FAQs

• What is a mini session?
  Mini sessions are short photography sessions held in Raleigh and surrounding areas in Wake County at carefully chosen outdoor locations. You’ll get all the fun and connection of a full session — just in a shorter time frame that’s perfect for little kids (and busy parents).

• Where do sessions take place?
  I host mini sessions at some of the most beautiful spots in Fuquay-Varina and nearby areas like Apex, Holly Springs, Cary, and Raleigh, including local parks, fields, and charming hidden gems. When you book, you’ll get the details for the exact location and tips to help you prepare.

• How much does it cost?
  Mini sessions are $175 and include 10-15 minutes of camera time and 5 fully retouched, high-resolution digital images of your choice from a gallery of approximately 20-30+ images. Additional images or the full gallery can be purchased after your session — no pressure or commitment required!

• What should we wear?
  I recommend coordinating (not matching) outfits with complementary colors. I’ll link a tips & style guide page after you book to make planning easy.

• Can we bring pets?
  Yes — if the location allows, furry family members are always welcome!

The moments with your family are fleeting — but your photos will last a lifetime. Mini sessions are a simple, fun way to capture them. Even if you’re worried your kids won’t sit still, I promise we’ll keep it short, fun, and low stress. If you’ve been thinking about updated family photos, now is the perfect time to grab your spot before they’re gone!
