Mini sessions, on film.
Let’s take some photos!
Summer and early fall are the perfect times to refresh your photos. These mini photo sessions in Connecticut are ideal for couples, families, and individuals who want natural, high-quality film images without the time or commitment of a full photo session. Whether you’re celebrating a relationship, updating family photos, marking a milestone, or just want something simple and beautiful, these sessions use a candid, documentary approach designed to feel easy, relaxed, and true to you.
For summer and fall 2026, I’m offering a small collection of limited mini sessions at intentionally selected locations throughout Connecticut, with each date chosen around the setting, experience, and available light. Check out the mini session offerings and locations below.
