They're back!
It’s that time of year again when I’m super excited to announce the most popular sessions of the year. Fall and Holiday Mini Sessions! They sell out quickly so this year I’m opening up more locations and dates, including NEW LOCATIONS.
These shorter sessions are perfect for busy families who want to update their family portraits and create stunning holiday cards for their family and friends.

I can't wait to see familiar faces returning again this year and I look forward to welcoming new families to create gorgeous new memories for! In the meantime, here's a little look back at a few highlights from our Holiday Mini Sessions from last year ...
One more thing …
Even though I’m fully vaccinated, I am still observing local social distancing protocols such as wearing a mask within 6 feet of others. I will be using telephoto lenses again this year, which definitely keeps me at a distance. I want us all to have a safe and fun session so we can all enjoy the holidays this year.
I hope you enjoyed this post and the photos from last year's Mini Session Season. I'd love to help you create beautiful memories this Holiday season. Contact me to reserve your mini session spot.
