Family Mini Session Photography
Mini sessions are a relaxed and thoughtful way to capture meaningful moments with your family throughout the year. Each session is carefully planned to feel calm, joyful, and easy so families can simply enjoy being together while creating timeless images.
Mini sessions are intentionally structured to keep things light and stress free. With gentle guidance and simple prompts, children are encouraged to be themselves, allowing natural connection and genuine expression to shine through. These sessions are perfect for families who want beautiful images without a lengthy time commitment.
Mini session dates and themes vary by season and are offered in limited quantities. Pricing and availability are announced prior to each release
Held in natural outdoor settings, spring mini sessions capture fresh light, movement, and connection as families enjoy the changing season.
Fall mini sessions take place in classic outdoor locations and focus on warm tones, natural interaction, and timeless family moments.
These festive sessions are designed to feel cozy and nostalgic, capturing joyful moments among the trees in a simple and timeless setting.
The Santa Experience is a thoughtfully paced fifteen minute session designed to feel magical rather than rushed. Children have time to read a book, interact with Santa, write a letter, and enjoy a personalized cookie from Santa. This experience allows space for genuine moments and meaningful connection.

Erika took our family photos, and they turned out incredible! I love them so much, they’ve been hanging on our wall year-round ever since. She was a natural at wrangling the kids and capturing their personalities which made everything super easy and surprisingly fun. Definitely recommend Erika!
Erika has taken pictures of all of our newborns. I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Erika Kelly Photography. From the moment we arrived for our newborn session, she made us feel so comfortable and cared for. Her studio was warm, peaceful and perfectly set up for our baby - she truly thought of everything!

"I can’t rave enough about my children’s heirloom photos by Erika. She has done all three of my children’s heirlooms at different sessions and ages, and I am always blown away by her patience and kindness with them as well as the quality of work. I will always cherish her photos. Erika is such a beautiful person inside and out, and she is a joy to work with!

The best Santa photos and experience! This will be our 3rd year doing Erika's Santa Experience, and my kids look forward to it every year. A few years ago, we decided we wanted more than just a hurried photo with Santa. My kids wanted to talk to Santa, tell him what they wanted for Christmas, etc. Erika creates an experience that allows for the magic of a conversation and time spent with Santa. She then does an amazing job at capturing that magic and excitement. We treasure these photos each year, they’re priceless memories. I highly recommend Erika’s Santa Experience session!

A mini session is a shorter photography experience designed to capture meaningful moments in a simple and relaxed way. These sessions are thoughtfully planned to allow families to enjoy the experience while creating timeless images.
Mini sessions are brief and typically last around fifteen minutes. The shorter timeframe helps keep children engaged while still allowing for beautiful, authentic moments.
Mini sessions are held at carefully selected outdoor locations or themed settings, depending on the season. Locations are chosen to complement a timeless and classic look.
A styling guide is provided for all mini sessions to help families feel confident and prepared. The client closet is reserved exclusively for heirloom sessions.
Each mini session includes a curated gallery of images. Full details are shared when each mini session is released.
Mini session availability is announced seasonally and offered in limited quantities. Booking details, pricing, and scheduling information are shared prior to each release. Please join my emai list for more information.
I began photographing families in 2020 during the Front Porch Project, and what started as a way to serve my community quickly became a calling. My background in early childhood education shapes the way I approach each session, blending patience, intention, and gentle guidance. Families are supported every step of the way, creating an experience that feels seamless and results in timeless, meaningful artwork.
