Northeast Ohio definitely gave us some beautiful fall weather this year! The trees seemed so bright, beautiful and golden at all of my shoots. I was so glad there was no need to reschedule and deal with rain this fall. Most of my mini sessions this year took place at Chagrin River Park and Squires Castle. I really appreciate everyone for trusting me with their family photos again for 2022!
The Wonder of Fall | Fall Mini Sessions | Cleveland Ohio | Northeast Ohio
This years fall colors really have been quite beautiful. Add on the warm weather with the gold, yellow and red leaves and it made for the perfect fall in September and October. These two months are also a favorite month of mine to hold my fall mini sessions. What are fall mini sessions compared to regular sessions? Throughout the year I always hold a regular and petite session for those who are in need of shots. Those sessions are typical 1 hour or 30 minutes for the petite. They can often be 1 hour before sunset and are less rushed more fun and creative with the family.
However, my mini sessions which are only offered a few times a year are 20 minute sessions and scheduled in blocks of time. So they are a bit more rushed and more quick photos (a little less time to be super creative). But they are perfect for those who only want a few updated photos of the family or have little kids who they know won't sit still for longer than 20 minutes. My minis always have a full gallery sent of 25 images and you have the option to choose your favorite 10 images.

Red Truck Mini Sessions | Fall Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Lake County Ohio
Nothing says fall like brightly colored leaves, crisp air, apples and a bright red antique truck! My red truck minis this year were so much for the fall season and gave my clients a little something different this time. The red truck was decked out in pumpkins, pillows, mums and blankets, the perfect set for some quick fall photos. My special mini session are only held a few times throughout the year. They are usually a special themed event such as red truck, pumpkin farm, local park and Christmas tree farm. They are special since I usually bring more props and decor with the shoot along with a special theme. If you are interested in future mini sessions please reach out for my newsletter as most of my minis sell out each year through email alone.
Happy Fall~
Fall Mini Photography Sessions | Cleveland, Ohio | Lake County, Ohio
Its that time of year again with the cooler temps, leaves changing and shorter days. Even though I really love summer and that will always be my favorite time of year. There is something about the start and feel of the fall and holiday season. For me it also starts the busy my busy Family Photography Session season. I am usually busy all year round with newborns, milestone and family photography. The fall is my favorite time to host a few mini photography sessions. I only do about 3-4 per year and its a great time for families who only want a few pictures and a quick session. What is a Mini Session? And how is it different than a regular family session?
My regular family sessions can be booked at anytime throughout the year. I am always happy to work with the family picking the best day, location and of course outfits for their photoshoot. With my regular family sessions there is one price and in that price it comes with 50-60 digital images with copyright. The family also gets to choose any location they would prefer. Urban, beach, park or even their own home is an option.
My Mini Sessions are only done a few times during the year. The date and location is chosen by myself. The session is only 20 minutes and the family usually receives 10-12 digital images with the option to purchase more. Are the minis meant to replace a full family session. Not usually… There is no way I can photograph in 20 minutes what I would normally shoot in a full 1 -1 1/2 hour session. The minis are short and sweet but nice for families who like to get pictures done every year:)
For my Fall 2019 Mini Photography Sessions I am booked for October. I have a couple openings for a full regular family session. I will be announcing my Christmas Tree Farm Mini Sessions soon. These will take place in November. If you would like to be added to my email list please contact me. I notify all clients via email first about mini sessions and then I announce on social media.

Fall Family Mini Photography Sessions | Cleveland, Ohio
Its my favorite time of year! The leaves are turning, the air is crisp and everyone is thinking about updating those family photos! Fall is a wonderful time to update the pictures and create some timeless looking photos for your home. Mini sessions are only offered a few times throughout the year and only a few days. What exactly is a Mini session anyway?
Mini Sessions are a small quick 20 minute session. The client usually has the options of picking a 5 or 10 digital image package. I know so many people love the mini session idea because they feel often times their kids wont last the full hour during a regular family session.
I do have mixed feelings about mini sessions. I love them because I know this is what my clients want and wish I offered them more often. I do and always will continue to offer them. The downside for me, is I often times feel rushed and I don’t like to be a “clock watcher” when shooting family photos. Unfortunately, I need to in order to keep the families on schedule for the day. I really enjoy my regular family sessions probably the best and I continue to book those throughout the fall and winter as well. This is a full hour up to 90 minutes shooting pictures, talking with the family and capturing those genuine family moments on film.
The mini sessions I am offering this year is 3 days of Fall Mini Sessions. 3 days of Winter Mini sessions at a local tree farm. In the spring I may offer an Easter Mini Session and usually a beach mini session during the summer. Keep in mind you do not need to wait to to book for your family session with a mini. I book and accept clients for regular family sessions throughout the year.
Please contact me if you would like to get scheduled for your family session.
