2025 Fall Mini Sessions in DFW & NYC

I am thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to take your photo with me this fall. Due to an overwhelming request, I am hosting photography DFW mini sessions on November 15th and 22nd and NYC mini sessions in Prospect Park on November 1st. This year, I am bringing you the chance to capture precious moments in two iconic cities, ensuring you get a professional photo taken at least once this year.

As a Dallas photographer, I am offering a mini-session date as well as a rain date. The first option is a DFW staple with mini sessions at 12 Hills Nature Center on November 15th and White Rock Lake on November 22nd. Mini-sessions are perfect for the family or couple looking to get pictures out in nature.

Although I am based in Dallas, I did not forget about my NYC friends. I will head to NYC to capture mini-sessions at the timeless NYC location, Prospect Park, on November 1st.

Should you opt for a mini-session vs a full session ?

1. Firstly, the holiday season is right around the corner, and what better way to spread joy than with stunning photographs? My fall mini-sessions are perfect for those seeking a handful of images for their holiday cards or thoughtful, personalized gifts. Whether a heartwarming family portrait or a new baby announcement, my mini-sessions provide the right time to capture your joy.

2. As a mom of two boys, I understand that young ones can sometimes have a limited attention span. Mini-sessions offer a fantastic solution if you’re worried your little bundles of energy will hold up during a full-hour session. With their shorter duration, these sessions are ideal for capturing genuine expressions and candid moments before anyone gets too restless. I’ll work my magic swiftly, ensuring we get a good shot that your loved ones will enjoy for years.

3. Whether you’re planning a romantic autumn wedding or want to capture your engagement bliss, mini-sessions are a fabulous opportunity to get that perfect picture for your wedding and save the date. This is a great, cost-effective way of capturing save-the-date images if you are not planning on doing a full engagement session.

Read this blog post on why you should book a full session for your family.

Mini-sessions are the budget-friendly option for photography

4. Everyone should have the chance to experience the magic of professional photography. Because of this current climate, fall mini-sessions are for those who want professional photos this year on a budget. Finally, I understand that professional photos are not something everyone can make happen yearly, so by offering these mini-sessions, you will experience a professional session without breaking the bank.
