Minis
Mini sessions are for the family who wants beautiful, meaningful photos without the full production. It's a shorter, simpler experience at a pre-selected location, designed to fit into a busy week instead of taking over your Saturday.
Minis are quick, easy, and still deliver the same genuine, guided experience you'd get from a full session, just condensed into a shorter window. Perfect if you know you don't have time, or your toddler is only ever happy for a few minutes at a time.
This year, mini sessions are offered on weekdays only, with a few rare weekend dates released for holiday minis. All sessions include the designated number of edited digital images for download, plus access to purchase and download additional digital images and products.
Minis and Micro sessions are limited to only 3 individuals, with $50 per additional person.
Perfect for the family who needs updated photos for the holiday card, a quick refresh of the wall gallery, or simply doesn't have a full session's worth of time to spare right now. Same care, same quality, just faster and easier to fit into real life.
These are first come, first served, and fill up fast!
Back to School Micro
ONE WEEKEND ONLY
Richardson, TX
10 minutes | 3 edited digital images | $150
Made especially for RISD families, this micro session captures that first-day-of-school energy before backpacks get worn in and pencils get dull. Bring the kids in their new outfits, grab that "first day" sign, and let's document the excitement (or nerves!) of a new school year in just a few quick minutes.
RISD teachers are always welcome to book a session for updated headshots too, because you deserve a great photo for the classroom wall or staff directory, not just a rushed phone selfie.
Waterfall Mini
Richardson, TX
15 minutes | 5 edited digital images | $300
Tucked away in a quiet Richardson neighborhood, this hidden waterfall spot makes for a mini session that feels like a getaway without ever leaving town. Lush greenery, soft natural light, and the gentle sound of water in the background. It's the kind of backdrop that turns a quick session into something that feels a little magical.
Perfect for families who want a fresh, natural setting without the drive, and don't want to sacrifice beauty for convenience.
Note: While a very short distance from the road, it does require walking on uneven ground and a rocky stairs to this view.
