Fall Mini Sessions | DMV Family Photography

July 28, 2025 Ginny Thomas

I can’t believe it either—but it’s that time of year again! The air is starting to shift (yes, even if just a little), and that golden, glowy fall light will be here before we know it. Which means…

Fall Mini Sessions are officially OPEN for booking!

These sessions are some of my most requested of the entire year—and for good reason! With the changing leaves, cozy sweaters, and all those “just one good photo for the holiday card” vibes, it’s the perfect excuse to get the family together for a quick update.

🧡 What’s a Fall Mini Session?

My mini sessions are short and sweet (just 15 minutes!) and designed to get those few magical shots you need without the pressure of a full session.

These are not your stiff, "everyone say cheese" photos. We’ll laugh, play, and move quickly to get those authentic, joyful moments—whether it’s the kids being silly, a quiet hug between you and your partner, or that one giggle you didn’t know would melt your heart.

DETAILS

15-MINUTE SESSION $249
These shorter sessions take place at one location
5 digital images included - option to purchase individual images or the full gallery: $49/additional image or $200 for full gallery

I know this time of year gets busy fast…
and somehow “we should take photos” keeps getting pushed.

That’s exactly why I offer these.

Short, easy, no overthinking.

Happy Easter! All the Easter traditions- egg hunts, dying eggs, and of course the bunny cake and so much more.

Peace to all this Easter! 🐰🌸

The cherry blossoms may have peaked, but it's not over! 

I promise, the rest of spring is still on it's way and waiting to show off!

It sounded way more fun than “let’s get outside because mommy wants to take pictures of flowers!” But he was game, especially when I gave him a “real camer

I took a little drive-through Kenwood this morning to see these beauties! 🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕

Not something in a box.
Not something that shows up two days later and gets tucked away.

Spring is starting to show off a little 🌿🌸

Tiny pops of green, those first blooms, kids actually wanting to be outside again… it’s that sweet in-between moment where everything feels a little lighter.

Which makes it a really fun time
Okay, 13… how did we get here so fast?! (I know, I know- every parent says that but it's true!) 

We are officially in the teenage years (and obviously that calls for a 13 photo shoot… complete with a little brother who refuses to stay
