There may not be time for individual portraits or more variety.

Check out some of my past Tree Farm Minis here and Love Your Mama sessions here.
A Quick Note About Mini Sessions
Mini sessions are quick and are scheduled back-to-back with other families, and while 15 minutes is plenty of time for me to capture what we need, some little ones just need a bit longer to warm up. If that might be the case for your child, a full session might be a better fit to ensure we have the time and space to go at their pace.
Want to include grandparents, aunts, uncles, or cousins?
Let’s plan an extended family session instead! (See pricing above for details.)

A Few Fun Notes About Cake Smash Sessions
Cake smashes are all about celebrating your birthday babe—these sessions are designed just for them! You’ll bring the cake (I’m happy to chat through ideas if you need help with styling, cake ideas and bakery options!), and I keep the setup simple and sweet to let your little one shine.
Fun tip: Sometimes babies aren’t quite sure what to do with a cake—especially if it’s their first taste of something sweet! Don’t worry, I’ve got tricks up my sleeve. If needed, we’ll pull out the big guns (aka Cheerios or another fave of theirs) and sneak them into the cake to help them start exploring.
*These aren’t full family sessions - just the birthday child. With that said, if you’d like to hop in for a quick photo at the end, that’s totally fine!
