Sunflower Mini Sessions
July 19th-20th, 24th 2025
Join me this Summer at Schwirian Farm for their annual sunflower festival, July 19th - 20th, 24th! If you want to give an S-tier-level gift or treat yourself to something special, this is it! As a mother myself, even as a professional photographer, I rarely have nice photos of myself or pictures taken with my own family. So, instead of only capturing your loved ones or taking a less-than-flattering selfie on your phone that you will not do anything with, invest in a beautiful set of photos you can proudly display and keep forever.
INVESTMENT: $150
Each session is 15 minutes in length. You will receive a gallery of 10 edited images in a digital gallery. Then, you can select the 5 images you want to keep and download. Two additional images can be purchased for $40 per photo or all 10 edited photos for $100 ($250 for full upgrade).
FAQ
IS THIS JUST FOR FAMILIES?
No! Many of the minis will be families but are not limited to maternity, newborn, breastfeeding, Senior, engagement, or headshots for this particular mini-event. Have something else in mind? Ask me if I can do it!
WHO ARE MINI SESSIONS FOR OR NOT FOR?
Mini sessions are not for everyone in every situation. It works out great nine times out of 10 for many, but with our limited time together, there is no time for outfit changes, special requests, props, or time-sensitive posing. They are not good for those who want to have a lot of options or variety in their photos. You might need more than a mini-session has to offer if you have young children who are stubborn picture-takers. Sometimes, it takes a while for a kid having a sensitive day to gain their trust before I can truly capture those magical moments.
Mini sessions are great for those who want a handful of really nice photos without being overwhelmed with an extensive gallery and whose budgets are $300 or less. You can trust your photographer quickly with their posing and expertise. Mini sessions are also great for families who need a quick in-and-out, fast-paced experience.
