What is included in a mini session?

Each mini session includes approximately 15 minutes of photography at a seasonal location, a private online gallery, and five professionally edited, high-resolution digital images of your choice.

Mini sessions are perfect for holiday cards, gifts, milestone photos, or simply updating your family portraits.

How many images will I see?

Your gallery will typically include approximately 15–25 carefully selected images featuring a mix of posed portraits and candid moments.

The exact number may vary based on group size, participation, and the ages of the children.

How do I choose my five included images?

Once your gallery is ready, you will receive a private link where you can review the images and select your five favorites.

Additional images and a full-gallery upgrade will also be available for purchase.

Are the gallery previews edited?

All gallery images will receive my signature color and style. Your selected digital images will be delivered as high-resolution files without watermarks.

Can I purchase additional images?

Yes! Your session includes five digital images, but you will have the option to purchase individual additional images or upgrade to the complete gallery.

Pricing will be displayed within your online gallery.

Can we order prints?

Yes. Professional-quality prints and products may be ordered directly through your online gallery and shipped to your home.

Where do mini sessions take place?

Mini-session locations vary by season and will generally be located within Fairfield County, Connecticut, or the surrounding area.

Exact dates, locations, and session details will be announced with each mini-session release. Join the email list below to receive early booking access.

What happens if it rains?

When rain or unsafe weather is expected, a rescheduled date or other available option will be provided.

Sessions will generally continue as planned during cloudy, cool, or mildly windy weather. Overcast skies often create beautiful, flattering light for portraits.

How do I book?

When booking opens, you will be able to choose an available date and time, sign the session agreement, and pay the full session fee online.

Your appointment is not reserved until the agreement and payment have both been completed.

What if we arrive late?

Mini sessions are scheduled closely together and cannot be extended for late arrivals. Your session will still end at its originally scheduled time.

Please plan to arrive approximately 10 minutes early so everyone has time to get settled.

What if we need to reschedule?

Because mini sessions are offered on limited dates and in consecutive time slots, rescheduling is only available when another appointment is open during the same mini-session event.

If another time is unavailable, the cancellation policy will apply.

What if we need to cancel?

Cancellations made 7 or more calendar days before the session are eligible for a full refund.

Cancellations made 3 to 6 calendar days before the session are eligible for a 50% refund.

Cancellations made fewer than 3 calendar days before the session, as well as missed appointments, are non-refundable.

You may transfer your appointment to a friend or family member as long as you contact me before the session.

When will we receive our photos?

Your online gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your session.

After receiving the gallery, you will be able to select your five included images and purchase any additional photographs you love.

What should we wear?

Choose outfits that coordinate without matching exactly. Neutral, earthy, and softly muted colors tend to photograph beautifully.

Simple patterns, comfortable layers, and subtle textures can add visual interest. Try to avoid large logos, neon colors, and several competing patterns.

How many people can participate?

Mini sessions are designed for one immediate family, a couple, or an individual.

Please contact me before booking if you have a larger household or would like to include grandparents, cousins, or another family. A full session may be a better fit for extended-family portraits.

What if my child is shy or does not cooperate?

That is completely normal. Children do not need to sit still or smile perfectly to create meaningful photographs.

I will use simple prompts, movement, play, and plenty of patience to capture your family naturally. Preparing children for a relaxed outing rather than asking them to perform usually leads to the best results.

Can we bring a pet?

Please contact me before booking so I can confirm that pets are permitted at the location and help you prepare for the session.

Do you provide RAW or unedited images?

No. RAW and unedited files are not delivered. Every final image is carefully selected and edited to reflect the finished style shown in my portfolio.

Will our photographs be shared online?

I love sharing client images in my portfolio and on social media, but your preferences and any image-use permissions will be addressed in your session agreement.
