Seasonal Mini Sessions in NH & MA


Mini sessions are offered throughout the year at carefully selected locations and are perfect for families looking for updated portraits in a shorter session format. From spring blooms and beach evenings to fall foliage and holiday setups, mini sessions provide an opportunity to capture beautiful memories while celebrating each season.

Because of their shorter length, mini sessions are best suited for families who are comfortable with a quick-paced experience and are looking for a handful of beautiful updated images. Availability is limited and locations vary throughout the year.

FAQ

FAQ

How many pictures will we receive?

Mini sessions include 10 professionally edited digital images of your choice from a proofing gallery, with the option to purchase additional images if you'd like more.
If you're hoping for a larger variety of photos or want to capture your family's full story without choosing favorites, a full session may be the better fit, as it includes the entire edited gallery.

Can I order prints and products from my gallery?

Yes! You can order directly from your online gallery store. Taking care of it soon after your gallery is ready can be helpful so it doesn’t end up on your “to-do” list (I totally get it as a mom!). Of course, you’re always welcome to download your images and print them wherever you like.

What’s the difference between a mini session and a regular session?

Mini sessions are short, seasonal sessions that happen only a few times a year and are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. They’re $200 for a 15-minute session and include 10 images, with additional images available to purchase if you’d like.
Regular sessions, on the other hand, are longer—about 45 minutes—and allow for a calmer, more relaxed pace. They include a full gallery, so there’s no need to pick and choose your favorites, and we have more time to capture a variety of poses, locations, and genuine moments.
While mini sessions are a fun, quick option, regular sessions are ideal if you want a more complete experience and don’t want to feel rushed.

How should we dress for our family session?

I recommend soft, neutral tones and coordinating (not matching) outfits. The goal is to keep things timeless and natural—I’m always happy to help you plan your outfits. After booking, I’ll also send over a style guide with tips and ideas to make choosing outfits even easier.

What if my child doesn’t cooperate?

That’s completely okay—and expected! I’m a mom too, and I approach every session with patience and flexibility. Some of the best moments come from letting kids be themselves.
