What Is a Golden Hour Mini?
A lot of people worry that 15 minutes isn’t enough.
That everything has to go perfectly, or it won’t work.
But it doesn’t take long to get what we need.
Golden Hour Mini Sessions are designed around that idea. In the right light, with a little guidance, a short window is more than enough to capture connection and personality in a way that feels natural.
Out in the meadow at sunset, the light softens and everything slows down just enough. We keep things moving, follow what’s working, and make the most of that time without overcomplicating it.
These sessions are a good fit if you want something simple and easy, and you trust the process. If you’re looking for more time, more flexibility, or a session built entirely around your vision, Signature Sessions are always available.

The Monday after your session, you’ll receive a proofing gallery with around 15 unedited images. Select and purchase the digital images you love.

Your purchased images are fully edited and delivered within one week in a final gallery. From there, you can download your digital files and order professionally printed artwork, shipped straight to your door.
The session fee is $49.
This reserves your time and includes access to your online proofing gallery. Digital images and printed products are purchased separately.
After your session, you’ll choose how you’d like to enjoy your images.
Digital images may be purchased individually for $45, or as a full gallery for $599. Quick Take Collections, which include digital images plus print credit, range from $159–$649.
Most families choose a collection that fits how they plan to use their photos, whether that’s sharing digitally, adding framed pieces to their home, or both.
A full product guide with collection details, wall art, albums, and gift options is available by request.
FAQ
How long is a Mini Session?
Mini Sessions are 15 minutes. Just enough time to get great photos, not enough time for kids to get bored.
How many people can be photographed?
Mini Session Weeks are designed for immediate family only. Keeping groups small helps everything stay fun and on schedule.
Can we do outfit changes?
Mini sessions are planned for one outfit. Simple outfits, happy kids, smoother sessions.
What if my child is shy, silly, or not in the mood?
Totally normal, especially with themed sessions. I’ll guide things as we go, and some of the best photos happen once kids relax and lean into the fun.
Can we bring pets?
Yes. Pets are always welcome. Just let me know who’s coming so I can plan accordingly.

Golden Hour Minis run back-to-back, so arriving on time is important. Late arrivals may mean a shorter session, depending on the schedule that day.
