​@Tiny Snaps Studio out of curiosity, do you have many clients that need to split the cost of the mini session? Most of my photography clients that offer mini sessions collect the full payment upfront, making the lead form the perfect tool for that. 
If you do need to split the payment you could create an automation that is triggered when your minisession lead form is submitted/or when the mini session is scheduled, and then have a second invoice go out maybe 24hrs before the session occurs.

Let me know if I’ve missed something

Yes, I do have many clients who prefer to pay a deposit first and then complete the remaining balance later.
I was also considering the approach you mentioned, but I just wanted to see if there might be a simpler way to set this up for mini sessions.
