But I'm here to help you...

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.

"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!"
