They're BACK for the 6th year! I love, love, love the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin in DC. These mini sessions are opportunities to get quick, beautiful snaps of you and your family with the cherry blooms as simply the best backdrop.
Life can be hectic. Let me take some of the burden off you while getting fun, professional portraits: the date and location is already taken care of. You pick the time. That's it!
Date: TBD - awaiting Peak Bloom predictions
Times: 7:45am-10:15am; 15-minute slots
Includes: Mini Prep Guide and posing direction. Online gallery shows up to 15 edited images; see Collection details below.
Session Fee: $135 plus tax
Like my regular sessions, I offer a smaller booking fee and then allow you to choose from three collections once you’ve seen your photos. Because I find that digital images have a tendency to collect “digital dust” I always encourage you to print your photos. Most of the Mini collections include print credit for high quality products (prints, frames, canvas, etc).
"I loved the mini session, it was the perfect length for my kids’ attention spans."
NOTE: the session fee does not include images. You choose a Collection once you've seen all your photos
Peak bloom means when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms are open, and after peak bloom the blossoms can get much more susceptible to rough weather, which is why I try to host minis on the earlier weekend day, vs hoping for them to keep the week after.

"Very happy with the experience and gallery! We worked with Sarah previously and had such a great experience - she is adept at catching those wonderful shots that just capture the essence of your relationship. The cherry blossom mini session was such an awesome way to do some family shots that felt like less pressure."

"We took photos with a sleepy 2 year old at 7am but Sarah got some great smiles out of him! She was low-key and easy to work with. She was so great with our 2 year old and was able to get photos that we will treasure forever!"

"Great family photos. Sarah understood how to work with a very active baby. She was very accommodating and responsive."

"From scheduling, to her advice with styling, the specific location and making sure everything was easy on a hectic day. She was always kind and helpful from the beginning of the process until the end. Sarah was so patient and kind to my twins, especially when my daughter was less than cooperative during the session. However, the pictures are beautiful and you’d never know we had a tantrumming 5 year old subject. My family and I will treasure these photos forever!"
