Q: I'm a mom and I do not feel great in my body right now. I feel like it should wait a bit to lose the 20 pounds that I want to

A: You. Are. Beautiful. Now and forever! First of all, I consider myself a master at posing so I will always put you in a position that flatters your body and makes you look your best. I will also recommend outfits that photograph best for any body size and shape. Second, in 5 years from now you will regret not having taken them when your kids were little, a lot more than you will regret what you perceive will be uncomfortable and vulnerable for you. I promise you will feel comfortable in your own skin during the session and for decades looking back at your beautiful images!


Q: How long is your turnaround time? I need to get my Christmas cards out!

A: 2 weeks max! And you will have instant access to download your images right then and there to have printed wherever you desire


Q: Do I get print releases? And where do you recommend printing my images?

A: Yes, you will have permission to print your images wherever your heart desires! I will also give you great info about where to print for things like canvases, photos, and cards.


Q: My kids are absolute terrors, I'm not sure they will cooperate.

A: I have been a photographer for over 9 years working with the toughest kids known to man. No joke. This experience has served me well in also shooting 100+ family sessions with children of all ages, abilities, and levels of cooperation. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve and will also give you some helpful tips in the planning and preparation process. Don't worry about it, I'm not worried. 


Q: I'm not sure that 7 images will be enough, how do I know if a mini session is right for me?

A: The reason 7 images totally work for those who book a mini session is because 1) most families only need one image for their Christmas card, 2) I love the look when 5 canvases are printed and hung (one in the middle and two on each side), it makes deciding what and how to hang SO much easier, and 3) it is way more doable for those on a budget who just can't pay for a full session every year but who still want to savor and capture their sweet family as it is today!

If you are thinking, "I really want enough images to fill an album for my coffee table" then maybe you should consider booking a full session with me! 


Q: Are my images going to look super stiff and posed?

A: Heck no! Posing is important, but even more important is "directing". I will give you specific things to DO that look great, not necessarily exact positions to stand in.


Q: What if it rains?

A: I will have a couple backup days blocked out on my calendar to reschedule if needed be. I will not let you miss out on your session, I promise!

My mini sessions are perfect for busy families who want to capture beautiful seasonal photos without the time commitment of a full session. In just 15 minutes, I’ll capture a variety of images that reflect your family’s connection and the joy of the season.
