WEEKEND AVAILABILITY

Between sports, scouts, fall festivities and school events, our fall calendars fill up quickly. I don't want you to have to cancel a single thing! My minis are spread out throughout the season and are currently only offered on Saturday and Sunday evenings.


AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE

Mini sessions time slots are approximately 20 minutes long. I will gently guide your family through a series of prompts and poses to ensure we get a variety of images despite our tight timeline. We will go at your family's pace, especially if there are small children involved

We did a family photo session with Heather, and she was a 

joy to work with. Communication leading up to the session was proactive and clear. At the session, she gave great prompts to elicit real smiles and really cute photos. We just got our gallery, and they photos are beautiful. I would 100% recommend Heather for your family photos!"

An abbreviated version of a full HSC portrait session, the mini session is perfect for families that just want a handful of update images for their holiday cards and home galleries. We'll get right to work to ensure your collection contains plenty of variety- in half the time.

Choose the date and time slot that works best for your family. Each slot is 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to get a full family image, as well as a variety of family member groupings. You will sign the contract, pay your deposit and fill out a short questionnaire.


please arrive on time

Each mini-session event accommodates four families, so your prompt arrival is key! You will receive an e-mail on the day of your session with a location pin and instructions for where to park for your shoot.

I will guide you though a variety of poses and prompts, and we will make every effort to get at least an image of the whole family, mom & dad, each child, all siblings together and, if there is time, mom and dad each with all of the children.
