Does Your Child Have a Special Milestone Coming Up? Celebrate with Cake + Confetti!

Confetti Pop Up Minis with BIG Personality ✨🎉 | Morristown NJ Portrait Photographer

June 30, 2025 by Dawn Pecorella Curto in Pop Up Minis, Kids Portraits, Confetti Sessions

Morristown, NJ Family & Kids Photographer - What is a Confetti Session?

Ready to sprinkle a little magic into your memories? My Pop Up Minis with Big Personality are short, sweet, and oh-so-fun—especially when we add a little confetti chaos to the mix!

These playful sessions are designed to capture your child’s unique personality at this exact moment in time. Whether they’re bursting with giggles, giving serious model vibes, or just loving life with confetti in their hair—these minis are quick, lighthearted, and full of heart.

Confetti isn’t always part of a Pop Up Mini… but when it is, it’s unforgettable. I've used it in sibling sessions, milestone birthday portraits, and even to wrap up a Cake Smash session with a bang! 🎂✨

📸 What’s Included in a Pop Up Mini? - Besides Lots of Fun!

Pop Up Minis are held in my garage “studio” in Morristown, NJ, with a simple setup that lets your kiddo (or pet!) shine. Sessions are about 10–15 minutes—just the right amount of time to capture magic without overwhelming your little one.

Perfect for:
– Milestone birthdays
– "Just because" portraits
– Capturing a moment in time before the next growth spurt
– Pets (as long as they're calm, won’t run if off leash and won’t eat the confetti!)

Senior pics don’t have to be awkward—promise. We hit downtown Morristown for Griffin’s senior session and kept it super laid back. His chill vibe came through in every shot.

Okay… I have a new obsession: puppy cake smashes!
