What is a Mini Session?
A mini session is a short and sweet 20-minute photography session, held at a set location on specific dates in Iowa City, Oxford / Tiffin, and Solon, IA. Think of it as the perfect way to get professional fall photos without committing to a full hour-long session.
Mini sessions are ideal for updating family portraits, capturing a quick couples session, creating holiday card images, or simply getting a handful of beautiful, frame-worthy shots. Because these fall mini photography sessions are scheduled back-to-back on the same day, it’s important to arrive on time (or even a little early!) so we can make the most of your session.
