Plot twist: I am offering minis this fall.

I just don’t call them minis anymore.

Short Story Sessions are my version of mini sessions — 15 minutes, 10 images, and a little piece of your family’s story.

Some stories only take 15 minutes.

Fall dates are booking now ✨

September 1st feels like a pretty good time for this reminder. 🤎

The year isn’t over yet. You didn’t miss your chance because summer got away from you, the kids got bigger, or life never slowed down.

You don’t need to wait for a quieter season. You’re going to want to remember this one.

The missing teeth. The too-long legs. The way they still reach for your hand. The chaos and the cuddles and all the little things that are changing faster than you realize.

Four months left in 2026.

Book the dang session.

And send this to the mom who’s been saying, “we really need family photos this year.”

End of August, last week before school goes back and yet I’m still soaking up all things summer.
I am excited to be back at this location this fall. The crunchy leave, big trees & golden river bank makes it the perfect fall photo spot!
I still have a few short story times left - link in bio to book yours!

The Brown Family

So many laughs were had while we made memories along the river. 🤍

More than a mini. A story worth keeping.
Some of my favourite photos have never been posed.
They’re the burst of laughter after the tickles.
The way your toddler reaches for your hand.
The quiet hug that happens when no one thinks I’m taking the photo.
Those are the moments that become the memories.
That’s why I stopped thinking about these as “mini sessions.”

Short Story Sessions are still short and simple - but they’re designed with intention. Less pressure to smile at the camera. More space to move, play, laugh, cuddle, and simply be together.
Because years from now, I don’t think your kids will remember being asked to say “cheese.”
They’ll remember how it felt to be wrapped up in your arms.
And those are the stories worth keeping.
Fall Short Story Sessions open tomorrow, and I can’t wait to tell a few more stories this season. 🤍

🍂 They’re almost here...

Every fall I create a limited number of Short Story Sessions—a chance to slow down, play together, and document your family exactly as you are in this season.

Three fall dates, all with separate locations (including this one - which sold out super quick last year) are releasing Friday!

If you’ve been hoping for fall photos this year, keep an eye on my page. I’ll be sharing all the details (and the booking link!) very soon.
I can’t wait to photograph your family’s next little chapter. 🤎

Parents often arrive hoping their kids will cooperate.

The kids arrive wondering if there are rocks to throw, sticks to collect, puddles to splash in, or someone to race.

They’re not thinking about creating memories.

They’re simply living them.

That’s why I don’t expect children to stand still for an hour or smile on cue.

I’d much rather photograph the way they reach for your hand, chase their brother down a trail, or proudly show Grandpa the tiniest rock they’ve found.

Because those are the moments that feel the most like childhood.

And years from now, I think that’s exactly what you’ll want to remember.

One of the biggest concerns parents tell me before a session is:
“What if my child doesn’t smile?”

Or…

“What if they don’t cooperate?”

The truth is, most of the children you see in my galleries aren’t smiling at the camera the entire time.

They’re exploring.
They’re twirling.
They’re cuddling their sibling one second and running off the next.
They’re being themselves.

A successful family session isn’t about getting children to perform for the camera.

It’s about creating enough space for their personality to show up.

Because years from now, you probably won’t be thinking about whether they smiled on command.

You’ll be remembering their laugh.
The way they held their brother’s hand.
The way they scrunched up their nose when they smiled.
The way they were.

And that’s what I want to preserve.

Some sessions aren’t about perfectly posed photos.
They’re about documenting the way it felt to be together in this season.

The quiet in-between moments.
The laughter that sneaks out naturally.
The way your partner looks at you when you’re not paying attention.
Your kids climbing into your lap.
A slow walk at sunset.
A picnic that turns into play.

That’s the kind of storytelling I’m always chasing.

If you’re worried about feeling awkward in photos or you don’t know what to “do” during a session — that’s where I come in. I’ll guide you the entire time with movement, prompts, and space to simply be together so your gallery feels honest, connected, and actually like you.

If you’ve been wanting a session that feels relaxed, natural, and story-driven, I’d love to help you plan one. DM me or inquire through the link in my bio. 🤍
