I am a wedding photographer based in Fresno, CA. For the past 3 years I have been capturing adventurous love stories and helping others feel loved and supported throughout their wedding experience. If there isn't a camera in my hand, you would find me watching Friends or The Office, eating Chick-fil-A, and hanging our with my hubby and puppy.
Fall in Central California is pure magic; the golden leaves and crisp evening air make it the perfect backdrop for your next family photos. But what if you could capture all that beauty and connection in just 15 minutes? That’s exactly what a fall mini session offers. Here are five reasons why booking a short and sweet session is the perfect choice for busy families.
Between school schedules, sports, and work, finding time for a full photo session can feel impossible. A 15-minute mini session is short enough to fit into any day, keeping the kids (and parents!) happy while still capturing those heartwarming moments.
In the Central Valley, fall colors peak for just a few weeks. Mini sessions are scheduled during the most vibrant times, so you can take advantage of glowing leaves, golden light, and nature’s warm tones.
Mini sessions are a fantastic way to get beautiful, professional photos at a lower price point than a full session. You’ll still receive a gallery of timeless, candid images perfect for holiday cards, gifts, and updating your walls.
Kids have short attention spans, and even adults can feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. With a 15-minute session, there’s no time to overthink; just genuine smiles and natural moments.
Book your session early, and you’ll have gorgeous photos back in time to create holiday cards and thoughtful gifts. No last-minute scrambling, just joyful memories captured beautifully.
Spots are limited, and these sessions sell out fast!
