Mini Sessions For Humankind-ness
-
Just Like This - April
There is something about early spring that feels honest. The light is softer. The air is shifting. Everything is beginning again, but not quite in full bloom. The perfect neutral background and early light to make this moment feel ethereal.
Just Like This is a limited portrait day designed to document your family exactly as you are right now. No milestone required. No big announcement. Just this version of your life before it quietly changes again. The missing tooth. The way they still reach for your hand. The stage that feels ordinary now but won’t last forever.
These sessions are simple and intentional. Focused on connection over perfection. Real smiles. Real movement. Real life.
Because seasons turn quickly here, and it’s easy to look back and realize you meant to capture this chapter.
Included: 15 minute session, 10 edited digital images, online gallery delivered within two weeks.
Total Investment: $300
Limited to 6 sessions. Once this date fills, it closes.Maximum of 6 guests per session spot. If you have more that 6 people, please schedule back to back sessions.

Women Who Raised Us - May
There are women in every family who hold everything together. The ones who raised us. The ones who showed up again and again. The ones whose hands we’ve held through every season.
Women Who Raised Us is a limited portrait day designed to document the generations in your life while they are still gathered together. Grandmothers and grandchildren. Mothers and daughters. Multiple generations in one frame. Or simply the woman who shaped you most.
These sessions are centered on connection over perfection. The way she laughs. The way she holds your hand. The way everyone leans in without thinking. Because seasons change quietly, and we rarely realize which year will be the one we wish we had preserved more carefully.
Included: 15 minute session, 10 edited digital images, online gallery delivered within 2 weeks
Total Investment: $325
Limited to 6 families per session date and up to 6 people per session. This date will not be repeated this season.

Next Chapter Sessions - May
The end of a school year always carries something with it.
A backpack that won’t be used again.
A hallway walked for the last time.
A senior about to leave home.
A child stepping into middle school.The Next Chapter Sessions are designed to document this transition before it becomes memory. Cap and gown welcome. Families with graduating seniors encouraged. Elementary and middle school milestones celebrated. Or simply your family as you close one season and step into another.

Summer Field Day - June
Long evenings. Warm air. Kids running ahead of you in the grass. Summer Field Day is a celebration of movement, light, and the easy joy that shows up when the schedule slows down just enough to breathe.
These sessions are relaxed and playful. Wind in their hair. Laughter that doesn’t need to be forced. Bare feet encouraged.
Perfect for families who want to document this stretch of summer before it turns into another school year, another growth spurt, another season gone.
No stiff posing. No rush. Just your people out in the open air and enjoying your time together.
Included: 15 minute session, 10 edited digital images, online gallery deliviered within two weeks.
Total investment: $325
Limited to 6 sessions. This is the only June mini date currently scheduled.
Looking for something more?
Mini sessions are designed to capture a beautiful, fleeting moment, but some stories deserve more than fifteen minutes. If you’re wanting space to slow down, change outfits, include extended family, or document something deeply personal, a full session may be the better fit. Full sessions begin at $500 and are thoughtfully built around your life as it truly is, whether that means photographing your family at home where the everyday magic lives, honoring the matriarch who anchors your generations, or documenting senior year before everything shifts. These sessions are unhurried and intentional, shaped around connection rather than a tight time slot, because some seasons call for a simple update and others deserve to be preserved with greater care. If you’re feeling pulled toward something deeper, you can explore full session details here.
Some organizations we’ve helped.
Philanthropy is the core of this business, and I am just getting started. Whether is is free photography or financial donations, a little help can go a long way. You can help make an impact on some deserving nonprofits through the purchase of a mini session to lend a hand to those in need.
