Here’s what’s waiting for you
These mini sessions are thoughtfully designed for those who want a few beautiful portraits in a shorter session experience. Each session lasts 15 minutes and includes your choice of 5 digital images, selected from your own private online gallery. Sessions are designed for individual families. If you’d like to include multiple families, please book an additional session for each (back-to-back sessions). Each family unit receives their own private gallery with 5 included digital images. Galleries and inclusions are not shared or transferable between families. Family pets are welcomed, just let us know in advance so we can make sure your beach location is pet friendly.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your session time, with everyone dressed and ready to go. Since sessions are back-to-back, arriving a little early gives you time to walk to our photo location and remove any items like keys, wallets, or phones from pockets, and ensure you get the most out of your full session time.

FAQ
 
When should I choose a mini session instead of full session?
A mini session is perfect when you want a few beautiful, updated portraits in a shorter, simple experience. It’s a great choice for families who love seasonal setups, have limited time, or just need a handful of fresh photos.
Choose a full session if you’d love a more relaxed experience with plenty of time for variety. Longer sessions allow for multiple groupings, natural moments, and a wider selection of images, making them perfect for larger families, young children who may need extra time to warm up, or anyone wanting a fuller storytelling gallery.
HOW MANY FINAL IMAGES CAN WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE?
Most mini galleries will receive a minimum of 30 images. However, on average we can deliver upwards of 60+ images. Our full session galleries are typically 100+ images.
Can we do specific poses based on photos?
If you have specific poses you'd like us to draw inspiration from we are happy to accommodate. We kindly request that you send these photos via text to our phone 15 minutes prior to your session time. Please include your session time in the text. Dallas 0434 062 830
Can we purchase additional images and upgrade to the full gallery?
Your booked package includes 5 digital images. Each additional image over 5 is $50 each image. If you want all of your images there is the option to upgrade for an additional +$195 for your full gallery of images. You can purchase directly in your gallery or pre-purchase to request rush delivery. Galleries and inclusions are not shared or transferable between family sessions when they are booked back to back.
