The $5K Day - how to host practical and profitable mini sessions

Wednesday, September 1, 2021 – 6pm

Glasshouse Grove – 170 Linda Ln. Millersville, MD

Jill Mills, owner of Glasshouse Grove and Heartlove Photography shares her 10+ years of experience in hosting mini session events. This class will cover the her workflow from planning a creative set through editing and delivering images.  

If you’re a wedding photographer looking to create weekday income, a portrait photographer frustrated with the holiday rush or you’ve struck out in the past when you’ve offered mini sessions, this is for you! 

Here’s a bit of what we’ll cover:

  • Pricing
  • Marketing
  • Booking
  • Execution
  • Editing
  • Sales
  • Avoiding and navigating common issues

I know in the past you’ve dreaded mini sessions – they either don’t book at all or you sell out and it’s a disorganized mess.  It rains, you have last minute reschedules, you have customer service issues – you name it, I’ve been there.  Mini sessions don’t have to be a headache and they can be a profitable part of any portrait or wedding photographer’s business.  After more than a decade of perfecting my system, I’m ready to share how I plan and execute streamlined and profitable mini session days. Please join me for an evening of hands-on, concrete and practical instruction that you can implement immediately.
