PreK Grad Mini Sessions are open for booking!

I am not sure how we’re almost here, but my own two babies are closing in on Preschool Graduation. How did we get here so quickly?? As we near the crazy month of May Madness and finishing our very last year of preschool ever, I wanted to document this special milestone for my girls — and for my clients and friends!

PreK Grad mini sessions will be ONE day only this April!
Barrington Hall is a beautiful location with gardens surrounding the historic mansion on the property. We won’t have time to move all around the property, but we’ll try for a couple different backdrops with each child. It’s located about a mile before you get to downtown Roswell. 

I will have a couple white preschool-sized caps and gowns, faux rolled diplomas, and a fun letter board sign to use for photos. They’ll be quick and easy, and the full gallery of edited images will be included in the session fee.   

Package is $150 and includes:
-15 minute session for one child
-online viewing gallery, available for 2 weeks
-full digital gallery for download

PLEASE NOTE: $75 deposit is due at time of booking. Fee is non-refundable but may be applied to another date if available.

*Locations, dates and times are subject to change if necessary.

Fall 2023 Mini Session Highlights, Part 1 | Atlanta Family Photographer

It always amazes me when another fall season rolls around… I feel like summer was gone in a flash, school started (over 1.5 months ago for us in metro Atlanta), and now here we are rolling quickly into fall! I kicked off mini sessions in early September at a favorite in-town garden/park, and as always, it did not disappoint. It’s still lush and green and was actually almost empty, which is never the case if I shoot there later in the season. (It’s popular for a reason!) Each of my four families were on their A game for their sessions — no tears or unhappy kids (or dads – ha!)… just lots of sweet smiles and sibling love. Can’t ask for a better way to start this busy season! I have a lot of favorites for each family, so it’s a little long. 🙂 Enjoy!

Now Booking 2023 Fall Mini Sessions!

It’s hard to believe, but it’s already time to start thinking about your family’s fall photo session! I am offering a selection of dates and locations to cater to my clients around the metro Atlanta area. Each of these spots will offer beautiful backdrops for your family’s holiday portraits. I look forward to seeing my client families again this year!

Who are Fall Mini Sessions good for? 
Mini Sessions are meant to be quick and easy! If you just want to get a few great photos for your annual holiday cards, a Mini Session will be perfect for you. I am also offering full one-hour Family Sessions throughout the fall, but availability is limited, so inquire now if you’re interested. If you want a more personalized session for you and your family with a variety of poses or feel that a full hour will be needed to give your little ones time to run and play and just be their silly selves in between (and during) photos, then this is what you’ll need. See the PRICING page for more information on regular family sessions.
