Seasonal Photography

Mini Sessions

There’s something special about capturing little ones as they grow, and my seasonal mini sessions are a perfect way to do just that. These short, affordable shoots are ideal for keeping your family photos up to date throughout the year, without the commitment of a full session.

Set against the changing seasons, sessions are relaxed and playful, focusing on natural moments, genuine connection, and little personalities shining through. Seasonal mini sessions take place throughout the year and may include:

• Valentine’s Minis

• Easter / Spring Minis

• Pumpkin Patch / Autumn Minis

• Winter / Christmas Minis

Your brand is more than a logo. It’s your story and how you connect with your audience.

I create professional, strategic branding photography for entrepreneurs and small businesses, helping you build a cohesive library of images for your website, social media, and marketing. From personal brand storytelling to polished headshots, your images are designed to attract your ideal clients and work hard for your business.

Ideal for:

• Entrepreneurs & small business owners

• Personal brand storytelling

• Headshots & brand content
