2024 Mini Session Day

More than just family photos.

Our approach to family photography is real. Yes we will tell you where to stand, yes we will watch for unwanted hair elastics left on wrists and yes we will help you with your hands. But at the end of the day we want you to be yourself. We will be encouraging your personality to really come through in the photographs.

Does that sounds like something you and your family can connect with?

F.A.Q

Where and when does the Mini Session take place?
Our mini sessions will be held at Carburn Park this year, address - 67 Riverview Dr SE.

We are unable to make September 15, 2024, will you do another Mini Session day?

Mini Session Day is special and we want to keep it that way, we will only be hosting one mini session day in 2024. The Nogues Photography is now hosting an additional day for fall families session. This will be held on September 21, 2024 and there are limited spots available. To learn more about these sessions, contact hello@thenogues.ca

How much does a Mini Session cost?

Our Minis sessions this year are $449 and we have a special really bird rate of $389 until August 11 , 2024 at 6pm. The full amount is required to reserve your spot. This price includes a family of up to five people for a half hour session. Please inquire for details if you have a bigger family.

Do you offer albums from the Mini Session?

Our family Heirloom albums were specially designed with your family in mind. These mini-albums are filled with big emotions and vibrant colours, they’re the perfect way to bring your moments to life

Will we have to awkwardly pose?
We have all been there, awkwardly smiling for a family photo. Let's NOT do that, let's have fun and get real pictures. We will be there for you every step of the way - we promise.

Who gets the photos?
Everyone. The photos will be delivered in digital form for everyone in the family to have and download. Want professional prints or canvas made? No problem we can do that too.

Do I have to be a family to join Mini Session day?

Nope. Your group can be as big as five people or as small as one. Whether you are gathering some friends together or just want a nice business photo for yourself, we are flexible and happy to accommodate.

I have a gift card, how do I book?

This past year we have been selling gift cards for birthdays, Christmas and Mother’s Day. Please get in touch and we will work with you to reserve your spot. We have likely already sent out the email for booking but if you haven’t heard from us, make sure to get in touch!

I have a big family, can we still do the mini-session?

Since these sessions are quick, we recommend a maximum of five people for the session. Getting the whole family is tricky and may require more time. We recommend scheduling your whole family on a different day so we can spend more time on different combinations. Contact us to learn more about booking a whole family session.

Our dog is a part of the family, can we bring them?
Your pets are welcome to join the Mini Session, but be warned Adele will probably love them too much. Please keep in mind your time slot is 30 minutes so be sure to take that into account when booking a session.

What happens if it rains? Or snows? Or Godzilla attacks?
Snow pants are our plan B so rain or shine we plan to be ready to take your family photos. Godzilla attacks? That’s fine, we'll photoshop him out.

Can I tell my friends and family about this offer?
Absolutely, feel free to share this page with anyone you think would enjoy a session!

The Nogues’ once-a-year mini session day is happening again this year. These short and sweet half hour sessions are anything but “mini.” It’s a whole day reserved for photographing true family connections. We look forward to another year of fun and we can’t wait to be reunited with the awesome families of Calgary.
