Mini Sessions
Holiday Mini session in San Jose, CA.
I’m so excited to announce that Mini Sessions 2025 are officially open for booking! These short & sweet sessions are the perfect way to update your family photos, capture your growing bump, celebrate milestones, or simply freeze time for a little while.
Mini Sessions are quick, fun, and stress-free — just enough time to create beautiful, natural images without the commitment of a full session. They’re designed for busy families who still want gorgeous professional photos and an unforgettable experience. The good thing about minis is that I’ll have time slots for different families, which allows me to offer an affordable option for my clients.
During the 2025 fall - winter, I’ll offer minis in different locations in September, October, and November. Spots are limited and sold out fast.
