Mini Sessions

Mini Sessions are the bread and butter of Philantography’s mission to help as many people as possible. Not only are these a way to give back to your local community and a great option for ANYONE who needs quick photos, they are also an easy and cost-effective way to capture your life exactly as it is in this moment. Click the button below to view my current mini session opportunities.

Limited to 6 people per session. If you have more people, please book back to back sessions. Ideal for families with small children and/or pets.

Schools & Teams

Capturing the pride, energy, and connection that keep you going

From robotics and theater to football and marching band, every team has a story worth telling. Philantography helps bring that story to life with natural, personality-filled photos that feel like your students.

We partner with schools, PTAs, and booster programs across Southeast Michigan to create:

  • Team and individual portraits that go beyond the standard lineup

  • Real, in-the-moment coverage of games, competitions, and performances

  • Candid photos from banquets, fundraisers, and senior nights

  • Fundraising photo booths or merch collaborations that help your program give back

Our sessions are fun, simple, and stress-free for coaches and coordinators. Every gallery includes high-resolution downloads and print options, so families can easily share and celebrate the season.

Let’s highlight the heart of your school community, one photo at a time.

Community Events & Organizations

Celebrating the people and moments that make our towns feel like home

Community is where the heart is. For decades, I have been actively involved in all that makes my town amazing. I was a high school cheer coach, photographer for the local newspaper, and have volunteered at dozens of organizations. From charity walks and holiday festivals to pet adoption days and local markets, Philantography loves being part of the events that bring our communities together. We capture the laughter, connection, and kindness that remind us why local matters always.

I have worked with nonprofits and event organizers to provide:

  • Documentary event coverage that feels warm and authentic

  • On-site mini sessions and photo booths that guests actually enjoy

  • Partnership opportunities where a portion of the proceeds supports your cause

  • Social-ready images for marketing, sponsors, and community outreach

Whether you’re hosting a fundraiser, a neighborhood celebration, or a volunteer project, I’ll help you tell the story of your impact.
