Let's Start a New Tradition
My 20-minute studio holiday mini sessions are perfect for families with little ones or anyone looking for a quick, fun photo experience. I know it can be tough to wrangle everyone for a full hour, which is why these shorter sessions are ideal for capturing the joy of the season without the stress. In just 20 minutes, we’ll create beautiful, festive portraits that everyone will love.
Set against a whimsical holiday backdrop, these sessions are designed to capture your family’s personality and the magic of the season. Whether you're updating your family portraits or preparing holiday cards, these quick sessions make it easy to get high-quality, joyful photos just in time for the holidays.
Don't just take it from me!
Kind Words From Previous Clients
"We so appreciate Katie's direction and guidance to make us feel at ease during a slightly nerve-wracking day. We will cherish these photos forever and can't wait to look back on them year after year!"
"Katie is such a bubbly and nice person that you will feel so relaxed and at ease during your event. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and it was so easy with Katie. She is also very on top of things and I trusted her the entire process, which is a huge relief considering how many other things we need needed to stress about."
"Katie is so talented, seriously I can’t speak highly enough about her work. She was the first photographer I met with and I was sold in 5 minutes. She is so detailed oriented and takes so much pride in her work and it shows. What I loved the most from working with her is she’s seriously someone I am honored to be able to call her a friend I’ve only known her for two years but I feel like I’ve known her longer."
"Katie was an amazing photographer to work with! We were on a very quick time frame and she did a wonderful job communicating with us and working with us."

Frequently Asked Questions

How many family members are allowed to participate in the session?
Yes, there is a $50 deposit that is non-refundable. This and a signed contract will officially reserve your time slot. The remaining balance of $275 is due 5 days before your session. For your convenience, all payments are made electronically via HoneyBook.
Up to 6 family members are included in the standard investment of the session ($325). Each additional family member is $25. Families with more than 8 individuals will need to reserve two time slots if you wish to do a variety of group combinations and not feel rushed.
There is no set number of images you will receive- you will get all of them! I guarantee a minimum of 15 images from your session, but most galleries end up being larger than that. The number of images you receive will depend on participation and cooperation of family members.
I always encourage families to try and be 10-15 minutes early to their sessions to keep things on track, I understand things happen! If you are late to your session we will do our best to take as many photos as possible with the time remaining in your session spot.
I always recommend preparing your kids as best as possible for sessions like these. If you know there is a time of day where they are tired or cranky, try and avoid booking during that time. Give them a fun pep talk before walking in, so they are excited for pictures! I also ask for their favorite songs so we can have those playing during your time slot. To also ease your concerns, I have over a decades worth of experience working with kids from infants to high schoolers. My aim is to have FUN! We will do everything we can to help your little ones smile and get excited for photos.
Unfortunately, pets are not permitted in the studio for the mini sessions.
