Mini sessions are made for the busy seasons in your family's life.

Mini Sessions are the perfect way to update your family photos without the time or energy commitment of a full session. These shorter, simplified sessions are held at a set location on select dates and designed for ease, efficiency, and beautiful results. Whether you’re capturing a seasonal milestone, gifting portraits to loved ones, or simply want a refreshed photo for your frame, mini sessions offer a lighthearted, low-pressure experience that still reflects the warmth and connection you love.

“From ideas on what to wear to the ordering and framing, the process was seamless. We are so happy with the end result and the beautiful photos we have of our little girls.”

"The Santa x Ralph Lauren themed minis were beyond beautiful — the setup was stunning, the atmosphere was cozy and elevated, and the photos turned out absolutely breathtaking!

from Knightly

"Maria has an incredible talent for capturing families in the most beautiful and timeless way. We absolutely love the mini shoots she offers—they’re the perfect length, especially for kids (and husbands)! Her warmth and kindness bring out the most genuine smiles!"

To complement your Heirloom Portraits, we offer custom framing options through our local artisan framer. During your Reveal & Selection Session,  I'll help you choose from a variety of styles to showcase your new artwork in a manner that seamlessly integrates with your home’s decor and charm.

Mini Sessions

Full Family Session

A Full Session offers a more personalized and in-depth experience. With up to an hour of shooting time, we have the flexibility to explore multiple locations, include outfit changes, and truly capture the essence of your family. Full sessions allow for a mix of traditional portraits and candid, storytelling moments, ensuring a well-rounded gallery of images that reflect your family’s unique connection. These are also ideal for extended family sessions and newborns.
