LSP Family Session - Short & Sweet

$500.00

I hear you: your kids, your partner—or maybe you yourself—are just not into the idea of a full photo session. You want something short and sweet, maybe you “just need one good one” for a holiday card, or maybe you just want to remember this particular season of life. Welp, this one’s for you: a short & sweet weekday session designed to be quick, painless...but still full of heart.

  • 30 minute session 

  • 30 edited images, hand-selected by me (no add-ons or swaps - and truly, just 30 images)

  • Weekdays only

  • Limited location options:

→ Highland Park

→ My studio

→ Your home (because sometimes real life is the best backdrop)


Great for quick family updates, reluctant photo subjects, or folks who just want a few solid frames to remember this season by.

Please, not for newborn sessions or extended family sessions.

And pssst: some advice? If you know your kiddos take a lot of time to warm up, this may not be for you.

If you're looking for a weekend date, more location flexibility, or a full gallery —check out a Full Family Session instead!

This session fee is non-refundable, but is transferable to another date if rescheduling becomes necessary. Reschedules must occur within 2 months from the original date.

  • Short & Sweet sessions are only available on weekdays, but the time of day is up to you!

    For golden hour lighting, we'll typically be looking at starting 45 minutes from sunset at Highland Park.

    For studio sessions, the timing is much more flexible - but the best window is usually 2 hours after sunrise - 2 hours before sunset.

  • Short & Sweet sessions are designed to be simple and efficient. They’re perfect for families who want updated photos without a long time commitment, and they’re more budget friendly. These sessions move at an easy but intentional pace, focusing on a handful of natural moments and connections.

    They’re ideal for:

    • quick seasonal updates

    • younger kids with short attention spans

    • families who want a low-key experience, or who don’t need a lot of variety

    Think of Short & Sweet sessions as a small but meaningful snapshot of this moment in time!

    If you prefer more time, a weekend date, location flexibility, or a full gallery, I’d suggest a full Family session.

  • Small (“mini”) sessions are offered on specific dates at a set location and are often styled or themed (such as holiday sessions or special floral installations in-studio). Because they’re scheduled back-to-back, they move at a more structured pace.

    At a glance:

    • Short & Sweet → weekday-only, individually scheduled, limited location options, 30 minute session length, 30 image gallery included

    • Small (“mini”) → set dates & location, usually styled or themed, limited availability, slightly shorter session, smaller included gallery with upgrade options

    Both sessions are designed intentionally, the differences are in scheduling, flexibility, styling, and how much structure you prefer.

  • I’m always surprised and inspired by what my clients come up with! Truly, wear what feels like you. If you’re comfortable and confident, it will show. These sessions are about documenting connection, not perfection, and hopefully that notion brings you some peace.

    That said, here are a few things that usually work beautifully on camera:

    • Solids and neutrals

    • A mix of textures, a variety of patterns/scale of patterns

    • Punchy colors that add life

    • Natural, soft fabrics, dresses with movement

    And a few things to skip if possible:

    • Clothing with big logos, text, or busy graphics

    • Lots and lots of black - I feel the urge to dress myself like an Addams family member every single day, but too much black can suck the light and detail out of your outfits

    • Matchy-matchy outfits — coordinating tones always look more natural and intentional

    If you think you need more help with styling, I totally get it- I HIGHLY suggest connecting with local stylist Vivien Reed, she is incredible.

  • For Short & Sweet sessions, you’ll receive a curated gallery of 30 finished, edited, high resolution images.

  • Galleries for Short & Sweet sessions are delivered in about 2 weeks.
