“The entire session felt natural and fun, never forced or awkward."

- Helen, Mom of 2

Mini sessions are perfect for families who want beautiful images without a full session. These are short, but never rushed. I guide you gently, create space for connection, and photograph honest moments with care.

They are ideal for:
  • Seasonal family updates
  • Parents with full schedules
  • Little ones with short attention spans
These sessions are playful, relaxed, and meaningful. We will create images that feel like your family.

What to Expect During Your Mini Session

Deciding between a Mini or Full Session?

Consider a full session if:

  • You want to choose your location
  • You would love more time and a slower pace
  • You want a more robust gallery with a variety of pairings
  • You are looking for a mix of posed and candid images

Full sessions allow more room for movement, rest, and emotion. They are perfect for families who want time to fully settle in and let the experience unfold. If your little one needs a break, we pause. If a moment takes longer, we stay with it. These sessions are built around your family’s rhythm.
