Fall is around the corner!!  I am so excited to start booking my Utah and Colorado fall dates for family mini sessions. Please note that I am also offering one St. George date this year, in addition to my usual Northern Utah dates!  Family mini sessions are $350 + tax (except for the two snow/winter dates, detailed below), 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 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.

Spring 2022 Utah Mini Sessions

21 March 2022

Spring is here!!  Thank you to all of my sweet clients and friends for your kindness and patience with me as I have navigated the tremendously difficult passing of my husband this past November.  I do indeed plan to shoot again this year, on a somewhat limited basis.  Here is all of the info you need to know!  My mini sessions are $350 plus tax.

Pricing 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.  A $100 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!
