What exactly ARE mini sessions, you ask? Well, here's the breakdown for those who are unfamiliar with minis: I select a location ((in this case, War Memorial Park in West Bridgewater)) and I book 4 - 6 30 minute sessions back to back. Minis are great for families with little kids. 30 minutes is, generally, plllllenty of time to shoot littles. Let's just say kids can get a little grumpy when a session starts to drag on.

And sometimes, they just zone out....

Minis are also great if you just want a few quick photos taken for holiday cards. In my head, this time of year is known as "Christmas Card Season".

This past Saturday I had an amazing afternoon of minis! Every single one of them was a returning client so I got to see a lot of familiar faces. Here are few sneak peeks so you can all see what a mini looks like.

The Alberts - You're killing me with your cuteness, guys. Come on now....

And next up: The Stantons. I'm so lucky to see these guys once a year! Here's Richie and his ridiculously cute baby sis, Natalie!

Now the Nistas....You wanna see loyalty? They are the embodiment of loyalty. With me from the very start and I see them faithfully every year for holiday photos. I had a crazy surreal moment during our mini when we started discussing Michaela's senior portraits coming up in a few short years!!!!

Next up, Anna & Jimmy. Ummmmmmm, I'm sorry. These two are too gorgeous for me to even really try to write about. Anna's sneak peek was up on my Facebook page the other day:

And so here's a sneak peek of her dashing little brother, Jimmy! #thoseeyesthough #sigh

See, I'm speaking in hashtags - that's how cute they are!

And last but not least, my buddy Richie. Running on a very short nap, Richie was not really feeling his mini. Don't believe me?

But we took a couple deep breathes, Mumma gave him a few hugs, and we kept at it.

TOTALLY worth a few hiccups in the session!

So next time you see me posting about minis, maybe you should grab one?!?!?!
