MINI SESSIONS

ON 35mm FILM

“Jess has this special ability to make you feel at ease, and in doing so, captures the moments you didn't even know you needed and wanted captured. She's understanding and flexible, which is so critical when you have children, and truly makes you feel like she's invested in your family. She is genuinely just a kind and lovely human being. And to top it all off, she's so good with kids. We will continue to go to back to her over and over to capture our family and would strongly recommend her to anyone else who was looking to do the same.”

FAQ

  • 15-20 minute sessions, offered at a designated day and place, designed to take all the prep work out of planning a family shoot for you!

  • These mini sessions are shot entirely on film photography - yes, film rolls, the old school style! The rolls are then shipped and processed by a professional lab. You will receive the digital versions in your final gallery.

  • My passion is to create something for your family that goes a little deeper than the typical holiday card photo. Something interesting and artful; something you want to hang on the wall, that your kids will cherish 30 years from now. Film has a unique way of capturing life with a nostalgic tone that I’ve grown to love and I trust you will too, once you see your family captured on this beautiful format!

  • These sessions are shot entirely on film photography - the rate includes 30 black and white images, 30 color copies, and 1 polaroid to take home with you. The photos are sent to you ~2 weeks after your session on a private, downloadable gallery.

  • Locations will change based on the season, but are typically at parks and beaches in the Seattle area. During winter months I typically host them at an indoor natural light studio.

  • Anyone who wants one! The short duration works particularly well for kids age 0-4.

  • Although booking deposits are non-refundable, I provide several options upfront to move your session. When you book your shoot, take note of the make-up shoot date which will be reserved in advance for anyone who needs to move their mini session. Additionally you can always put your deposit towards another type of session, or the next round of minis.

  • Yes! Except for the studio minis - they have a no pets allowed policy. Most other shoots are at local beaches and parks and pets are totally welcome.
