moments framed in time
 
lavender Minis
 
There’s just something about being surrounded by a field of lavender that makes everything feel a little more magical. These minis at Purple Hill Lavender Farm are perfect for couples, families, maternity, or anyone who wants a beautiful excuse to spend an evening in the flowers. Expect gorgeous summer light, plenty of movement, and photos that feel natural, colourful, and a little bit dreamy.

sand dunes minis
 
For something a little less polished and a lot more cool. The Wasaga Beach dunes give us soft sand, tall grasses, movement, and plenty of room to play! These minis are all about effortless photos that feel candid, windswept, and just a little bit cinematic.

frequently asked questions
How do I book?
Minis get released about 1-2 months in advance. I will release a wait list a few days prior on my instagram story for anyone that would like to snag a time slot before it goes live to the public. Once they go live, you can follow the booking links above and choose the time slot on the mini you are interested in! You will automatically get an email with the contract to sign and the 50% deposit information. Bookings aren't confirmed until the deposit is made. If you are using a gift certificate you purchased on Black Friday the previous year, you can choose that in the form attached to the booking and input the gift certificate code there. Then we have some fun!
Are there travel fees or location fees?
Travel fees and location rental fees are covered for your mini! Minis allow me to shoot multiple sessions in 1 day so I am not driving back and forth for each individual session. Because of this, I have covered the cost of travel fees or location rental fees that you would normally pay on top of a session package for a regular session.
How can I make a payment?
Payments are accepted in E-transfer. They can be sent to info@rachelpaynephotography.com. Payment instructions are included in the Welcome Email you will receive once you confirm your booking! Cash can also be accepted on the day of your session for the remaining balance due on that day.
How do I receive my photos?
Photos are delivered in an online gallery where you can download them in full size, properly compressed web format as well as where you can order prints of your photos. Your proofs are delivered within 2 weeks for you to choose the photos included in your mini. Once you submit your choices, your edited photos are delivered within 2 weeks to your email in an online gallery.
