DOCUMENTARY MINI SESSIONS


A focused introduction to a different way of photographing your family.


These are not traditional, stylized  mini sessions.  They’re a short-form documentary experience.

Most mini sessions are built around themed backdrops and quick, impersonal poses.  

These aren’t.


These sessions are guided, but not staged.


You’ll interact. Move. Settle in. Be with your kids. And I'll photograph what unfolds.


If you’ve been curious about documentary photography but unsure about booking a full session, this is the perfect starting point.

MINI SESSIONS ARE:


• 20-30 minute sessions within Calgary or Okotoks

• Offered on select days with limited availability

• Designed as an introduction to my approach — gentle direction, then observation


They Include:

• 10 edited digital images

• Private online gallery for viewing and downloading

• Planning guide with simple preparation tips

• Session credit applied toward a full session booked within 6 months


These sessions focus on one moment spent together. If you’re looking for more time, more space, and a fuller story of your family, a full documentary session offers that depth.
