First Mini Session Day!

What are Mini Session Days?


These are days perfect for the busy family trying to get everything done but with little time.


You pick a time slot on my mini session day, arrive at the predetermined location with the props and things already set up, take a few pictures, and get your gallery within a few days! Most minis are promised for 20 minutes, but often can be completed with even less time than that!


No having to spend hours, sometimes days, planning where to meet, what to bring, or how the session will look - all that is already planned!


So for about 20 minutes and a discounted price, you get caught up on family photos, couples photos, or in this case, back to school photos!

These Back to School Minis were a first for Photography by Melanie -

but I loved them so much I plan to make them a reoccurring feature!

I love using prompts to get kids excited for their photos and to bring out some great expressions!


One of my favorites for this Mini Day: Pencil mustache!

(don't worry, each kiddo got to pick the pencil they wanted to use and keep it! The rest, along with the whole setup, were fully sanitized before the next session!)
