It’s that time of the year I like to call the SENIOR MINI SESSION PORTRAIT SEASON. There’s so much going on in a high school seniors’ life and so many reasons to take pics, that booking mini sessions for senior picture photographers is literally the EASIEST way to make extra income right now.

Here’s 5 quick and easy senior mini session ideas you can start marketing today:

01. Prom Mini Sessions: seniors have been waiting for this event all year long and there’s no better way to memorialize the night’s festivities than with a professional photographer. Sell these sessions by explaining that they’re a great way to take the stress off the parents so that they can be present in the moment while getting the perfect shots of every single detail. Prom minis are also a great way to book groups of the very target market you want to book for future senior sessions. 

02. College Gear Minis: whether it’s college t-shirts, banners, or flags, your seniors will jump at the chance of getting pro pics of their college spirit. You can market these minis by talking about how great these pics will be for their grad cards & by offering bestie group sessions with all their different colleges t-shirts on display.
 

03. Cap & Gown Mini Shoots: since graduation is right around the corner, all your seniors now have their caps and gowns for the big day. Why not offer quick minis to capture them in the very representation of that big day?! These kinds of sessions could also be a quick and easy add on to other mini session offerings like spring minis, bestie minis, or college gear minis.

04. Family Mini Sessions: these minis are a great upsell option for your current Class of 2022 clients. Most kiddos are about to fly the nest and what better opportunity to get those last family portraits than right now, when everyone is at home during the summer? This option is a great way to upsell canvas collections too!

05. Wild Flower Mini Shoots: spring is about to show off all it has to offer with fields full of gorgeous flowers and botanical beauty and most seniors dream of having their pics taken in those fields, so why not give it to them? This is a great option for those fall and winter seniors who want a little extra color in some updated pics!
