[@janicebutler442]

[@Joymichelle]

Definitely follow Kayla she has a whole program about this now and it’s INCREDIBLE

[@KaylaBrint]

YAY!! How did it go?!

[@brietoujours8600]

2- yes planning on offering mini sessions for the first time and was so excited when I saw you were doing this livestream :)

[@Joymichelle]

Awesome Brie! Do you have a theme? You’ll love next weeks video too

[@brietoujours8600]

​@@Joymichelle Christmas mini sessions...but it's not a very specific theme like the "Santa sessions". The location logistics have been challenging so I'm trying to sort that out. Looking forward to the next video! :)

[@jlglamour9811]

2 - I am doing fall family mini sessions the weekend after thanksgiving....wish me luck

[@Joymichelle]

Good luck! Let us know how it goes! 👏👏

[@amandakitchell4528]

Thank you! Super helpful!! Just started my first mini sessions. ❤

[@Joymichelle]

You're so welcome!

[@ThaoTrangPhotography]

Yas!!! Love the interview! Do more please😆

[@Joymichelle]

Thanks!! Part two is on its way this week!

[@user-ni9rv2tr1y]

Hello! So happy to have found this and you two!:D I'm wondering, if people pay in full at booking but then cant come to their shoot, do you refund them? Or is there an understanding that the amount paid to book is not refundable?

[@Joymichelle]

Non refundable! ☺️

[@Joymichelle]

Make sure it’s in the terms very clearly because they take a spot whether they come or not

[@user-uy1gz8ys1g]

so informative, thank you!

[@Joymichelle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kimarcos1540]

2. Only did one mini but would love to do seasonal ones

[@Joymichelle]

Kim, it would he really cool to be able to offer them 3-4!x a year! Next week we’re sharing a whole pricing model video for minis - stay tuned!!!

[@KaylaBrint]

YES! I love doing swasonal session as well. They become traitions for my clients!

[@judithrita4776]

What is Kayla's socials? I tried checking the description but couldn't find her

[@Joymichelle]

She’s @kaylabrint on instagram :)

[@lisapeterson6097]

2 - I’ve done minis before. Considering dropping them. They are an administrative nightmare.

[@Joymichelle]

Lisa, What software are you using? I think that makes all the difference!

[@KaylaBrint]

I get the nightmare part! I've been there too. If there are any questions you have, feel free to ask.

[@kidjoker21]

Come back I need part 2

[@Joymichelle]

Haha thanks for letting us know! Part two is coming!

[@lexiejayyy]

2- plan to book minis once a month

[@Joymichelle]

Nice! Kayla is def a good follow then - she’s the queen of this

[@rbrewis491]

I am doing Santa sessions this year for the first time! Advertised in July (bc I love Christmas) and sent out emails and sign up a little later.. I am having trouble getting people to sign up. I am new started this year, so my client list isn’t that big yet. Any ideas on how to get more clients for the Santa sessions would be great!!🙌🏼😅 since I have already launched I’m not sure what else to do

[@Joymichelle]

Strongly recommend looking into Kayla’s fb ads and mini session course - both super high quality! She’s the best at this stuff!

[@trphotography5708]

What software for booking

[@Joymichelle]

I use Honeybook! I have a discount link here Www.joymichelle.co/honeybook

[@amanra1595]

What exactly is a mini session

[@Joymichelle]

Good question! Just a shorter portrait session

[@Libbylou-bq1xs]

I haven’t even booked one :(

[@Joymichelle]

Hey no shame in that!! We hope this helped and we have another video coming as well on this topic!

[@denolispolite9391]

1 offered before but not successfully

[@Joymichelle]

Hope you got some value from this training!! 🙌

[@czeneke]

For some reason I feel upselling is not fair for customers :/

[@JorgeRodriguez-jt5mr]

That was my first thought but a majority of business have some form of upgrade. Even school photos have options. If they want to spend the money it’s their choice. No one is forcing them to.

[@JorgeRodriguez-jt5mr]

Even fast food will ask you if you want a bigger thing of fries for a higher cost.

[@czeneke]

@@JorgeRodriguez-jt5mr For me its like getting a meal and realizing there is no potatoes or salad only steak and everything is cooked and ready to be served but I gotta make a second payment in order to have that full meal .

[@czeneke]

@@JorgeRodriguez-jt5mr for me upgrade is like getting prints or wall art of those images

[@Joymichelle]

I totally hear you! I think the key here is to be 100% clear and upfront about what is included and make sure that the base package has some full deliverable like a few files so they are actually happy if they choose to not upgrade
