OKC Family Mini Sessions

Relaxed Shorts & Mini Sessions Throughout the Year

Throughout the year, I offer a few limited edition mini sessions and short sessions that provide you with a quick and low-stress way to get some high quality photos to help you remember this current stage of your family. Spring Giving Mini sessions open the way for you to update your photos and give to local ministries helping mamas and babies.

I do not hold traditional fall mini sessions but I do hold something better – short sessions – these are mini sessions with extra! A bit longer in length, delivery and service. I do offer limited golden hour Christmas Tree Farm mini sessions that give you a perfect holiday backdrop if that’s up your alley.

Oklahoma City Mini Sessions & Shorts

What do we wear for our mini sessions?

All my clients received access to a session and style guide including a few clickable link guides and styling mood boards. Recommend fall colors are neutral and autumn colors. (Check out what to wear for fall photos).

How do I know which session type is best for our family photos?

Mini Sessions are great if you want just a few more portrait style photos. While I still take a more relaxed approach due to the time constraints it it is not the same relaxed feel as short or full sessions. You also are not guaranteed individual photos or many assortments of photos.

What is a Mini Session

Basically, a mini session is a very shortened version of a regular session. It’s on a set date at a set place, both decided upon by the photographer. And then usually the session is a very small amount of time and a limited set amount of photos. You can read some of the advantages and disadvantages of a mini session in this blog post here.

If you can I do highly encourage you to just go for my full session – it comes with an online styling service and more time. You can choose different collections that you want for your needs. But most of all it gives us an hour or more together that enables me to get to know you, let your kids relax and let their true selves shine! A great option for this is an in-home session celebrating some of your favorite holiday traditions.

More About Me

Some Oklahoma City Mini Session FAQ

I don’t want my kids online, do you keep photos private?

Yes! I have a large percentage of clients who do not share photos online. I am always here to honor and respect your wishes. These photos are yours and I believe every family deserves gorgeous photos.

Do you do live animal mini sessions?

No I do not. I do not carry insurance for sessions with live animals unless they are my clients personal animals. I also believe baby animals like bunnies, chicks and ducklings are not toys for children and should not be handled by lots of little kids.

10 minutes feels super short, can I add more time?

I totally get 10 minutes feel super short and so I will always encourage you to pursue a short session or full session over a mini. Your kids get to relax in and that’s so much better! So if you think 10 minutes isn’t enough time, you are probably correct. Let’s chat and book the bigger session!
