My first mini-session portrait shoot a couple weeks ago was such a success, that I’ve decided to do it again. I received a few inquiries about when I would be scheduling the next date, and the new date is Saturday, May 1st! This mini-session shoot will work exactly the same as the last one. For those of you who didn’t see my original post, here again are the details:
For a session fee of only $100, you will receive a 30 min session, as well as an on-line proofing gallery, a disc of all the hi-res proof images on DVD, as well as a gallery print credit. That’s easily the best portrait deal out there right now!

This batch of session will again take place in Balboa Park. It offers a variety of backdrops and fun areas in which to shoot without having to walk very far. If you haven’t seen the images from the first session, scroll down and check out the post directly underneath this one.I will be accepting only 6 spots again for this date, so if you want a spot, be sure to SEND ME AN EMAIL soon. Some spots have already been reserved.
Here is the break down of the shooting slots, and I will again update it as they fill up:
Saturday May 1st – 3:00pm – BOOKED
Saturday May 1st – 3:30pm –
Saturday May 1st – 4:00pm –

This past Sunday I photographed 5 wonderful families in Balboa Park. It’s my latest photography package that includes a short 30 minute session for a reduced price. It also includes images and a gallery! It was such a success that I’m planning on scheduling another date very soon! If you’re interested in scheduling a spot to be photographed, SEND ME AN EMAIL! I’ll be announcing the new date in the next few days. The last one sold out pretty quick, so please contact me soon if you’re interested.
Here are a few images from the mini-session shoot on Sunday!

In honor of the launch of my BRAND NEW PORTFOLIO WEBSITE, I’ve decided to do something I’ve never done before. I’m offering new, mini portrait sessions! After you’ve headed over to my new portfolio website to bask in all it’s glory (What can I say, I’m thrilled with it!), check out the details below, and get ready to book your time slot!

In contrast to my standard family/headshot/kids portrait sessions, which start at $375, for a limited time I’m going to be scheduling an afternoon of mini-sessions. For only $100, you get a half-hour of shooting time, plus all of the other add-ons that come with my standard sessions. This is in an effort to encourage many of you who have not been able to invest in the full session. I’m lining up 6 half-hour slots on the same afternoon.
In addition to the photo session you will also receive an on-line private gallery containing all of your proof images, a disc containing ALL of those same proof images in hi-res printable format, as well as one 11 X 14 professionally retouched print of your favorite image. And as a bonus, for every other person/family you refer to me that books a time slot, you will receive a $25 gallery credit for purchasing professional prints!
These session are available to families, couples, children, or headshots. I will happily shoot as many groups or people as you’d like, as long as it’s inside of your half-hour time slot.
I’m going to schedule the first mini session date for the afternoon of Sunday, March 21st, in Balboa Park. There will only be six slots available. If I receive enough interest, I’ll open a second session date for the following Sunday. You must pay for your slot in advance, and there will be no refunds, unless I’m able to easily move you to different, unbooked time slot. Payments will only be accepted via credit card.
UPDATE: I’ve corrected my error in writing that the date was Sunday the 20th, when that Sunday is actually the 21st. Sorry! Also, I’ve pushed back the start times by one hour to take into account the later sunset, allowing for better light. 3 spots left! Thanks!
ALL BOOKED! If you’re still interested in a mini-session, please let me know and I’ll keep you informed as to when the next shoot will be scheduled!
Here’s the time slot layout:
Sunday, March 21st:
Slot 1 – 2:00pm – BOOKED
Slot 2 – 2:30pm – BOOKED
Slot 3 – 3:00pm – BOOKED
Slot 4 – 3:30pm – BOOKED
Slot 5 – 4:00pm – BOOKED
Slot 6 – 4:30pm – BOOKED
I will be updating this post and the above slot info as they begin to fill up. To book your slot, please send me an email at studio@ma5en.com with your desired slot time. They will fill up fast, so if you’re considering it, get in touch with me as soon as you can! After you contact me, I will give you all the information needed to make your payment, and prepare for your shoot.
I will also update this post if I open up the following Sunday for another block of sessions.
I hope to hear from you soon!
