The Still Hour

Mini Sessions vs. Full Sessions – What’s the Right Fit for You?

Whether you're updating family photos, celebrating a milestone, or just want to capture a moment in time, choosing between a mini session and a full session can feel like a big decision. The good news? Both are great options; it just depends on what you're looking for.
Mini Sessions
Mini sessions are short and sweet. They're perfect if you want just a handful of great images without committing to a full session. These are ideal for:
  1. Kids who have short attention spans
  2. Updating seasonal photos
  3. Scrapbooks or holiday cards
  4. Capturing a small moment or milestone

Since minis are quicker and more budget-friendly, you can book them more often throughout the year and build a beautiful collection of memories over time.

Full Sessions
Full sessions offer a slower pace, more time to relax, and room for variety. They're great for:
  1. Larger families or multiple outfit changes
  2. ​Capturing a mix of posed and candid moments
  3. More background/location options
  4. Having a wider gallery of images to choose from
With full sessions, there’s space to explore personalities, connection, and story. If you’re wanting a full gallery for prints, wall art, or heirloom albums, this is the way to go.
So... which should you choose?
If you just need a few updated images and want to keep things simple, go for a mini. If you’re celebrating a big moment or want a full storytelling experience, choose a full session.
Either way, you’ll walk away with beautiful images that feel like you.

Confidence Is Optional. Presence Is Everything.

Before the camera clicks, there’s often a moment of hesitation. A pause. A quiet thought like, “What am I doing here?”
That’s normal. Most people I work with aren’t models. They’re students, artists, dreamers, professionals, parents. Real people with real lives, showing up as they are.
The best portraits aren’t about perfection. They’re about presence. The way you stand, the way you breathe, the way your energy fills the space. That’s what makes an image magnetic.
This portrait isn’t about a perfect smile or knowing the right pose. It’s about posture and quiet confidence. It’s about showing up fully and letting the rest unfold.
Some of my favorite sessions have started with uncertainty and ended in transformation. Not because something changed, but because something was revealed.
There is power in being seen. Come as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.
