summer beach mini sessions in chanhassen, mn

 

Picture that warm summer glow reflecting off the lake in the evening, surrounded by you and your family. The giggles, the running, the splashing and playing. Soaking in each moment, wishing summer wouldn't end, and your kids would stay this young forever.


These sessions help harness that summer energy and happiness, and freeze it in time so that you can look back for years to come at what wonderful memories you got to make together. These are based around the golden hour time, so for those of you with younger kiddos - I promise it is worth the later bedtime for one night.


These are a fantastic option for maternity or couples photos if you aren't looking for a full session!


Limited slots available.

Frequently Asked Questions

what's the difference between a full session and a mini session?

Are you looking for some quick, updated photos for a holiday card or to hang up on the wall? A mini session is for you. These are meant to be efficient and affordable to snap some photos of you and your loved ones. If you are wanting to spend time really exploring the location, creating different looks and poses, then I would recommend a full session to allow plenty of time for me to capture the session of your dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions

why are mini sessions only on specific days?

Mini sessions are hosted on specific days, times, and locations because they are designed to be efficient both for myself and my clients. That way you can simply select the date and time that works for you, show up, snap our photos and you can be on your way. I can also host a handful of clients back-to-back instead of spreading them out across multiples days and weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

what happens if the weather doesn't look great on the date of my mini session?

Unfortunately for us, Mother Nature tends to do what she wants. But I will be watching weather forecasts closely leading up to the session date, and will make the call within 24 hours if I don't feel that the weather is safe or practical for our session. If that does become the case, then I will send some backup, "Rainy Day" dates that clients can select from to reschedule their session for no penalty. If the backup dates don't work, then you will receive credit for one free session of your choice to use within one year of the original session date.
