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, with maybe a few fun props to send off to grandma and grandpa to fill their cup. If you just want to dip your toes in to see if I'd be a good fit to become your forever family photographer, or if you only really love mini sessions anyways, these sessions are a great option for everyone!
Thankfully for you, you just found your DREAM MINIS to capture your memories.
I run my minis very similarly to the way I run my regular sessions, just shorter and the location and time are chosen by me! It's the perfect way for you to get a taste of what it is that I do, test the waters to see if you want to book a full session with me, or just to have a quick and easy session to document your family's current season of life.
So, in addition to digital files, you will receive a print credit with each session that you can use in my gallery store! This makes it super easy to actually print out your photos instead of them ending up on a hard drive somewhere. It's that extra nudge we all need sometimes.
There's more to my mini sessions than meets the eye!
The PROCESS
$200 upgrade - all digitals - $100 Print Credit
If you decide you want all of the photos in your gallery (usually around 15 with minis) you can upgrade to Collection C. This includes all digital files and $100 in print credit.
Collection C
$100 upgrade - 5 digitals - $50 Print Credit
Once your photos have been delivered to you after the session you can upgrade to Collection B if you want more digitals and print credit. This includes 5 digital downloads and $50 in print credit.
Collection B
most popular
$250 - 3 Digitals - $25 Print Credit
To book you will pay a $150 non-refundable booking fee to secure your spot. The week of the session the remaining $100 is due. This collection includes 3 digital downloads and $25 in print credit to use on keepsakes in my gallery store.

"Emily is very kind and wonderful at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love how we weren’t posed and instead was able to capture moments of my family as if the camera wasn’t there!"
