Tara Swain Photography Mini Sessions
TSP is proud to be one of the first to offer some of our most popular concepts. A few of our original themes that are either becoming or have been a huge part of our brand for a few years now are our annual Unicorn and Mermaid mini sessions as well as our Sandlot minis, All Boy minis, Goodnight Moon minis, July 4th minis, Grease Monkey, Cowboy minis, Splish Splash, Winter Wonderland, Beautyshop, Laundry, Sweet Shoppe, plus many more. Some of these concepts are annual staples on our calendar each year while others are offered every 2-3 years.
Brand new unique and original concept shoots are added all the time. This page will change constantly, so be sure and check back regularly for info. Shoots are always announced through the email list. You must be signed up and select the types of sessions you would like to receive info on. A link to pay your retainer will be included in the mini session announcement emails so you will book directly from there. Mini sessions are usually limited to children, but adult and family mini shoots are also available on a limited basis throughout the year. (Fall Family minis are one of our most popular and sought after mini sessions and usually book up rather quickly.)
Below is a list of current, previously announced mini sessions. Shoots in BOLD still have openings. Contact for up to date availability as the list below may not reflect recent bookings.
Mini Session Protocol: NO time slot will be reserved until a retainer is paid in full. A retainer and a signed mini session agreement are due upon booking for any mini session. Remaining balances for mini sessions are due a minimum of 1 week PRIOR to the mini session (sometimes 2 weeks depending on the session.) An email will be sent out 2 – 2.5 weeks prior (3 weeks for some minis) to the session date and will include a reminder of your date and time slot, directions for the day-of and any last minute details. It will also serve as a reminder that the remaining balance is due. Balances can be paid by Venmo or Zelle or by PayPal with a fee or a mailed check (mailed in to the address on the invoice.) If you require your balance is paid by credit card, you may do so through PayPal with the additional fee. Balance MUST be paid by the specified due date, or the time slot will be refilled and the retainer will be forfeited. All retainers are always NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERRABLE. Remaining balances are also non-refundable/non-transferrable once paid. Retainers cannot be transferred to other mini sessions and once you are booked, dates and times cannot be changed. Sessions are subject to state sales tax.
