2025 Holiday Mini Sessions

It's That Time Again – Holiday Minis Are HERE!

More Slots. More Magic. A Tiny Bit More $ (Thanks, Inflation 😅) – and a NEW Budget-Friendly Option!

Thanks SO much for voting on locations and times – we took your input to heart and opened up more spots than ever before (because last year’s madness of being fully booked in 6 hours was... intense).

This year’s lineup includes dreamy favorites like The Farm at South Mountain, Boyce Thompson Arboretum, and Coons Bluff for those gorgeous desert vibes.

🎉 New This Year: We’re now offering a budget-friendly Micro Mini alongside our standard Mini Sessions! Micro Minis are 15-minute on-set sessions — and YES, it’s amazing how much I can capture in that time! That said, if you’ve got younger kiddos or want more time for exploring different poses— the standard Mini is still your best bet.You know your child best — go with what suits your crew!

📝 All sessions (Mini or Micro Mini) include:

  • Standard editing on all finalized/delivered images
  • 20+ high-res digital files (this is an estimate depending on your power to not blink + everyone to smile at the same time lol)
  • Private Gallery with Access to Our Fav Pro lab for direct printing
  • A Print Release

Need help finalizing outfits?  Check out our “what they wore - holiday mini edition for Inso!”

📸 Note: Pricing has gone up just a smidge due to permits now required for shooting everyone (and the fact that everything from coffee to cat food costs more now), but we’re still keeping it packed with value.

Ready to grab your spot before they fly again? Book today! Spots are limited and sell out FAST!

See you all soon!

Joyfully
