Think of Outdoor Mini Sessions as the “express lane” of family photography. They’re quick, efficient, and get you in and out without the time commitment of a full session. But here’s the catch: they only work if your family works well with that format.
Here’s what’s included:
-
A 15-minute outdoor session (yes, your toddler might handle that—unless they don’t warm up to strangers. Stranger danger is real, and I’ve had kids cry the entire 15 minutes. If that sounds like your child, a signature session is hands-down the better fit. You know your kid).
-
Styling support to help your family look polished and cohesive. You’ll get my Looks Book guide, but unlike signature sessions, wardrobe access isn’t included here.
-
A curated online gallery with the best of the best images
-
5 high-resolution digital images to download.
-
A $75 print credit toward heirloom-quality products.
-
The option to upgrade to your full gallery if you just can’t narrow it down (spoiler: most families don’t).
Mini sessions are appealing because they’re shorter and less expensive—but sometimes, the investment in a longer session is worth it. If you want time for your kids to warm up, outfit changes, or access to my client wardrobe, a signature session will give you a much better experience.
