Mini-Sessions
experience
GrAy Duck
Mini-Sessions are a beautiful way to update your family portraits, celebrate this season of life, and experience my photography style in a shorter session format.
These 20-minute sessions are thoughtfully designed for immediate family members and create a beautiful collection of images while keeping the experience simple and focused. After your session, you’ll receive a handcrafted online gallery where you’ll select your favorite 15 fully edited high-resolution images. Additional images and full gallery upgrades are available for purchase.
Mini-Sessions are reserved for immediate family members. If you would like to include additional family members or multiple households, a full one-hour session is recommended so everyone has the time and attention needed to create a relaxed, meaningful experience. If you’d like to add one additional family member, you may reserve an additional Mini-Session when availability allows.
Please note: Mini-Sessions are held at a predetermined location and date. Locations and dates are subject to change.
