2026 mini sessions

 

memories are worth it.


As the season evolves, we'll keep this page up to date in real time with what slots and locations remain for mini sessions for this year. 


Minis are $429 + NC sales tax and include at least 15 edited images, but you receive the code to download ALL hi-res images in your gallery.

Galleries never expire! We'll keep 'em online for as long as I have servers.


A quick note: Daylight Savings is Sunday, November 1st*

Amaris has photographed our family through every stage of life: from engagement to our wedding, and now watching our kids grow up. She finds beautiful moments amidst our fun and chaos.

Her spirit and talent are why we keep going back

over and over (and over) again!

Juniper Creek


A private farm in south Garner (just off 540), we love shooting here with their pretty light and fields of flowers and tall grass. The fact the rate supports NCSU is just bonus!



Oct 30 - Friday

445pm

515 pm

Sunset is at 623pm

NCMA


A family favorite across the Triangle, the NC Museum of Art makes for an easy session just about any time of the year! Towards Thanksgiving, the crowds tend to lessen and the colors change, making for a better time all around.


Oct 25 - Sunday

6pm - GOLDEN HOUR

Sunset is at 630pm

Joyner park


A popular Wake Forest spot, it's large enough that there's plenty of room to go around (and tons of parking, plus bathrooms!).


NOV 1 - Sunday

430pm - GOLDEN HOUR

Sunset is at 5pm

oak view park


One of my favorite locations to shoot! They limit the number of photographers at any one time, there's restrooms, and during November you can bring a bucket and fill it full of pecans from their grove. 


NOV 3 - Tuesday (Election Day)

3pm

Sunset is at 5pm
