I've never had a session with adults go longer than that. I work pretty fast. Newborns, on the other hand, take FOREVER hence why I don't like doing them.

Yep - we do this too, both for the yummu light and the automatic "timer" in the sky - that is if the groom-to-be doesn't get hungry first (usually this) http://www.paradigmphotographyoc.com

Peacefield Goldmember ![]() 4,023 posts Likes: 2 Joined Jul 2008 Location: NJ More info | Jun 19, 2012 07:24 | #23 I offer both: a one hour shoot and a two hour shoot. I almost never sell the two hour. For the one hour, I shoot until I'm comfortable that I have enough of what I'd want. Sometimes that's almost exactly an hour, sometimes 1.5 (especially if it's a sunny day and I need to work with some lighting). Robert Wayne Photography

We advertise two hours, but of the three engagement shoots we've done, only one has been two hours. Our most recent one, which took place in downtown Chicago and which we'll post tonight, lasted almost four hours and included dinner and dessert. [mike and frida] photography - we shoot stuff.

I only do E-Sessions in one location... So no travel in between for me. Mike Cassara
