FAQ
 
How many images do I get?
I typically deliver full galleries for mini sessions because the in between moments are often the most special. In 2026, I will be trialing select lower priced mini sessions that include a set number of images, with the option to upgrade to the full gallery.
What is a preventable distraction?
Preventable distractions are items that could be removed or addressed before the session, such as hair ties, smart watches, tan lines, pocket items, and sunglass lines. I do edit things that cannot be prevented, including stray hairs, small blemishes, and the occasional booger.
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
I promise a 2 week turnaround of images (unless otherwise specified). I always strive to deliver faster than my guarantee however, I keep my guarantee at 2 weeks is to allow myself grace during peak seasons of photography and life as a mom.
WEATHER, ILLNESSES & LIFE
Weather, illness, and unexpected events can happen. For inclement weather, we will decide together whether to reschedule or proceed. My signature glow requires sun, so if that look matters to you, rescheduling is recommended. If illness or life surprises arise, rescheduling may be possible, though availability can be limited.
Can I Bring Grandparets?
These sessions are best suited for one family unit. You are welcome to include grandparents, but doing so will shift the focus of the session and limit the range and variety of images.
These dates dont work for, can I just book a mini on my own?
Mini sessions run on specific dates to keep them accessible and easy for everyone. If the listed dates are not a fit, a full session or hosting your own mini session day gives you the freedom to choose timing, location, and pace.
What is included in editing mini sessions?
Editing includes professional color and exposure adjustments, cropping, and light image refinement in my signature style. Small details like stray hairs or blemishes are included, and I am happy to adjust anything minor I may have missed. Preventable distractions and more detailed edits, including face or smile swaps, are available for $25 per image.
My Kids Are Slow To Warm Up, is a mini a good choice?
Because mini sessions are fast paced, they are not always the best fit for children who need extra time to settle in. I do everything I can to help kids and grownups feel comfortable, but a mini session does not allow for extended warm up time. A full session is often a better option for a slower, more relaxed experience.
We want multiple sessions this year. How does that work?
Session packages are available and perfect for families planning multiple sessions. Packages can be used for mini sessions, full sessions, or a mix of both. Package holders receive priority booking for all mini sessions, including Santa. Full details here.
BEFORE YOU BOOK:
IS A MINI SESSION RIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY?
Mini sessions are a beautifully efficient way to capture seasonal memories. They’re ideal for families who love a short, polished experience and are comfortable moving quickly. You’ll receive a curated mix of posed portraits and natural, connected moments, my signature style.
Because minis are fast-paced, they may not be the best fit for children who need extra time to warm up or for families who prefer a slower, more relaxed flow. In those cases, a custom session offers the space and ease to create exactly what you’re envisioning.
Mini sessions are scheduled & edited in a streamlined, consistent way. If you’d like retouching beyond what’s included in your gallery, I offer it for a small fee. If you're hoping for a more detailed edit, a custom session is the way to go.
If you’re unsure which option suits your family best, I’m always happy to guide you toward the experience that will feel effortless, enjoyable, and truly you.
