Short and sweet, 20 minute mini sessions are perfect for those who only need a few pictures. Because the session is only a fraction of the time as a regular session, mini-sessions typically take place in one spot at a particular location. They are offered through out the year in a variety of settings.

One phase that I often hear is “my kids won’t last longer than 20 minutes.” I have found this to be true in extreme weather (super hot or super cold). However, based on my experience photographing hundreds of families: a lot of times younger children do better during a longer session. This is because a large part of our session time isn’t just about standing (or sitting) for photos - I need time to connect with you and your loved ones, for children (and adults) to warm up and feel comfortable, to make minor adjustments so that everyone looks their best, and sometimes we do need to take breaks to feed a hungry baby or a toddler or sooth hurt feelings between siblings.

As such: mini-sessions may not be the ideal option for everyone. If you have a family member who needs a little extra time to warm up to strangers or to feel comfortable in a new setting, I highly recommend contacting me to convert your mini-session into a regular session which would give us more time and flexibility. Alternatively, you also have the option of extending your mini sessions to include extra time to your mini session when you sign up to book.

Otherwise, as long as we are on the same page that a mini-session is a small version of a full session, with the goal of creating a handful of beautiful images, then let’s do it!

Mini-Sessions can be booked directly below without a consultation call.

If you are looking for a longer session that is specifically tailored to your needs, please look over my regular session options available here to learn more about regular and extended sessions and reach out to me for a consultation call to customize your session.
