Fall Minis 2025: Booking is OPEN!

If you're hoping to get joyful, timeless family photos this fall - without the stress of a full session - Fall Minis might be exactly what you're looking for.


These short and sweet sessions are ideal for busy families (yes, even the ones with wiggly toddlers or camera-shy spouses). I’ll handle the location, the timing, and the energy. You just show up! I'll get real smiles, help you feel relaxed in front of the camera, and make the whole thing surprisingly easy.


Why book a fall mini session?

Fall in Northern Virginia is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The trees are showing off, the weather is usually cooperative, and the golden light makes everyone look like they belong in a magazine. Mini sessions are a great option for:

  • Families who want holiday card photos
  • Parents with younger kids who do best in short bursts
  • Couples or parents who haven’t been in a photo together in years
  • Anyone who wants quality photography without a full-session commitment

"From scheduling, to styling tips, to making everything easy on a hectic day—Sarah was kind and helpful every step of the way. She was so patient with my twins, even when my daughter had a full meltdown mid-session. My family and I will treasure these photos forever."
