It was a little chilly, but the sun peeked out on Sunday to add a little warmth for all the families.

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.

A Celebration Headshot from Case Western

I was recently asked by a graduating Case Western Law Student for some head shot photography. She was proud of how far she has come and wanted to document the success. Yes! I was so excited to hear about this. That is what photography does. It freezes time for all these special moments in our life. Often times we get so caught up in the process and hustle/bustle of life and forget to enjoy/savor the moment. We met on a beautiful spring morning at the Cleveland Art Museum. It was perfect timing with spring in full bloom. Please contact me if interested in head shot photography in the greater Cleveland area.
