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

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."

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!

Golden Hour Mini

If you're anything like me you LOVE visiting apple orchards in the fall. Just think of it, crisp air, the sweet smell of donuts wafting through the air, and a beautiful orchard filled with apples. Join me this year at the BEST apple orchard around, Alber Orchard and Cider Mill!

Golden hour at West Park can't be beat, and the amazing spots for photos are beautiful! Join me for my final fall mini of 2025 at one of the best kept secrets in Ann Arbor, and bonus, there's a fun playground for the kiddos to burn off some steam if they come in hot!
Fall Colors West Park

If you've never been to Parker Mill County Park in Ann Arbor in the fall you haven't experienced fall! It's a popular spot, but mostly for bikers and runners, so you get a lot of space to yourself to be surrounded by the beauty of the yellow of fall.
