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

Most people come into a photo session a little unsure.

They worry about feeling awkward.
They’re not sure how to pose.
They wonder if the photos will actually feel like them.

What I hear most often afterward is relief.

Relief that the proces

Some of the best Christmas moments aren’t the ones we plan.

On Sunday I woke up to laughter and the sound of gingerbread house decorating happening in the kitchen. I wasn’t even part of the plan. I just got to walk in and soak it up.
