MINI SESSIONS 2026
Sessions are 15 minutes (PLENTY of time, trust me!) & you’ll get your choice of 5 high-resolution, edited digital images with print release. I take a 50% retainer up front to reserve your spot & the rest isn’t due until the week of your session.
Space is EXTREMELY limited, so be sure to snag a spot before they're gone— I sell out every year, so don't wait!!
