Photos that feel
like you

You don't need an entire afternoon to remember this season of your life.

The way your kids look right now. The way they still reach for your hand. The people you love exactly as they are today.

I'll gently guide you through 15 minutes at Ijams, creating photographs that feel natural, connected, and unmistakably yours.

RESERVE YOUR SESSION

15 minutes

Enough time to settle in, connect, and create a beautiful variety of photographs without committing your whole afternoon.

5 edited images

After your session, you'll receive a proof gallery and choose your five favorites for professional editing. They’ll be yours to download in full resolution with personal printing rights.

Expert guidance

You don't need to know how to pose or where to put your hands. I'll give you simple direction while leaving plenty of room for the real moments to happen.

How It Works

1. Reserve Your Time

Pick a time that works best for you. Your session is officially reserved once your contract is signed and payment is completed.

2. Show Up and Have Fun

I'll guide you through natural movement and prompts. No stiff posing, no forced smiles. Just 15 minutes of actually being together while I pay attention.

3. Choose Your Favorites

Within 2 weeks, you'll get a private online gallery of 20+ proofs and you’ll pick your 5 favorite. If you fall for more than 5 (most people do), you can purchase the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 15-minute photo session, a private online gallery within 2 weeks, and your choice of 5 professionally edited images to download in full resolution with personal printing rights included. If you fall for more than 5 (most people do), you can purchase additional images or upgrade to the full gallery.
Yes. I've planned these sessions around a handful of meaningful moments, not dozens of poses. We move quickly, I'll guide you the whole way through, and you'll be surprised how much variety we get in 15 minutes.
For families with young children, the shorter timeframe is often a huge advantage because it keeps everyone engaged and happy.
That's so normal. And some of the best images come from the in-between moments anyway. Snuggles, giggles, someone making a weird face. I'll aim for a few where everyone's looking and smiling, but there's no pressure to sit still and perform. I'll guide you the whole time and work quickly to catch what's real.
Yes. Additional images are available and you can also upgrade to the full gallery once you see everything from your session.
Once you book, I’ll send a mini session guide with outfit tips and color inspiration.
For people feeling hesitant about coordinating colors, I generally recommend soft, earthy tones like cream, oatmeal, sage, olive, dusty blue, or warm neutrals. The most important thing is that everyone feels comfortable and that your outfits coordinate rather than match exactly.
Avoid large logos, neon colors, and busy patterns as they tend to take the attention away from every other part of the photo (i.e. your beautiful faces!)

In the week before your session, I’ll send a detailed confirmation email with the exact meeting location, parking information, and a map pin so you know exactly where to go.
I ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can start your session on time.
Because mini sessions are scheduled back-to-back, I’m only able to photograph during your reserved time slot.
If you arrive late, we’ll use whatever time remains, but it will affect the number of images you receive, so I highly recommend giving yourself a little extra travel time and arriving 10 minutes early.
If the weather looks questionable, I’ll keep a close eye on the forecast and communicate with everyone well in advance.
If we need to reschedule because of rain or unsafe weather conditions, I’ll offer a backup date or another solution so you don’t lose your session.
Your edited gallery will be delivered within 2 weeks after the session.
You’ll receive an email with a link to your private gallery, where you can view all of your images and choose your favorite five.
These mini sessions are designed for one immediate family, one couple, one senior, or one maternity group per time slot so we can make the most of our 15 minutes together.

I love dogs, and they’re welcome as long as they're leashed the whole time and comfortable around people and other dogs.

If you're hoping to include grandparents or a larger extended family group, send me a quick message before booking and I'll help you decide whether a mini session is the right fit or if a full family session would give you a better experience.
