Step 1: Go To Your Projects Overview Page
Go to the side menu and click on Mini-Sessions (under Studio Manager).
You can also go to the Studio Manager Dashboard’s Projects tab and choose Mini-Session from the drop-down menu.
From the Projects Overview page, click on the + New button in the upper corner of the list panel on the left.
Step 2: Create a Mini-Session
From the Add Calender Item box, click on the + New Mini-Session button.
When the Add/Edit Mini Session box appears:
Type in a name for your mini-session in the Name field.
Click on the Save Mini-Session button.
The new mini session will be added to your Projects Overview page.
Step 3: Edit a Mini-Session’s Dates or Location
Go to the projects list on the left click on the mini-session you want to edit.
When the mini-session loads, click on the Edit Dates & Location button in the upper right corner of the Sessions section.
From the Edit Mini-Sessions Dates & Locations box, go to the Date + Time section.
To add a new date with more sessions, click on the Add a Date button below your current date.
To edit a current date, click on the current date in blue text that you want to edit (e.g. Oct 16, 2025).
From there, you can edit the following fields.
Date: Type in or choose the date for the mini-session.
# Sessions: Type in the number of total sessions you want to offer (e.g., 5).
In the Schedule section, you can set a start time and the session duration and intermission time in minutes.
Start Time: Select a number from the hour and minute drop-down lists to set the mini-session's start time.
Duration: Type in a number for the session's length in minutes, e.g., 30 for thirty minutes, 60 for an hour, etc.
Intermission: Type in a number for the intermission time (e.g., 10 for ten minutes) or leave the field blank for no intermission.
If your mini-session with six 20-minute sessions starts at 12 PM, it will go from 12PM - 2PM with no intermissions. With 10 minute intermissions, it will go from 12PM to 3PM.
Add Breaks (optional): Includes break times during a mini-session. You can add a custom break for each mini-session.
Location (optional): Optional field for where the mini-sessions will take place.
Click on the Same Start Time toggle switch if you want to have all your sessions start at the same time.
For example, if you’re holding a class at 8am with 10 session slots (for 10 people total), you may want to use this option instead.
Once you’ve made your changes, click on the Save Date button.
Step 4: Edit Your Mini-Session Details & Other Settings (Optional)
Click on the mini-session you want to edit in the scrollable list on the left.
When the mini-session loads on the right side of the screen, click on the Edit Details button in the upper right corner.
When the Add/Edit Mini-Session box appears, you can edit a number of different settings.
The Details section allows you to change your mini-session’s name, description, and more.
Name: Name your job type (e.g., Headshot Photography or Event Photography)
Description (optional): Add more descriptions for the job type in this field if you want to.
Job Type: Choose which Job Type your Mini-Session should be classified as from the drop-down list.
Published: By default, your mini-session will be published, meaning it’s visible on your Booking Site. Turn off the Publish toggle switch to hide your mini-session.
Click on the Save Mini-Session button when you’re done making changes.
Note: The other settings for your Mini-Session are discussed in this Job Types article, starting at the Pricing and Payment section.
