If you are reading this, give yourself the biggest hug because you made it through 2020. [INSERT CONFETTI HERE] WHAT. A. YEAR. IT. WAS. With that being said, let’s put last year on the shelf and bring focus to my favorite time of year — FALL MINI SESSIONS SIGN-UPS! I’m so excited to see returning families with their growing babies, couples and meeting new beautiful human beings this coming season.

I should also mention this. While we were in the middle of a pandemic last year, all my Fall Mini Sessions sold out. By all I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE. Promise I am not saying this as a sales pitch. So, if you see a date/location that works for you, I highly suggest booking it immediately.

Before you book a session, read my FAQ’s at the very bottom!

All mini sessions include:

• 20 Minute Session

• 20 High Resolution Edited Images

• Private Online Gallery

• Digital Download

• Personal Print Release

Weather conditions affects nature, therefore we cannot guarantee the location will look exactly as demonstrated in the example photos. We’re currently in a drought—locations may be drier than usual.

Fall Mini Session Season is Over.
See you next Fall!

• Do color coordinate your outfits by picking 2-3 colors to work with.

• Do wear solid colors that compliment each other or choose different shades of that color.

• Do wear solid, neutral or earthtone colors. These colors work best in photos: white, black, ivory, blue (soft or jean-color), soft or deep brown, mustard yellow, deep green and gray.

• Avoid wearing neon/bright colors.

• Layers are your best friend.

• Do wear shoes that are comfortable to walk in as we’ll be moving around plenty.
