St. John's First Communion

Mini Sessions

Exclusive to St. John's parish, are our 10-minute mini-sessions available to the families receiving their First Communions.

​

We have many clients within the parish who we have been working with for a while, and we're excited to not only see some familiar faces but to make some new friends as well!

What We're Offering

For $50 you will receive a 10-minute private mini-session which you may use for portraits, detail pictures, and/or family pictures. Your online private gallery will be "unlocked", which means full-resolution non-watermarked images are all included in your package.

Scheduling your Mini Session

Mini sessions will be done before and after all masses. You must sign up in advance to participate in the mini-sessions.

 

Mini sessions will be 10 minutes, with a 5-minute buffer between sessions. We ask that you please make sure you have your entire group ready by the start of your session. If you do not have your entire group, we will start with whoever you do have and go from there.

​

How It Works

To register for a mini-session timeslot, please follow the link below for the date of your child's mass. Once there, you will have the option to book with one of the two photographers listed. If one photographer does not have an available timeslot that works for your schedule, please check the other photographer's availability. DO NOT SWITCH DATES. If there are no available time slots that work for you, please be respectful to all the families and don't book a time for the other date. If you cannot find an available session, please contact us for micro or private session options.

​

​

Choose your preferred photographer below, and follow the directions to select your date and preferred time and process your entire registration immediately! You'll be walked through selecting the time block, approving your order, filling out a contact form, signing your contract, and making your payment. You'll then be all set!

 

You will then immediately receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive the confirmation email, and it is not in your spam folder, please email us at info@lovelensesphotography.com.

INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TIMESLOTS (Read: please don't skip over this part):

​

  • You must finalize all 4 steps until you reach the CONFIRMATION page, or you could lose your timeslot. If you are paying via Zelle or Venmo, please follow the directions on the page for submitting a payment promise or your timeslot will not be booked and can be taken by another client. We will not be held responsible for unprocessed bookings.

​​

  • Your mini-session is 10 minutes. Because of this, we ask you to please be extra respectful of others and your assigned time.

​

  • We cannot make up for lost time due to being late for your time slot. We are on a tight timeline and cannot accommodate late arrivals. Payments will not be refunded for late/missed timeslots.

​

  • Due to the tight timeline restrictions, we cannot accommodate multiple extended family group portraits. The more people that are involved, the more time it will take out of your 10-minute window.

​

  • Your children will be directed to the altar to take a group photo when the mass is over. If you have an "after mass" timeslot, please immediately head to the meeting location, even if it is not the contracted time yet so we can get everyone processed and off to their parties in a timely manner. The "after mass" sessions are usually scheduled with a buffer if mass runs late, but we can start as early as you all get there. Regardless of the start time, the session will only be 10 minutes long.

​

  • If mass runs later than anticipated, all "after mass" timeslots will be shifted accordingly. You will not lose time for your session if Father speaks longer than planned :-)

​

  • The designated meeting spot will be near the Statue of Mary, outside the church, between the church and rectory, if it does not rain. If it rains, please meet in the walkway between the church and the parish center. Please be there just before your time slot so we don't interrupt your session. 

​

 

After the Sessions are Over

When your gallery is ready, an email will be sent to you with the link and password information.
