Editorial Mini Sessions in Metrowest Boston (2025)

To sign up, email dianalevinephotographer@gmail.com

Editorial Mini Sessions are 15 or 30 minute sessions for headshots, branding photos, or family portraits! The looks are based off of my work as a magazine photographer—I use the same backdrops and lighting that I use when photographing magazine covers and feature stories! The sessions are tailored around your needs—they can be booked for headshots, branding photos, movement (dance, fitness, style), maternity photos, children’s portraits or family portraits!

How does it work?

Drop me an email to dianalevinephotographer@gmail.com to sign up for my mailing list. Each month, I send out an email with my list of dates for my upcoming Mini Sessions, including which color backdrop & lighting style I’ll be using for each day. Then, you can sign up by email for a 15 or 30 minute session on the day that has the backdrop you’d like to use!

Within 7 days of your Mini Session, you’ll receive a watermarked gallery of all the photos from your session. You’ll choose your favorite photos, and then I’ll do my final retouching for your selected images. I use the same touching techniques I use when photographing magazine covers and features. You can see examples at dianalevine.com.

Pricing

Each Mini Session is 15 minutes long, and the sitting fee is $100 (or $200 for a 30 minute session). Photos are ordered separately (in addition to the sitting fee). $75/each, 10 for $225 or 20 for $400. Pricing is for March 2025 only, and may change after that time period.

Should I sign up for 15 minutes or 30 minutes?

15 minutes is great for anyone who needs basic headshots and marketing photos, wearing 1 or 2 outfits. However, if you’d like to do 3 or 4 outfits, or want to spend some extra time capturing a larger variety of poses, please sign up for a 30 minute session. If you’d like to photograph with multiple backdrops, you can sign up for multiple sessions on the same day.

Who are Editorial Mini Sessions for?

Editorial Mini Sessions are for anyone who wants a magazine-style portrait! They are great for anyone looking for branding portraits, marketing photos for their personal brand, and professionals of all kinds, including business owners, fitness instructors, stylists, entrepreneurs, realtors, attorneys, medical professionals, creatives, consultants, speakers, models, actors, and more. But, you don’t need a “reason” to join for a Mini Session—anyone can join for a beautiful editorial style portrait!

Do the Mini Sessions come with hair and make up?

No, the Editorial Mini Sessions do not come with hair and make up. However, if you email me in advance, I can suggest several local hair and make up artists that I refer clients to regularly, including stylists who will come to your home for your hair and make up before the photo shoot.

Are the photos digital or prints?

The final photos that will be delivered to you are high-resolution digital images. I don’t do any printing.

Where are the studios?

I work with several studio locations in the Metrowest Boston area. When you sign up for your Mini Session, I will share the location for the dates you’re interested in. I regularly have clients join from Needham, Newton, Wellesley, Brookline, Waltham, Dover, Natick, Wayland, Sudbury, Cambridge, Arlington, Somerville, Wakefield, Reading, Cohasset, Hingham, Hopkinton, Holliston, South Boston, West Roxbury, and more.
