What to Expect From a Mini Session

Mini sessions are one of my favorite ways to capture families in a quick, simple, and stress-free setting. If you’ve ever wondered what to expect, here’s a peek inside how they flow and why they’re such a wonderful option for updating your family photos.

A Relaxed & Quick Experience

Mini sessions are designed to be short and sweet; usually around 10–20 minutes. They’re perfect for little ones with short attention spans (and parents with busy schedules). My goal is to keep the atmosphere lighthearted and easygoing so you can truly enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Focus on Family, Not Props

While some photographers lean heavily on themed props, my approach is different. I keep the setup simple and timeless, so the spotlight stays on your family and the genuine connections between you. This ensures your images feel classic, not trendy. Photographs you’ll treasure for years to come.

Guided Flow From Start to Finish

I’ll walk you through a natural flow of poses and candid moments, balancing both classic group shots and those in-between giggles and hugs that make your family unique. You don’t need to stress about “what to do” I’ll guide you every step of the way so it feels effortless.

Creating Artwork That Lasts

The best part about mini sessions isn’t just walking away with a gallery of images, it’s creating artwork that can be proudly displayed in your home. Whether that’s a framed portrait, a canvas above the mantle, or prints for grandparents, I’ll help you select the pieces that best preserve your memories.

Why Families Love Minis

  • Quick and manageable for children

Mini sessions are more than just a few quick photos, they’re an intentional way to capture your family’s story with ease.
