Join the waitlist
  • I will monitor the weather the week leading up to the mini-session date. If the forecast calls for a 70% chance of rain, we’ll reschedule to our backup date. Same time and same place.

  • Unfortunately, due to the nature of mini-sessions, they are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled to another date aside from the backup date, but I have the following options if you can’t make it:

    1) You can give/sell your spot to another family.

    2) I’m happy to move your spot to the next mini-session date. I usually host one date in the Spring and one in the Fall. Depending on our travel schedule, I will occasionally add a Summer mini-session

    3) It can be applied as partial credit towards a regular session (please note, regular sessions start with a session fee of $250 plus tax and collections start at $550 plus tax)

    4) If I’m able to re-book your spot, I’m happy to refund you.

    Drop me an email as soon as you know that you can’t make it.

  • You can purchase additional photos a la carte. Choose all the images you want and your cart total will be for the additional images you are purchasing. You can purchase a single image ($50), sets of 3 (3 for $90) or the entire gallery ($375).

  • You will receive an email from me 4-6 weeks after your mini session. Your online gallery will be automatically set up so that you can easily download the 5 images included in the mini session. Additional images available for purchase

  • I recommend keeping it to your immediate family due to our short shoot window.

    If you’d like to invite your extended family, you’re welcome to, but please know that with only 10 minutes, my focus will be on getting one (1) great group shot.
