This is an unpopular opinion amongst a lot of photography communities, but I LOVE MINIS. Like I LOVEEE them!
----------------
Minis allow me to see way more returning families without being away from my family every night of the week. But minis for me are done differently. Most of the time there's no themed sets & minimal props.

My shooting style is get it right in camera. I want accurate colors, sharp contrast, and proper exposure, in the moment. Post processing is for extra sparkle and magic. Enhance what's already beautiful. And be because of this, I shoot true to the lighting at the time. Which also means, my minis aren't cookie cutter. My job, bring out the YOU and fast. Before your husband or kids meltdown. As Addi said tonight, "that looks so good it could be AI!"

These 7 photos were taken at 20 minute intervals tonight. Between 5:40 & 8:00 pm.

Over 12 years of business and I'm still humbled when people return year after year! Tonight's mini mix, I was lucky enough to meet three new families, and that's extra special! Tonight a new family mom was met by one of my OG veterans. New mom said, "I cannot believe how easy that was!" Veteran mom said, " Her minis are seriously the best!"

----------------

Next chance for minis will be end of October!
Have I convinced you yet?

As much as I wish every session is booked and held under the most perfect weather conditions...unfortunately that's not real life. What I can promise is even in the hottest most humid evenings, I'll get to know you and your kiddos and I'll make magic. I can't promise perfect weather, but I can promise I'll give you my best.

Trust the process, you'll be glad you did.

Did you know any senior package can add a family add on?

Nothing comes between this Mama and her annual family session. Tacking a family add on to her baby's senior session was a no brainer!

*Still a few spots open for Seniors this coming fall!
