Bring your cute little goblins to practice their “Trick or Treat” skills and have their photo taken at the Pinkle Toes porch (which will be all decked out by the super talented Julie Rodgers)! As always, I’ll be posting sneak peeks of the set HERE, so be sure to follow along.

I will contact you after booking to help you finalize your session time. You only need to book one session for your child(ren) and you will have the option to purchase additional files if you choose after you see the unedited proofs. Due to the nature of these mini sessions, fees are non-refundable and not transferrable to another session.

Doesn’t our little model totally look like she’s at some RV campground in Florida? ;-). Just did a test run for the Retro Pool Minis coming up this weekend and thought I’d share the results. I’ve got a couple of openings left for Saturday, but if that won’t work for you and you really wanted to play, contact me anyway and let’s see if we can figure out another date. Deets and booking info HERE!

UPDATE – SPECIAL ENCORE: July 27, 28, and 30th at the Pinkle Toes Studio in Manor

 

July 21-23 SPECIAL ENCORE: July 27, 28, and 30th at the Pinkle Toes Studio in Manor

[If those dates absolutely will not work for you, contact me about other options].




Ohhhhhhh! We are breaking out the kiddie pool, astroturf, and plastic flamingos to have an all out retro pool party for the littles and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate summertime! We’ll be working close to sunset (6:00-8:00 p.m.), so keep that in mind when deciding which date will be best for your children. I will contact you after booking to help you select your date and time and provide wardrobe advice. You only need to book one session for your child(ren) and you will have the option to purchase additional files if you choose after you see the unedited proofs. Due to the nature of these mini sessions, fees are non-refundable and not transferrable to another session.

As a way to celebrate things that are iconically American AND help support the United Service Organization, I’m pleased to offer these kids-only, Americana mini sessions this weekend and next. A little vintage and a lot patriotic, the Americana minis will be held outside (weather permitting) at the Pinkle Toes studio/property and yes, we will have watermelon on hand ;-). We’ll be working close to sunrise (6:30- 8:30 a.m.) or sunset (7-8:30 p.m.), so keep that in mind when deciding which date will be best for your children. I will contact you after booking to help you select your date and time and provide wardrobe advice. You only need to book one session for your child(ren) and you will have the option to purchase additional files if you choose after you see the unedited proofs. Due to the nature of these mini sessions, fees are non-refundable and not transferrable to another session.

Did you hear the good news? We’re bringing the Heirloom Mini Sessions BACK this weekend for an encore! Follow that link for details and to book. I truly had an amazing time photographing kiddos last week in their classic best, plus, it’s always nice to have an excuse to bring out the famous purple couch ;-). Wanted to pop onto the blog to share two examples from last week to show what can be done sans wedding dress or tuxedo…

And then there’s this dapper gentleman who I have been photographing since he was 18 months old. I kept having to stop and dab the tears during the session because he played the role so well and looked SO grown up!

Again, you can review details and book your Heirloom Mini Session for your child(ren) this weekend HERE. You can request the date and approximate time and I’ll work you in.

May 26-28, 2017 

Special Encore: Thursday, June 1st

and then

Saturday thru Monday June 3rd-5th, 2017

at the Pinkle Toes Studio

I am *really* excited about this round of mini sessions because I’ve been wanting to do something like this for years! This is your opportunity to have your child photographed in your wedding dress or wedding tux or other fancy clothes to create heirloom-quality images to share on their own wedding day or other special occasion. We have ideas for children of all ages (even infants). Oh, and if you don’t have wedding clothes on hand, no worries! I will have a bunch of goodies including a veil, pearls, gloves, dress hats, tuxedo/suit jackets and ties for your child to play dress up in at the studio.

Book quickly as these sessions are going to fill up quickly.




April 21-23 & 28-30 at the Pinkle Toes Studio





Upon booking, I will get in touch so you can select your session date and time. If none of these dates will work for you, but you really wanted your child(ren) to play, contact me anyway and we’ll see if we can figure something else out. Selected/purchased images will be emailed to you within a few days after the session! (See additional details below).

  • Mini sessions are kids-only…no exceptions.
  • Session fee covers children in the same family (siblings only); we cannot combine sessions with other families.
  • If you would like to look into booking a full session for 2017 to get the special mini session perks, I will send you the session information.
  • Sorry, but if you have moved a session originally scheduled prior to 2017, the special perks do not apply.
  • Due to the nature of these sessions, fees are non-refundable.

Stay tuned on Instagram and Facebook for more sneak peeks!
