Mini Family Portrait Sessions: Quick, Classic, and Stress-Free

What to Expect

Mini sessions are straightforward. We’ll meet at a classic New England spot I’ve chosen for its fall colors and timeless backdrop. I’ll guide you with simple prompts so the photos feel classic without looking forced, and in just 10 minutes we’ll have everything we need. Then you can be on your way to enjoy the rest of your fall evening—whether that’s apple picking, exploring the festival, or simply heading home for cocoa. If you’d like ideas for making a whole day of it, take a look at this post about Fall Family Mini Sessions at a Hidden Berkshire Landmark.

Because kids don’t always last through long shoots, these shorter sessions are a great fit—they’re efficient, relaxed, and still deliver beautiful results.
