Mini sessions start at $175+HST, which includes 10 edited images. You can also upgrade to $250+HST for your full gallery of photos. Both packages include a fun, stress-free experience and professional editing in my signature bold and colourful style.

Mini sessions happen all year long! We run seasonal minis across Ottawa, including:
Each season brings a new backdrop and theme, so you’ll always have fresh photos to enjoy.
- Spring mini sessions at the Arboretum
- Summer minis at the beach, gardens, or lavender fields
- Fall mini sessions in Ottawa at spots like Watson’s Mill and the Arboretum
- Holiday mini sessions in Ottawa, both in studios and at tree farms
Each season brings a new backdrop and theme, so you’ll always have fresh photos to enjoy.

Yes! Mini sessions are designed to be short, playful, and stress-free. Fifteen minutes is often the sweet spot for little ones’ attention spans — just enough time to capture smiles without overwhelm.

Mini sessions are best suited for immediate families, couples, or individuals. If you’d like to include grandparents or extended family members, I recommend booking back-to-back minis so you’ll have more time together.

Ottawa weather can be unpredictable! If it rains too hard, we’ll either move your session to a covered or indoor backup location, or reschedule to another available date. You’ll always hear from me the day of your session with a clear plan.

Absolutely! Pets are part of the family too. Just let me know ahead of time, and please bring a leash, water, and a few treats to help things run smoothly. (Some studio and tree farm locations may have restrictions — check the session details when booking.)

Galleries are typically delivered within 2 weeks of your session — often sooner. That way, you’ll have plenty of time to use your photos for cards, gifts, or sharing online.

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and yourself! Neutrals, soft patterns, or coordinating colours always work beautifully. Each season has its own charm — cozy layers for fall, fresh pastels in spring, or festive outfits for holiday minis. I also send a prep guide with outfit tips after booking.

My editing style is bold, colourful, and full of warmth. I focus on keeping skin tones natural while making the colours of the season pop — whether that’s golden fall leaves, glowing sunsets, or twinkling holiday lights.
