Mini Sessions are only held a couple times a year and Fall Minis are by far the most requested. I've been offering these year after year and can't tell you how grateful I am to those that continue to choose me to capture your family. I absolutely LOVE watching your babies grow.
Here's the thing. I know how hectic family life is! I completely understand the chaos of coordinating multiple children's sports schedules all while working and attempting to get dinner on the table. I know that getting dressed up on a weekend isn't your husband's favorite idea. But I promise you this...IT IS WORTH IT!! Time doesn't stop, the kids continue to grow and your family will never be in the stage as you are right now!
Family, individuals, siblings, and parents- I will capture it all for you and make sure you leave feeling loved and part of the Riley James family!

Sweet words From Previous Clients
"Mackenzie has been a part of so many of our major life events and captures our family perfectly! She rolls with the punches and is able to incorporate whatever stuffed animal my kids are insistent on keeping in the photos. Even when I am convinced that there is not a single good photo due to the craziness, she delivers a gallery full of dozens of priceless moments. My home is full of her photos and I can't wait to have her continue to be there for all our milestones!"
"We were finally able to get our entire family together (my husband and me, plus four kids and their families!) and Mackenzie was able to capture such sweet family memories for us! She was so patient with all of the grandkids too! We sure appreciate the time and effort she put into taking photos of all of us together, plus photos of each family separately too! Thanks so much, Mackenzie, for everything!!!"
"Absolutely fabulous experience. Organized and professional and also fun. Every photo was gorgeous!"

Yes! A $50 nonrefundable retainer payment is due at the time of booking, along with a signed contract. Spots are not fully reserved until both the contract and payment have been received. Your remaining balance of $245 is due one week prior to your session. For your convenience, all payments can be made electronically.
Up to 6 family members are included in the standard Mini Session ($295). Each additional family member is $30. Families with more than 8 individuals will need to reserve two time slots if you wish to do a variety of group combinations.
Yes! Just know that they may require additional time to get their attention. You may want to bring someone to help hold your pup when they aren't in the photos.
You will receive your gallery within 2 weeks of your session! In order to provide the quick turnaround of your mini session, and the probability of them being cards or gifts, sneak peek photos will not be given.Your gallery will be delivered to you via email, and it will be password protected. You will have full rights to the photos, so you may print, post and distribute them however you would like.
Don't stress- this happens from time to time! I always begin the session by doing casual, interactive group family photos first. That way, if your child doesn't want to look or smile directly at me, you still have great family photos! I'll always try my best to engage with the kids in a fun and silly way. I'm all about embracing the moment and stage your kids are at now. These are memories all the same!
Mini Sessions are offered at a predetermined location. I offer several locations on different dates to have variety in locations. Don't worry if the location is one you've been at previously! We will still have a great time and come up with different, beautiful images.
There is no set number of images you will receive- you will get all of them! I guarantee a minimum of 15 images from your session, but most galleries end up being larger than that. The number of images you receive will depend on participation and cooperation of family members.
