What Is a Mini Session?
A mini session is a condensed version of a full photo session—shorter in time but still full of genuine, connected moments. In just 15–20 minutes, you can get a variety of images that are perfect for:
Holiday cards
Seasonal family updates
Gifts for grandparents
Social media updates
Decorating your home with fresh prints
While full sessions allow for outfit changes, multiple locations, and more time for kids to warm up, mini sessions are quick, affordable, and easy to fit into your schedule.
Why Fall & Holiday Minis Are So Popular
Florida may not have the same crisp autumn air as up north, but our Fall light and holiday colors are just as magical. By booking in early Fall, you’ll avoid the holiday rush and have your images ready in plenty of time for:
Custom holiday cards
Printing gifts for family
Decorating your home for the season
Plus, Fall is one of the most flattering seasons for outdoor photos. This time of year is filled with golden sunsets, softer light, and warm tones that work beautifully for any family. Plus, the weather in the North Eastern Florida area is milder and perfect for photos.
Choosing the Right Photographer for Your Mini Session

Has a style you love. This includes both types of images/poses and editing style. For example,e my style leans more natural and interactive and my editing style is bold and colorful.
Communicates clearly about timelines, pricing, and what’s included

Tips for a Great Mini Session
Want your photos to look and feel their best? Here are my top tips:
Plan your wardrobe in advance: Stick to coordinated colors, avoid busy patterns, and think about adding seasonal textures like knits or layers.
Arrive a little early : This keeps everyone relaxed and ready.
Keep expectations realistic: Minis move quickly, so we focus on connection and joy rather than posed perfection.
Trust the process: Kids will be kids, and that’s part of what makes the photos genuine.

Q: What should we wear for Fall or holiday photos in Florida?

Q: Can we bring props?
A: You’re welcome to bring small, meaningful props—like a blanket, a holiday ornament, or a favorite book to read with the kids.
Q: When should I book my holiday mini session?

Q: Can I bring my dog to a mini session?
