No but seriously, I love minis and absolutely thrive off of the chaotic energy of them!
Sit back and relax while I Handle finding the perfect location and date
be in and out fast so your kids (and possibly partner) won't complain
get those quick photos for your holiday cards, family updates, and social media posts
HEARING THAT MINI SESSIONS ARE NO GOOD AND YOU'LL JUST GET SOME CRUMMY PHOTOS
FEELING THE PRESSURE TO HAVE PERFECT PHOTOS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY CARDS
buried in a mile–long list of possible Mini Session photographers
While full sessions are great, sometimes all you need is a few photos in a cute location, maybe with a few fun props, to send off to grandma and grandpa or share with friends.
If you want to dip your toes in to see if I'd be a good fit to become your forever family photographer, *or* if you just really love short sessions, my minis are a great option for everyone!

"I had never done a mini session before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I am so happy I decided to book with Emily. Communication was really great, we had a lot of fun and felt very comfortable. It felt like I was with one of my friends."
Current Mini Sessions
Ann arbor, MI
The peony gardens at Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor are *SO* amazing! It's the best spot to spend an evening (pro tip bring a picnic dinner for after your session) and you'll walk away with the most beautiful photos! Join me on May 30th for a 15 minute mini!
Peony Garden Mini
Ottawa Lake, MI
This is a classic for a reason! We'll head on down to Gust Flower and Produce Farm for a fun photo adventure, and it will not disappoint! Be prepared to have more fun than you'd expect on Saturday, August 8th exploring the sunflower maze for photos, and hopefully a little extra after your session!
Sunflower Field

"More Than a Mini" Sessions
Ok I know that doesn't make much sense, but just hear me out. These sessions are not quite a mini session, not quite a full session. Keep scrolling for some fun and exciting photo opportunities for your family (and to see what I mean)!
Your own Backyard
I'm so excited to bring these sessions back for 2026! Spend time in your backyard, doing the things you love, with the people you love, and I'll be there right along with you to document this precious time in your life. You'll love having these photos to look back on. Click the link below to read more about WHY this is the perfect choice for your family!
