20 minutes | 20 images | $300

After 8 years and hundreds of happy families, these sessions have become something pretty special! Perfect for busy families, fidgety kiddos, or that one family member who you know definitely wouldn’t sit through a full-length shoot.

Mini Sessions run in spring and autumn over a few weekends, held at ever-changing locations across the beautiful Hawke’s Bay landscapes. Past spots have included beaches, parks and reserves, blossom trees, olive groves, riverbanks, and more.

On the day of your session, we'll use our twenty minutes to create a selection of classic portraits with lots of smiling faces mixed in with candid moments, highlighting relationships and personalities. My Mini Sessions are designed to be short, sweet and fun to keep stress levels low and everyone in good spirits.

These sessions are known to book out fast, so your best bet is to join the Early Bird list. You’ll be in the loop when new dates are announced and get priority booking, too. Just get in touch here to be one of the first to know.

Minimal fuss, maximum moments.

If you’re worried that 20 minutes might not be enough, take a look at some previous sessions from real families, just like yours, to see what we can create in this time.

A little glimpse into how a Mini Session with me typically runs. We chat, we walk, we tickle and giggle, and we create some amazing photos together.

Kids are free to be themselves and I promise to make it a positive and FUN experience for every family member!
