Convenient & fun
Mini Sessions
Mini sessions are a fun, affordable way to get an updated family portrait. They are especially perfect for young children, a quick Christmas card photo, or an updated picture for the Grandparents. You can expect to walk away with 10 edited images of your family. Mini sessions come in two sizes: ten or twenty minutes!
(Tip: for holiday pictures, I offer $150 sessions for people willing to book in September-October! Contact me to be put on this pre-booking list.)
