families, seniors, maternity, and child sessions.

Pricing is $350 plus tax, which includes a 30-45 minute session, booked back to back with one other client.  Your session includes 20 edited high resolution digital images of your choice, as well as the complimentary download of ALL of your proofing gallery images in high resolution!  This is something new I introduced this year, and I am excited to make this a part of my standard session process!  A $50 retainer fee is due upon booking to reserve your date, and the remaining balance may be paid within a week prior to the session.  If you desire a full session (longer session length, and only your family per evening) you may always do so, and I can give you a list of dates I am available.

Please email me or call/text me for inquiries!  My email is melaniericephotography@gmail.com, and my cell number is 801-865-7089.  I'm excited for all of my upcoming spring sessions!
