Christmas Sessions Are Here
Celebrate this season with photos of the people you love most. Choose a Christmas studio session in Minneapolis or Farmington, or join me among the evergreens at the Christmas tree farm.
I’ll guide you through a short, relaxed session with a mix of gently posed portraits and little moments of connection—so you don’t have to arrive knowing what to do.
15-minute session · 10 photos · $200
You don’t have to make everything perfect.
Maybe you’re wondering whether your little ones will sit still, whether you’ll feel awkward in front of the camera, or whether you’ll finally get a photo with everyone in it—including you.
You don’t need to know how to pose or have children who smile on command. I’ll help you settle in, guide you through the photos, and leave room for the cuddles, giggles, and personalities that make your family yours.
Whether you’re creating Christmas cards, planning a gift for grandparents, or simply updating your family photos, this is a chance to remember who you are together this year.

Booking details
TIME EFFICIENT
These sessions are designed to be efficient yet relaxed, and enjoyable. 15 minutes seems fast but it is plenty of time to create a beautiful gallery for your family. We'll photograph the whole family, the children together and do solo children's portrait plus any other groupings you would like (each parent with kids, etc.)
Before You Book
Mini sessions are for immediate families and couples. Please plan to arrive about 10 minutes early, since sessions are booked back-to-back.
A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your time slot. If weather is not suitable for photos, I’ll send an update with the backup plan. After booking, you’ll receive all of the details you need, including the exact location and a simple style guide to help you prepare.
FUN experience
Children really enjoy these sessions because the locations allow them to play and run around and my photography style doesn't require them to be still and posing too much. I'm a very patient and calm person, and it seems to put the kids at ease in the process too.

FAQ
What is included in a Christmas Mini Session?
Your Fall Mini Session includes a 15-minute session and 10 beautifully edited digital images delivered in an online gallery. These sessions are $150 and are perfect for updated family photos, holiday cards, couples, or just documenting this season with the people you love.
What should we wear?
I’ll send out a simple style guide with tips to help you coordinate without looking too matchy. I always recommend choosing comfortable outfits in soft, neutral, earthy, or muted fall colors that feel like you. The goal is for your photos to feel timeless—not overly trendy.
What if my kids do not cooperate?
That is completely okay—and very normal. You do not need perfectly behaved kids or a perfectly posed family to get beautiful photos. I’ll guide you through the session, keep things moving, and focus on genuine connection. Some of the sweetest images come from the in-between moments, cuddles, laughs, and a little bit of chaos.
Can we purchase additional images and upgrade to the full gallery?
Yes! You can upgrade to receive every edited image from your session for $80 when you book. This is a great option if you already know choosing only 10 images will be hard.
If you decide to upgrade after your gallery has been delivered, the full gallery will be available for $100.
When will we receive our photos?
Your edited gallery will be delivered within 14 days after your session. You’ll receive an email with a link to your private online gallery, where you can select and download your favorite 10 images.
What if we are running late?
Mini sessions are scheduled back-to-back, so please plan to arrive about 10 minutes early and be ready to start at your scheduled time. If you arrive late, your session will still need to end at its original time so the next family is not affected.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If we have rain, strong winds, or unsafe weather, I’ll send an update as soon as possible. I will do my best to offer a backup date or another solution, depending on availability. Light clouds are not a problem—they can actually photograph beautifully.
Can we reschedule or cancel?
Because mini sessions are limited and booked back-to-back, your session fee is non-refundable. If you cannot make your session, please reach out as soon as possible. If I am able to fill your spot, I will do my best to transfer your payment to another available session date.
