Mini Sessions in Peoria Illinois


Mini sessions are short photography sessions that are offered a few times each year. These photography sessions are perfect for holiday cards, back to school photos or documenting and celebrating your family. Many clients make this an annual tradition, creating images that show the growth of their families over time.


Mini sessions give clients the chance to book family sessions significantly below the pricing for regular sessions. The sessions are shorter in duration, around 15-20 minutes, and they are limited to a single location. Clients choose from available time slots, each with limited availability. So if you see a time slot that works for you, it is highly recommend you book quickly, as the time slots fill up quickly each year!

When is the next Mini Session?

Please subscribe to my newsletter to get notified of my next set of mini sessions.

Is there a limit on the number of family members in the Mini Session Photos?

Yes. For most sessions there is a 6 person max, however, you may add other family members for an additional fee.

Back to school and last day of school mini session prices are for one child, however, you can add a sibling for an additional fee.

When should we arrive?

Mini sessions will run every 15 minutes. Because these mini-sessions are back-to-back, there is no wiggle room. If you are running late, I unfortunately cannot give you extra time during your session since it would push back each session following. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes early, that way we can be sure to get all the photos you were hoping for of your beautiful family!

May I bring Pets?

Absolutely, pets are family too! Just make sure they’re on a leash and bring bags to clean up after your pet. Also make sure to bring a treat or two and a squeaky toy for them to help while taking photos. Please let me know ahead of time if you plan on bringing the family dog.

What is your Cancellation Policy?

Mini session fees are nonrefundable and are required in full to book the date and time of your choice. Mini sessions are very limited, and therefore not able to be rescheduled for any reason. If you absolutely can’t make the mini session and you cancel with at least 24 hours notice, you will receive a credit towards a future session. No-shows or cancellations without a 24 hour notice will not receive a credit.
