What to expecct:

Absolutely. Your gallery includes five photographs of your choice, with the option to purchase additional images or upgrade to the complete gallery after your session.

Can I purchase more than the five included photographs?

You’ll receive a Fall Mini planning guide, plus access to my curated Pinterest inspiration board. I’m also happy to provide an optional styling consultation if you’d like a second opinion on your outfits.

What should we wear?

Yes! Dogs are welcome at both locations. Just let me know ahead of time so I can help plan your session accordingly.

Can we bring our dog?

I closely monitor the forecast leading up to your session. If weather makes photographing outdoors impractical, we’ll move your session to the designated rain date.

What happens if it rains?

For the most variety in 15 minutes, I recommend immediate families of up to five people. Larger families are welcome, but I may recommend booking two consecutive sessions or a Signature Portrait Session depending on the group. Feel free to email me to talk through your family.

How many people can I bring?

Minis are designed for couples and immediate families. They’re also perfect for maternity portraits, updated photographs of the kids, or simply your annual family photo.

Have a question I didn’t answer here? Email me directly. I’m happy to help with scheduling, session details, or whether a Fall Mini is the right fit for what you have in mind.

I photograph families with a blend of refined portraiture and honest, documentary moments, stepping in with thoughtful direction when it helps and leaving room for personalities and relationships to unfold naturally.

As a mother myself, I know children rarely arrive ready to perform on cue. I work quickly, read personalities, and adjust as we go, whether that means giving a toddler a little movement, winning over a skeptical older child, or knowing when we already have the photograph. That experience is especially valuable in a Mini Session, where preparation and confident direction allow us to make the most of every minute together.

Mini Session dates are released to my email list first, giving you early access to booking before they’re announced publicly. For limited seasonal windows like cherry blossoms, lavender, and Christmas, that means first choice of dates and the most sought-after session times.
