Mini sessions are not designed for newborns, headshots (unless specified) or extended families. Please reach out to DHP to schedule one of these sessions on another date. (*If you have a child or children that take time to warm up to new environments and strangers, mini sessions may not be an ideal fit for you.)

How does a mini session work?
A mini session is a quick session that yields a few photos for you to use for holiday cards or updating your gallery wall!

If you would like to choose a specific location or are looking for a specific date, let's book a full session together!

What happens in the case of inclement weather?
All weather related changes will be at the discretion of the photographer.

What happens if COVID causes non-essential business closures?
