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

If I had to guess, you're probably...

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!

Thankfully for you, you just found your DREAM MINI photographer.
