I know choosing the right photo session for your family can feel like a big decision—especially with fall sneaking up fast (seriously, how is August already flying by?!). That’s why I wanted to break it down for you and help you figure out if a full or mini session fits your crew best.
The good news? There’s no wrong choice here—just what works best for your season of life. 🍂
🍁 Why Families Love Mini Sessions
Mini sessions are short, sweet, and stress-free. They’re perfect if you:
- Have little ones who may not last long in front of the camera
- Need a quick refresh for holiday cards or gifts
- Want professional photos without the full-session price tag
- Prefer something easy, themed, and already planned out
Think of it as a bite-sized version of the full experience. I pick the location, style everything out, and in a quick window of time, we create images that feel special and true to your family.
✨ And here’s a little secret—something new is coming soon just for my mini lovers. A brand-new mini membership is on the horizon, designed for families who want more magic sprinkled throughout the year.
Mini sessions are especially popular in Statesville, Mooresville, and Hickory for families who want a quick, seasonal fall photoshoot without the stress.
📸 Why Families Choose Full Sessions
Full sessions give us room to slow down, play, and capture a wide variety of moments. They’re perfect if you:
- Want a full, storytelling experience from start to finish
- Are including grandparents, cousins, or multiple generations
- Love the idea of outfit changes or custom locations that feel like “you”
- Have kids who need a little extra time to warm up (totally normal!)
- Want a gallery with variety and flexibility for larger pieces in your home
With more time, we’re able to explore, laugh, and create images that feel natural instead of rushed. The extra breathing room means more genuine smiles and all those little in-between moments that often end up being the favorites.
Families around Charlotte and the Lake Norman area often love full sessions because it allows for more variety—especially if you’re including extended family or choosing a meaningful location.
So… Which Session Is Right for You?
If you’re craving a quick holiday update, a mini session is probably your best fit. If you’re looking for something more in-depth, with space to slow down and capture every detail, a full fall photo session is the way to go.
Either way, you’ll walk away with images you’ll love looking back on—whether it’s for your holiday cards or framed in your home.
🍂 Spots are open now! Fall & Holiday Minis are still available, at both Fisher Farm in Davidson, NC (October 25th) or at Fleurish Greenhouse (December 6th) in Taylorsville, NC. You can book your spot using this link! I’ve also got a few weekday full session openings left in my calendar. If you’re in Statesville, Mooresville, Hickory, or Charlotte, NC and one of these feels right for your family, reach out to grab your spot before they’re gone!
