Mini sessions this year will be held in September and October only, and will be a bit more limited than in previous years. I will also have a handful of “petite” sessions available in November - these will be thirty minutes in length and will take place at Circle C Park in Southwest Austin.
Mini Session Pricing: $375 plus tax (15-20 min session)
November Petite Session Pricing: $525 plus tax (30 min session)
Full Family Session Pricing: $799 plus tax (60 min session)
*Returning clients receive a 10% discount off all FULL (non mini) sessions
The full fall booking calendar, including mini signups, will be released to the Existing Clients newsletter list on Thursday evening, August 5th at 8 pm - from there you can browse all available session types and book directly. I will also be sending the fall calendar out to my full newsletter list on Friday, August 6th at 10 am, and new clients will have the opportunity to sign up for minis if any spots remain.
Not sure if a mini session or a full session is right for your family? Here’s a brief description of the ideal client for each:
Mini sessions: best for families who only want a handful of updated photos that are a bit more posed. The ideal mini session client is punctual and comfortable on a strict time schedule. Your children either already know me well, or warm up quickly to new faces and situations!
Full sessions: best for families who prefer a more leisurely pace, and love a greater variety of candid vs. posed photos in their final gallery, plus a greater variety of backgrounds, angles, expressions, etc. Full sessions work better for children who take a little longer to warm up in new situations, and I prefer to see new clients for the first time in a full session versus a mini, so I can get to know you a bit! I always feel like I’m in Robot Mode on mini session days. :) Full session clients also get to pick their own location from my guide, which is a nice bonus as well.

September 12 (sun) & 26 (sun) at One Eleven East
Hutto, TX
1:00-4:00 pm time slots
I’m SO incredibly excited to be at this gorgeous place again! We’ll be shooting primarily in the Skylight room (left photo above) - the lighting is so beautiful in the afternoon. One thing I love about this location is AIR CONDITIONING. Ha! You could plan fall outfits and not be a sweaty mess. :)
September 19th (Sunday) at South Congress Ave
South Central Austin
morning time slots 8:00-10:00
South Congress Ave is such a quintessential Austin spot, and parking should be easy and plentiful on a Sunday morning!
October 8 (fri) & 23(sat) at Texas Keeper Cider
Southwest Austin/Manchaca
evening sessions 5:00-7:00 pm
This little gem of a spot is one of my favorite locations in town - after photos, you might plan to sip some cider/build a custom picnic basket for your family! The grounds are gorgeous, the tap room is so cozy, and there’s lots of outdoor seating and a couple lawn games.
October 10(sun) & 22(fri) at Boggy Creek Farm
East Austin
morning sessions 8-10 am on Oct 10
evening sessions 5-7 pm on Oct 22
I am SO EXCITED about this one!! I’ve inquired with them in the past and never heard back, but this year they are allowing photography on the property and, while I don’t have example photos just yet, I think it’s going to be so stunning. There are two old historic farmhouses, rows of beautiful crops and flowers, towering old trees, a chicken coop, and more! This place is so near and dear to my heart, and I just cannot wait to photograph here.
