A sweet day of mini portrait sessions!

So this past weekend we had our very first holiday mini sessions! It went fantastic, and we could not have asked for any more beautiful weather!

I have always strayed away from mini sessions in the past – because I hate to limit my clients with time. I know that some times kids have their own agenda for the day, and some times naps and feedings just can’t wait. So usually, I show up to a portrait session, hang out with the kids for a while (so we are buddies and having fun together), then just take pictures till I feel like I have everything I want. But with mini sessions, we are on a bit of a time restraint since the next family will be showing up ready for their photo time. I did give myself a good buffer luckily…but I still very much wish I had more time to hang out with these super sweet families! But I am excited to say that we did pretty great with our limited amount of time! :)

Here are just a few of my favorites! :


First up : Shyla, Allen , Allen Jr, and Kaia




















My old friend Joe, his wife Heather and sweet Jamie:

















(and a couple of just the two if them!) :)





Then of course, our great friends Sue Ellen and Josh!



















Thanks so much to these beautiful families for coming out for a quick session! I hope we can spend lots more time together taking pictures in the future! :)
