Let’s be real—getting family photos with little kids can feel like an Olympic sport. Between outfit wrangling, snack bribing, and the ever-so-predictable meltdown, the idea of a full hour-long session might sound… exhausting. But don’t worry—I’ve got the perfect solution: a mini session with little kids!

I am so glad that I was able to photograph the beautiful Terry Family! These boys are just so sweet and we had such a great time in the beautiful poppies this past summer.

What’s a Mini Session?

A mini session is exactly what it sounds like—a short and sweet version of a full photography session. Typically lasting 15-20 minutes, mini sessions are quick, fun, and designed to capture beautiful family moments without the stress of a long shoot.

Why Mini Sessions Are a Game-Changer for Families with Young Kids

Short & Sweet

Little kids have tiny attention spans, and honestly, 15-20 minutes is often all they need (or can handle!). In that short time, we can capture adorable giggles, sweet snuggles, and those precious smiles before anyone gets too over it.

Fun, Not Forced

Because mini sessions are quick and playful, kids don’t have time to get bored. We focus on movement, candid moments, and letting them just be kids. No stiff poses—just genuine interactions and joy!

Less Pressure, Less Prep

A full family session can feel overwhelming—coordinating outfits, keeping kids entertained, making sure no one spills juice on their shirt before you even get to the shoot (we’ve all been there!). But a mini session? It’s low-pressure, quick, and easy—so you get the beautiful photos without the stress.

Budget-Friendly

Mini sessions are a more affordable option than a full session, which means you can capture updated family photos more often—perfect for growing families!

What Kind of Photos Can You Expect?

Even in just 15-20 minutes, we can capture:
Beautiful family portraits (the ones grandma will frame ASAP!)
Candid moments of your kids being their silly, adorable selves
Sweet sibling shots (yes, even if they usually refuse to stand next to each other!)
Individual child portraits—because they’re growing up way too fast!

If you’ve been putting off family photos because “it’s just too much,” a mini session is your answer! Short, sweet, and stress-free—so you can get the beautiful memories without the chaos.
