So Much in Just 15 Minutes!


One of my favorite things about mini sessions is just how much we can capture in 15 minutes! Mini sessions are perfect for families who want updated photos without committing to a full-length session, and they’re especially great for little ones who may not want to spend an entire hour taking pictures.


During my St. Louis mini sessions, I guide families through a variety of poses and combinations so we can make the most of every minute. We capture the whole family together, kids with mom and dad, individual photos of the kids, and even a few photos of just the parents. By moving quickly between poses and giving kids simple directions, we’re able to get so much variety in a short amount of time!


And honestly, 15 minutes is usually the perfect amount of time for little ones. We keep things moving, make it fun, and finish before the kids lose interest. Parents are always happy with how quick and easy the experience is, and we still end up with so many beautiful images to choose from!


Whether you’re looking for updated family photos, seasonal portraits, or a few new favorites of your growing family, mini sessions are such a great option.


These are all images from a recent mini session! I typically get 20-30 GREAT images!

If you’re looking for a St. Louis family photographer, I’d love to help you capture this season of life! I serve families throughout St. Louis and St. Charles County, including O’Fallon, St. Peters, Wentzville, and the surrounding areas.
