Simple Sophistication
Here’s the thing: life is full of fleeting moments, and sometimes it feels like they’re gone before you even realize it.
Small Sessions are designed to help you capture these moments before they pass by. In just 20 minutes, we’ll create images that freeze time, so you can look back on these memories for years to come.
Because someday, these small moments will be all you have left. Let’s make sure they’re captured beautifully.
You’ve been meaning to get those family photos but can’t seem to find the time for a full session. Let’s make memories without the pressure!
You’re a senior ready to celebrate your achievements and capture that “I’m almost an adult!” moment in just 20 minutes of fun.
You’re expecting & want maternity photos that capture the beauty of your journey — intimate & full of anticipation—without the time commitment of a full session.
You’ve just welcomed your little one and want newborn photos that feel as cozy and tender as those first cuddles—effortless, natural, & full of love.
Small Sessions are the perfect middle ground—think of them as the Goldilocks of photo shoots. Not too long, not too short—just the right amount of time to get gorgeous images without the stress of a full session or the rush of a mini session. Available from January to June only, these 20-minute sessions are ideal for maternity, seniors , family, and newborn photos . *Note, small sessions are not available for branding, headshots,
on the lake, and extended family photos. Newborn sessions are limited to the small session locations and may NOT be done at your home. Small session newborns are outdoor or at the Lumen Room Studio.
You’ll get 17 beautifully edited digital images, all ready for you to download and cherish (plus more available to purchase if you wish). Quick, fun, and easy—these sessions are designed to capture your moments without taking up too much time. Whether you're expecting a little one, celebrating a milestone, or just want to document your family’s journey,
Small Sessions have you covered.
Small Sessions include 5 of my favorite location choices: Brushy Creek, Woodlands Park, Bull Creek, Commons Ford Ranch, & the Lumen Room. These provide the perfect backdrop to highlight the connection & love of your family...bathed in beautiful light of course!
My style guide is easy to read with great tips to help you prepare for the shoot. No need to stress! In addition, you'll have access to my Online Style Assistant, Style & Select. Plus you can always text me photos of your outfits if you want me to weigh in & share my thoughts.
Small Sessions include 17 high-res digital images of your choice. Your gallery will showcase both color & black & white for you to choose from. Additional digital images as well as prints will be available for purchase. Delivery is via Pic-Time for easy sharing.
"I had an absolutely incredible experience working with Lindsay! From the moment we met, she was so kind and welcoming, making the entire shoot feel relaxed and enjoyable. Her professionalism shined through as she guided us through different poses and settings making sure every detail was perfect. What really stood out to me was her artistic eye. She captured stunning photos from unique angles, playing with lighting and backgrounds and ways that truly brought the pictures to life. The results were beyond my expectations. Each photograph had the perfect lighting, tone and composition. I am beyond thrilled with how they turned out! If you’re looking for a talented and professional photographer look no further. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer and can’t recommend her enough. "

They aren't a full session, or a mini session. They are a hybrid in-between and are only available January-June. They offer more time than a mini session, plus more flexibility with dates & locations, but aren't as expensive as a full session! Available for family, newborn, maternity, & seniors. Full payment due at the time of booking.
Here’s how it works: Believe it or not, in just 20 minutes, we’ll capture it all—playful moments, posed shots, and everything in between. I’ll get photos of the whole family together, individual portraits, siblings together, kids with each parent, and even a sweet moment of just you two. It’s quick, fun, and leaves nothing out!
Then, in two weeks (or less!), I’ll send you an email with a link to a slideshow featuring all your fully-edited images. Your gallery will include both color and black-and-white versions of each image for you to preview. However, when it comes to your 17 digital downloads, each selection counts as one download—so if you choose the color version, the black-and-white version would need to be selected separately to count as one of your 17. I leave the selection of photos up to you - this way, you can customize your downloads to match your style perfectly!
Take your time enjoying the slideshow (pro tip - make it an event and bring the whole fam into view it...including popcorn is an added bonus 🍿), then pick the collection that best fits your budget and photography needs. Just a little heads up—individual photos aren’t available a-la-carte. To access additional images, you’ll need to upgrade to either Set II or Set III.
Once you’ve chosen your collection, you’ll have two weeks to finalize your selections. Whether you’re downloading digital files, ordering beautiful prints to display, or a mix of both, it’s all about creating the perfect keepsakes for your memories.
And just like that, your cherished moments will be ready to enjoy for years to come! ✨
When booking Small Sessions, please note that these are shorter sessions at a pre-set location, date, and time.
To make the most of our time together, I recommend arriving 5 minutes early to ensure everyone is ready and comfortable. 😊
Small Sessions are limited to a maximum of 6 people—no exceptions.
