Why You Need a Summer Mini Session Questionnaire
Mini sessions move fast, and the last thing you want is to waste time gathering info on the day of the shoot. A well-designed
summer mini session questionnaire helps you streamline your workflow, prep efficiently, and deliver a better experience for both you and your clients.
With Iris Works, it’s easy to set up automated questionnaires and have all your client info organized and ready to go.
What to Include in Your Summer Mini Session Questionnaire
To make the most of your limited time with each client, include these essential questions in your Iris Works form:
1. Basic Contact Information
Make sure you’re capturing the full name, email address, and phone number of your client. Even if you already have it, confirm that it’s still accurate.
2. Who’s Being Photographed?
Ask for the names and ages of all session participants. This is especially helpful for families or sessions with young kids—so you can plan poses and pacing accordingly.
3. Preferred Style or Look
Give clients a chance to share their vision. Whether it’s light and airy, bold and colorful, or something specific like wildflowers or a rustic look—this helps you align on expectations.
4. Any Special Requests or Considerations?
This open-ended field can surface important info like a child’s shyness, accessibility needs, or a sentimental item they’re bringing. It's a simple way to make your clients feel heard and cared for.
5. Outfit Plans
Encourage clients to share what they’re planning to wear. This gives you an opportunity to suggest coordinating colors or remind them of the setting’s vibe (e.g., field, beach, garden).
6. Emergency Contact (Optional)
For sessions involving children or extended families, this is a good precaution.
