Mini Session Day

An all-inclusive mini session day

to create a gallery of curated images in time for your Holiday campaigns & 2025 marketing goals.

The beauty of a mini session is it is a branding photo experience that takes all the planning OFF your plate! Dates & locations are already arranged.

We are busy business owners, and sometimes getting bogged down in all the details is just too much. With Mini Session days, everything is packaged in a nice neat bow, so you don't have to worry about the details.

Shot List

Personal Branding Sessions give you a custom gallery of images to use on your website & in your social media.

Your Shot List

What photos should you have included in your new personal branding gallery? We want to have these key images:

Profile: different from a traditional portrait or headshot, a profile pic is that tight cropped head and shoulders, with a lifestyle flair. The perfectly inviting photo you can use as a guest for a blog, podcast or workshop. The one you use for your social media profiles or website about page.
Power Pose: I am woman, hear me roar. 3/4 to full body or seated and leaning in. State your authority with intentional eye contact.
Getting $h!t Done: working away as you would behind the scenes of your business. This is a great opportunity to bring in your props.
Relaxed Casual: show your softer side, scrolling through your phone, reading your favourite book (fiction or professional is up to you), with your favourite beverage (I always recommend your cup/glass be filled, so be sure to bring that too)
Hero Banner: not every photo should be centred. Often times we want to be off to the side allowing for text to be added over our photo. This is popular in the hero banner of your website (that first photo that spans across the screen when you open a website). If you are a Canva user you may also like this for your marketing messages on social media banners and newsletters.

Mix n match your favourites to build your personal gallery. You will have the option to buy more!

Enhanced high res Images are delivered at 2048 pixels for digital marketing.

Kind Words from a previous Mini Session days

I wanted to update my brand photos to create consistency throughout my online spaces. Allison was great at capturing my personality and I had numerous pose options. I now have cohesiveness and I love the positive feedback it's generated with my audience.

Nicole Gallant, Marketing & Sales Strategist, Eastern Passage

"My session with Allison produced some of my all-time favourite branded photos. I am excited to have new photos that reflect my brand and are more personal than stock photos. I was so excited to share my photos from the session that I had replaced three photos on my website within 24 hours of receiving them!"

Anita Kirkbride, Social Media Expert & Co-Founder Social Media Day Halifax, Bedford

Allison is easy to work with. She’s comfortable in her role and knows how to make you smile perfectly, I felt comfortable the entire time. From our first call to actually shooting together it was relaxing and easy.

Thanks for teaching me how to pose properly so I could look my best and not awkward!!

You gotta work with her!

Erika Dowell, Bookkeeper, Dartmouth

Allison was a joy to work with! I already knew that she knew her stuff but I was still wowed by her professionalism before and during the shoot. She provided a practical resource to help prepare prior to the shoot that was brilliant. I was looking forward to a fun afternoon, rather than a session of feeling stiff and awkward. All our smiles were genuine!
