what to expect from your mini session

A mom and dad hold their sun on the beach for lifestyle mini sessions in Seattle.

What to expect from a mini session with me.

So many of my clients are planners. From outfits to activities for their sessions, they love to check in with me to be sure it’s all going to go according to plan! I may not consider myself a planner, but I am a HUGE fan of communication.

So, for those of you who feel good knowing what to expect when arriving at your mini session rather than flying by the seat of your pants, below is a flexible schedule of our mini session.

My mini sessions are 40 minutes long. Within that 40 minutes, we make sure to get some posed, family portraits, a handful of lifestyle portraits, as well as free play/family hangs.

10 minutes of posed, more traditional family portraits - during this time I will pose you and give you direction
10 minutes of lifestyle portraits - these are playful and candid. I will give you some direction here, but mostly prompts to make you the happiest, loviest version of yourselves together.
20 minutes of free play - this is where I work my documentary photography magic. These photos are more creative and artful. I follow your family around while you play together, documenting your love and connection with your favorites.

I do my photos a little differently than most photographers, trying to get the most authentic, artful images of your family in the shortest amount of time. This system has worked for me for over a decade! I would love to answer any questions for you, anytime. Just hit that button below to connect.
