How to Book a Quick Candids Session: A Simple, Step-by-Step Guide

Quick, Easy, and Full of Feeling

If you’ve ever wanted updated photos but didn’t want a long, involved session—Quick Candids were made for you.

These mini sessions are short, relaxed, and designed to give you a handful of beautiful, natural images that capture a real moment in time. Whether you’re updating a family photo, need a headshot with personality, or just want a few keepsake images—this is the simplest way to make it happen.

In this post, I’ll walk you through exactly how to book a Quick Candids session, what to expect, and how to get the most out of it.

Step 1: Watch for Booking Announcements

Quick Candids are offered just a few times a year on select dates and locations. Each round of sessions is pre-scheduled and first come, first served.

How to find out when they’re available:

📧 Join the email list – Subscribers get first dibs on booking (and sessions do sell out).
📱 Follow on Instagram – I announce new dates in stories and posts.
📝 Tip: Email subscribers often get early access before sessions open to the public.

Step 2: Choose Your Date and Time

When sessions open, just head to the booking page to:

  • Check the date + location for this round of Quick Candids
  • Choose your 20-minute time slot
  • Fill out a short form with your contact info and who’s coming

It only takes a minute, and all the details are right there—no guesswork, no planning calls.

Step 3: Confirm + Pay to Reserve Your Spot

Once you’ve selected your time, you’ll be prompted to pay the session fee to secure your spot.

  • ✅ Your session is officially booked once payment is complete
  • 📩 You’ll receive a confirmation email with everything you need to know

No back-and-forth emails—no long contracts. Just pick, click, and you're in.

Step 4: Get Ready with Your Quick Candids Info Guide

After booking, I’ll send you a short prep guide that includes:

  • A simple guide to what to wear
  • Where to meet and park
  • What to expect during the session
  • How to make the most of your 20 minutes

These sessions are designed to be easy. You can just show up, be yourself, and enjoy the moment.

Step 5: Show Up, Be You, and Have Fun

On the day of your session:

  • Arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time
  • Bring anything that helps—brush, snacks for the kids, cozy layers
  • I’ll guide you with gentle prompts, zero pressure, and a lot of grace

These sessions move quickly, but they never feel rushed. You’ll walk away with a variety of candid images that feel real and joyful—even if you're only in front of the camera for 20 minutes.

Step 6: Get Your Photos!

Here’s how delivery works:

  • 🖼️ Full gallery delivered within 5–7 days via a private online link
  • 📥 Select your included downloads (with the option to purchase more)
  • 🗓️ Access the gallery for 6 months to download or order prints

💡 Tip: Be sure to take advantage of print discounts in the first 2 weeks after gallery delivery!
