That all depends on which service you’re interested in. For weddings, we typically recommend 8-12 months in advance to give yourself plenty of time, however we are always open to working with shorter timelines! For portrait sessions (family, senior, engagement) we are very flexible and can be available with a 1-2 week notice, but keep in mind that our editing time is typically 1-2 weeks for portrait sessions. For our mini sessions, such as our 2025 Columbus Christmas Tree Farm Minis, we recommend booking as soon as possible as there are only a limited number of slots available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Yes! Thistle & Thornberry is extremely excited to announce that we will be offering mini sessions for the first time! Our 2025 Columbus Christmas Minis will be 15 minutes in length, and you will receive 5 professionally edited photos for digital download or print! The investment is at a discounted rate of just $175. Our books for our Christmas Minis will be opening the 1st week of October, send us an email via our contact form to be the first to know more!
