There’s something about fall at Tanglewood Park that just feels like the perfect backdrop for family photos — warm golden leaves, cozy outfits, and a relaxed pace that lets families simply enjoy being together. This session was extra special because it was my first time photographing this family all together. I actually photographed the kids years ago in preschool, so seeing them again — now older and with so much personality — was such a full-circle moment for me.

When Mom reached out, she said something I hear often:

“We really just want one good family photo.”

And that is exactly why mini sessions are perfect.

In about 10-15 minutes, we captured exactly what she was hoping for — a genuine family portrait she can treasure forever — along with fun, natural moments of the kids together, individual portraits, and a few sweet shots of Mom and Dad. All without pressure, stress, or having to block off a full afternoon.

Why Mini Sessions Make Family Photos Easy

Mini sessions are a favorite of so many parents because they are:

✨ Short & kid-friendly — ideal for attention spans
✨ Low investment, time-wise and financially
✨ Zero overwhelm — no need for a full hour or multiple locations
✨ Flexible — you get 5 digital images included, with the option to upgrade if you love them all

And maybe the best part…
I offer mini sessions anytime throughout the year.
They aren’t limited to just fall or Christmas! Spring blooms, summer sunshine, pumpkin season, holiday vibes — whatever fits your family best.

So if you’re a parent who just needs that one great family photo (or a few updated shots of your kids as they grow), a mini session truly is the easiest way to make it happen.
