As a mother of three, I understand that the most meaningful family portraits happen when children feel seen and parents feel at ease. From my Parkersburg studio, I provide a curated, calm environment designed to turn the seasonal rush into a quiet moment of connection. I balance a mother’s intuition with a professional eye for detail, ensuring your holiday images are as effortless as they are timeless.

Mini Sessions
FAQs About the
Q: Who are these mini sessions for?
These sessions are for families who want a beautiful, easy way to document how much their kids have grown this year. If you love the look of high-end portraits but want the process to feel light and stress-free, you’re in the right place. They are perfect for busy parents who value quality and want to capture their family’s magic in a quick, relaxed window that works for everyone—especially the little ones. Couples, families and pets are all welcome.
Q: How much is required up front to reserve my spot?
A: To keep your spot secure and the process simple, the full session fee is required at the time of booking.
Because these mid-November dates are limited and often fill up quickly, this ensures that your family’s preferred time is officially tucked away and reserved just for you. Once that’s taken care of, you can check "holiday photos" off your to-do list and look forward to a relaxed, easy-going morning at the studio.
Q: How & when will I receive my gallery?
A: Following your session, I’ll set up a private online gallery where you can view your images and choose your favorites. You’ll have 10 digital files included with your session fee, but if you find you love them all, you can easily upgrade to the full gallery for an additional $100. The gallery will be back within two weeks of your session, and right on time for your holiday cards!
Q: Am I able to buy cards of my photos?
A: Absolutely! We have an online shop within every gallery to make the card ordering process easy for everyone. You can also find our heirloom artwork options there!
Q: Are grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc allowed in the photos?
A: Since these sessions are short and sweet, we are unable to accommodate extended family members in one slot. If you'd like to include more family members, please book additional slots back to back. The only exception is immediate families of more than 5 people. Have more than 3 kids? Totally okay. We will make it all happen!
