Mini Sessions
A mini session is a short, thoughtfully designed photo experience that captures beautiful moments in a simple, stress-free way. These sessions are typically short, held on select dates, and feature a styled setup or seasonal theme. They’re perfect for families who want updated photos without committing to a full session, offering a curated experience, a set number of edited images, and a more accessible price point.

FAQ
When I should choose a mini session instead of full session?
A mini session is a great choice if you’re looking for a quick, simple way to capture updated photos without committing to a full-length experience. It’s perfect for families with young children who may have shorter attention spans, for milestone updates, or if you love the seasonal theme and styled setup being offered. If you’re hoping for more variety in locations, outfits, or a fully customized experience with more time and flexibility, a full session would be the better fit.
How does the booking process work from start to finish?
Once you choose your preferred time slot, you’ll complete a quick online booking form and sign a contract to secure your session. A retainer (or full payment, depending on your package) is required at the time of booking. After that, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details, including location info, what to wear tips, and how to prepare. On the day of your session, simply arrive a few minutes early and enjoy a relaxed, guided experience. Within a couple of weeks, your edited images will be delivered in an online gallery where you can download your included photos and choose to upgrade to the full gallery if you’d like.
How many final images can we expect to receive?
You can expect to receive 10 professionally edited, high-resolution images included with your mini session. Each image is carefully selected and enhanced to reflect the best moments from your time together. You’ll also have the option to upgrade and purchase the full gallery if you’d like to keep every captured memory.
Can we purchase additional images and upgrade to the full gallery?
Yes, absolutely. You’ll have the option to purchase additional images directly from your gallery after it’s delivered. If you find it hard to choose (which often happens!), you can also upgrade to the full gallery and receive all the edited images from your session for an additional fee.
Testimonials
I can't say enough great things about our wonderful engagement photoshoot with Kavya. We had to wait on the weather, but she was happy to work with our schedules and chase the sun when it came out. She hiked out with us through the redwoods and we caught the last light of the day. My fiancé and I are not used to being in front of the camera but Kavya made it easy with great instructions, fun props, and a professional but personable approach. I wouldn't call myself the most emotional but some of her photos had me near happy tears. These are photos that will be cherished a lifetime.
Allison S.
We had such a fun time during our couple session with Kavya. She made our experience feel relaxed and light hearted while staying organized and professional. She has an amazing eye for locations and knew exactly where to get the best backdrop of the redwoods. We were truly impressed on the quality of our photos and how quickly we received them. We highly recommend Kavya and we look forward to working with her again in the future!

I reached out to Kavya 2 days before our family trip to CA and she was able to fit us in last minute. She was so accommodating with the day and location. During the session, our toddler was not in the best mood but she was so patient and turned lemons into lemonade. The pictures came out gorgeous! She was such a pleasure to work with - highly recommend!
