Mini Session Gift Cards Are Here! 🎉

For all my families with hectic schedules or those who aren’t exactly photo fans—this one’s for you! I only offer a handful of mini sessions each year, and now’s your chance to grab one.

I’m releasing 5 Mini Session Gift Cards—first come, first served! Each gift card is good for one 15-minute mini session, to be used anytime within one year of purchase.

Sessions will take place in Smithfield, NC at one of my designated locations along Highway 210 (unless we chat and agree otherwise). These are simple, classic sessions—no themed setups, just timeless, beautiful photos. We will chat to book a date that works best for both of our schedules. This is not a set date for minis.

Each gift card is $100 plus tax (nonrefundable) and must be paid in full to claim. (Venmo/Apple Pay)
I don’t offer minis year-round, so this is a rare chance to lock one in!

✨ Grab yours before they’re gone!

Let me just say, I was internally stressingggg about the heat the evening of this session, thinking there was no way this sweet little guy would be up for photos. But wow… was I wrong! Mason was all giggles and sunshine from the moment we started, and I just know his daddy was smiling down from heaven, beaming with pride at every joyful sound his baby boy made.

Mason is the definition of an outdoor baby. fearless, happy, and full of life. I am beyond honored that Gabby trusted me to capture these beautiful moments. Watching the love between this amazing mama and her boy was something truly special, and I’m already looking forward to the next time I get to photograph them.

Gabby, I know Ethan is watching over you and Mason with a full heart. He sees your strength, your love, and the incredible mother you are. It’s moments like these that remind me just how meaningful doing photography truly is.

Trying to only pick a few photos to share of the over 100 photos captured was tough! 😅

I am already excited for our next session! I am looking forward to watching Mason grow in the future years! ❤

Stars, stripes, and southern roots 🇺🇸🌱 Our annual tradition, watching him grow among the to***co rows. Nothing says Fourth of July like barefoot smiles, southern sunshine, and a boy proud of his roots.🇺🇸❤

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Pre-K & Kindergarten Graduation Minis! 🎓✨

These sessions are truly some of my absolute favorites every single year — capturing those proud little smiles and big milestones is such a joy! 💛

& no, these are not limited to just Pre-K & Kindergarten. I have done kids leaving 5th grade as well!

If you weren’t able to make the scheduled mini days, there’s still a possible chance I can fit you in on another date. My availability is limited and pricing will be different from the set mini sessions that have passed, don’t hesitate to reach out if you're interested!

These are the kind of sweet memories you’ll never regret capturing. 🥹📸

The email I have not been looking forward to came yesterday… Pre-K graduation is almost here.
How? How is my baby already wrapping up his very first school chapter?

Every year I say these graduation minis are my favorite — the sweet smiles, the proud little faces. But this year, it hits different. This year, it's my baby.

He was just holding my hand, walking into his first day, eyes wide with wonder. And now he's walking toward the finish line of Pre-K, taller, braver, and more grown than my heart is ready for.

Time, please slow down. My mama heart wasn't prepared for this one. 💙🎓

Mamas, can you believe how fast they grow? One day, they’re holding your hand at Pre-K graduation, and before you know it, they’ll be walking the stage as high school seniors.

Capture this sweet milestone with a Graduation Mini Session—because in a blink, you’ll be comparing these tiny smiles to their future senior portraits. 💛
