Are you ready to take your photography business to the next level? One way to do that is by offering birthday mini sessions to your clients. While there are many different mini session themes to choose from, birthday minis offer a unique opportunity for recurring business and additional package options.

As a photographer, you know how important it is to capture special moments in a child’s life. Parents always want to have great pictures of their kids at every age and every year. And what better way to do that than with a birthday mini session? These sessions allow you to capture beautiful, candid shots of your clients’ little ones as they blow out the candles and make a wish.

But the benefits of offering birthday mini sessions go beyond just capturing precious memories. These sessions also provide an opportunity for recurring business from existing clients. And, by offering certain packages with birthday party invitations included in the fee, you can increase your earnings and provide a valuable service to your clients.

Imagine being able to offer your clients a birthday mini session of 30 to 60 minutes for a small fee, and then up your earnings by offering personalized photo invitations along with your print options. The invitations get handed out to other kids and parents will love the personalized touch and could potentially want the same for their child’s birthday. This is a great way to get word of mouth advertising for your business.

In addition to the recurring business and additional package options, birthday mini sessions also offer a unique opportunity for marketing. Personalized photo invitations are a great way to showcase your work and attract new clients. Plus, by offering these sessions on a regular basis, you’ll be able to build a portfolio of birthday mini session images that you can use to promote your business.

Now, you might be wondering how to go about offering birthday mini sessions to your clients. The first step is to come up with a plan. Consider the type of shots you want to capture, the equipment you’ll need, and the packages you’ll offer. You’ll also want to think about how you’ll promote the sessions to your existing clients and how you’ll attract new clients.

Once you have a plan in place, it’s time to start promoting your birthday mini sessions. Use your website, social media, and email marketing to let your clients know about the sessions and the packages you’re offering. And don’t forget to include information about the personalized photo invitations that you’ll be offering as well.

When it comes time to shoot the sessions, make sure you have all the equipment you need and that you’re prepared to capture the shots you’ve planned. Be sure to take plenty of candid shots as well as posed shots. And don’t forget to have fun! These sessions should be a celebration of your clients’ little ones and a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills as a photographer.
