How are you making memories this summer?
An ultra-mini session or Mini Sessions is exactly what it sounds like: a smaller version of the portrait photo packages we already offer as a photographer. This photo session should only last 10-15 or 20-25 mins based on package. The "ULTRA- MINI" sessions are set up at certain times of the year. The Mini Sessions can be scheduled at any time based on your family needs. If you’re someone who loves getting family photos taken, you likely know the buzz surrounding these mini sessions. There are others (like me!) who absolutely LOVE them. As a mom of four, I completely understand the appeal to capture some beautiful, professional photos for a lower price point in a faster time frame. Mini sessions can be absolutely incredible both from a business and client standpoint, but they aren’t for everyone. Here are some "Ultra" Mini Sessions we offer when considering and when deciding whether a mini session is right for you and your family.
If you’re booking a mini session hoping for just a couple good photos of your family, this is exactly what they’re intended for. A mini session might be right for you if you just want a few good photos, have a shorter wish list, and are willing to go with the flow of a fast, less predictable time slot. A mini session might be right for you if you’re OK with capturing your kids just as they are, whether that is smiling (or not), climbing, jumping, or everything in between. Or, you have very outgoing, cooperative kids that you know will listen very well during our brief time slot.
Ultra- Mini Session - 10-15 mins - 10 images from your session $175
Mini Sessions - 20-25 minutes - 25 images - $250
If you’re on a tighter budget, a mini session is an excellent fit. If a photographer you love is out of your price range, a mini session is a great way to get photos from him or her without completely blowing your family budget. Sessions are immediate family up to 6 people, and we provide the props and fun! Extended Family are required to book a back to back time slot.
Motherhood Ultra Mini Sessions { In the Studio }
are My favorite time of the year!
Mamas- it's YOUR turn to be celebrated. Grab your babies & come snuggle up with me as we document the love between you & your little ones. Mom's only
Why are these sessions so important to me? It's easy to get lost behind the camera, your day to day tasks, and this all consuming duty we have to our children. But at the same time these moments are fleeting, beautiful & they pass by entirely too quick!
* I want to freeze this period of time for you.
* I want to highlight the bond between You & Your Babies.
* I want your babies to look back on these moments & always remember their Mother as being Strong, Beautiful, Loving & Present.

Fatherhood Ultra Mini Sessions
EVERY DAD deserves to have beautiful photos of his
mini-me’s!!
I am really excited for these sessions for so many reasons. ONE, every DAD out there deserves beautiful images with their children. TWO, it's so fun to see so many families in one day. SOME of my favourite photos from sessions are the ones of kiddos with their parents. I LOVE capturing stories and preserving memories - the family connection.

Back To School - Mini Sessions
Let your little one shine through. These are coming for the fall. Not like a typical school photo, we like to photograph your little ones personality. Grab the blazer, frilly dress with fun shoes. These are not your typical Back to school session. Locations vary, and we try for a non-distraction location to keep your little ones focused. Locations vary based on the back to school theme we are doing. Props we supply and vary per session. We love our antique desk, books, apples and of course our chalkboard sign to write your specifics.
Sessions come out in September
Fall - Ultra Mini Sessions
Another Fun outdoor session, playing in the leaves, paths and resting on a blanket. Props can vary based on location. WE love to bring our decorative fall themed wreath, our blanket, and chair or crate to create the fun. We offer a wide variety of poses for your photos to make your session fun - PLUS the kids LOVE it. Sometimes we add in a pumpkin or two, or a leave toss!
Fun fields, tall grass and beautiful paths.

Field ultra Mini Sessions
We love to support local, and share the farmers fields of photographing families in the fields. These sessions are based on the production of the field and when its at its best. Fields can be corn, wheat, barley or maybe canola. Everyone loves the golden feel of the fields, and appreciate the hard dedication theses Farmers & Families provide.
These are very seasonal, and are everyone's favourite
PLACES we frequent: Open fields, playing in the trees, Old red truck, wreath, rustic barn,

Sunflower Mini Sessions
What is unique about a sunflower? The giant flower on sunflowers is made up of many tiny blooms. The center of the sunflower, where the seeds develop, is made up of tiny blossoms that bees love. ... Sunflowers typically grow between 5 and 12 feet tall (not counting cute little dwarf sunflowers.) They can reach full height in as little as six months. AMAZING RIGHT!!
Seeing the bees play among the flowers is absolutely breathtaking.
Great for families up to 4-6. No pets on the fields unless otherwise noted.
PLACES we frequent: Local sunflower farms in our area
Entrance fee extra
Sunflower Fields:
Down on the Farm (Near Gull Lake)
Sunflower Valley Farm (east of Lacombe)

Black & White Mini Session
This summer I’m offering my favorite black & white mini sessions in the comfort of our studio in Lacombe.
These sessions will take place in front of a white backdrop and images will be edited in black and white. Fun and no stress! I love everything about documenting kids as they are, and I think that is captured best in black & white images. Really showcasing their silly, fun, smiley (or not smiley) selves.
Cost: $99 Session Fee
Includes: 5 digital images per child with a print release with the option to purchase the additional images from your viewing gallery.
20 min session
Immediate Family up to 5 in the studio
