You know that smell? The one that hits you when you step outside on a perfect summer evening? Fresh-cut grass, sunscreen, warm pavement after the sprinklers have run? That’s the smell of childhood summers—the kind filled with bare feet, late sunsets, and the best kind of sticky messes. And that’s exactly what we’re going to capture in this year’s Backyard Mini Sessions.

Because here’s the thing—your kids won’t always be this little. They won’t always be running through the sprinkler in their favorite too-small swimsuit or making popsicle drips into an art form. But this summer? This one is yours. And I want to help you bottle it up forever.

What Do Backyard Minis Feel Like?

☀️ Warm sunshine on your skin as your kids run full speed across the yard.
🍓 Juicy berries staining tiny fingers (and probably a T-shirt or two).
💦 That first blast of the hose on hot pavement, turning the backyard into a slip-and-slide adventure.
🌻 The smell of sunscreen and wildflowers, because summer always smells like freedom.
🎶 Laughter mixed with the hum of cicadas and a distant ice cream truck song.

This isn’t just a photo session—it’s a celebration of real-life summer. The kind with giggles, skinned knees, sticky cheeks, and backyard forts that will inevitably collapse but were totally worth it.

Why Do These Sessions Matter?

Because this is the good stuff. These aren’t stiff, posed portraits where everyone has to sit still and “smile big.” No, these are run-wild, get-messy, squeeze-your-kids-tight, belly-laugh kind of photos. They’re the kind you’ll look back on years from now and instantly feel the warmth of this exact summer day.

The Best Part?

You don’t have to go anywhere. No loading kids into the car. No stress over finding the perfect location. The perfect location is right here—where your kids already feel safe enough to be completely, unapologetically themselves.

Limited Spots Available!

Since I come to you, spots are limited and will go fast. If you want to freeze this summer in time—the way it feels, smells, and sounds—then let’s make it happen.

✨ Let’s document a summer you’ll never want to forget. ✨

Who’s in?!

love your photographer,
