Fall Mini Sessions in Raleigh and Fuquay-Varina (Part I)

This year marked my very first round of mini sessions, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Cozy sweaters, crunchy leaves, golden light…the perfect recipe for the fall photos we all look forward to each year. These minis were short and sweet, which is exactly why I love them. Kids stay happy, parents stay relaxed, and we still capture the most important things: connection, laughter, movement, and the little in-between moments that feel so much like fall in North Carolina. From Fuquay’s open fields to Raleigh’s natural parks, every location brought something different. Some sessions were full of energy with toddlers ready to explore, while others were slower and snuggly as families leaned into the cozy season. All of them were meaningful.

To every family who stepped in front of my camera this fall — thank you! Thank you for trusting me with your memories, for showing up with your people, and for letting me document your story during one of the most beautiful times of the year. I’m already excited to do it again next fall.

Here are a few favorites from this year’s Raleigh and Fuquay-Varina fall mini sessions.
