I get it - life is busy.  Every year, more is added to your calendar and people are harder to nail down for family photos.  But you still want them!

A mini session is a great way to get what you want without a big time commitment.  And you'd be surprised what we can get in 15 minutes!  Definitely a variety of family posed and candid shots and a headshot of each kid for gifting to grandparents or replacing school photos.  And maybe a shot of mom & dad?

These locations are decided on by me based on time of year, available color and variety.  Which means all you need to do is pick the date & location that works best for you and show up with your smiles - and maybe your dog? 


it's all about

short & sweet

Studio mini sessions are my answer to Minnesota winters when the outdoors become less hospitable to photo subjects wearing cute outfits.  I always say, the best photos happen when everyone is comfortable, fed and warm - that makes happy pictures!  

These sessions are a little longer and offer a few more downloads in the package.  I reserve the studio and send you the address so, just like with outdoor mini sessions, you just need to show up and smile for the camera!  

Both of these session yield a gallery of at least 40+ images so you'll have pleny of options to choose from.  Each package includes downloads of everything in your gallery so no hard decisions required here - download anything and everything!

Just looking for 'a few good pics for the holiday card'?  This short and sweet 15 minute session is your solution.  Mini sessions are offered a few times a year at locations set by me so the only decision you need to make is what to wear.  You'll receive an edited gallery and the package includes 10 digital downloads.

At some point, it just gets too COLD for even 15 minutes outside and that's when I move indoors to a studio - ah, cozy. Studio mini sessions are 20 minutes in a studio with a variety of background options.  You'll receive an edited gallery and the package includes 15 digital downloads.

Package cost: $300

Package cost: $350

* Note that if you have young children who need time to warm up or settle down, I strongly recommend booking a family session to allow more time.
