Mini sessions are offered during select times of the year—spring/early summer and fall/holiday—perfect for capturing an updated family photo, milestone, or special moment. Whether it’s for a holiday card, personality-filled portraits of your kids, a baby announcement, or a birthday celebration, these sessions provide a beautiful, heartfelt way to get the photos you need with a smaller investment. You’ll enjoy the same relaxed, fun experience, tailored to your specific photography needs.
You'll select 5 favorites (plus any purchased extras) from a lightly edited gallery. I finalize edits, then deliver your gallery for downloads, prints, and more!
Your session will be quick, easy, and most importantly, relaxed & fun!
You'll sign your contract and receive a guide with session details and outfit suggestions.
Choose your mini session from my available seasonal options and book your 15-minute time slot.
You'll receive a lightly edited proofing gallery within 2-3 weeks (often sooner for holiday minis or if my schedule allows). From there, you’ll select your 5 included images and have the option to purchase additional ones. Once selections are made, final edits will be completed within one week—with priority given to time-sensitive galleries like holiday sessions.
Minis are perfect for capturing a specific moment—an updated family photo, birthday milestone, holiday card, or special announcement. They’re also great for young kids with shorter attention spans, though little ones often take time to warm up. Many of the best, most personality-filled images happen later in a full session, so if you prefer a more relaxed experience with extra time, a full session may be the better fit.
Kids? Absolutely! Dogs? Usually—unless the session is in a studio that doesn’t allow pets. Extended family? Unfortunately, no. Mini sessions are designed for immediate families and do not allow enough time to properly capture and edit large groups. If you’re looking for a session that includes extended family, I recommend booking a full extended family session.
Mini sessions move quickly, so there typically isn’t enough time for outfit changes. I recommend prioritizing your favorite look for your session. That said, you’re welcome to bring an extra outfit—if time allows, or if I have an opening before or after your session, I’ll be happy to accommodate a quick change.
To secure your session, the full session fee is due at booking. After booking, you'll receive a contract to complete and a personalized styling guide with outfit recommendations and details on what to expect before, during, and after your session—including gallery delivery.
Mini sessions are offered seasonally, typically a few times in the spring/early summer and again in the fall for outdoor and holiday-themed sessions. Availability is limited, so booking early is recommended!
