This fall season, I’m offering three exclusive dates for mini-sessions at one of my favorite local spots: Signature Bluffs Natural Area in Greeley. It’s quiet, beautiful, and ideal for a relaxed fall morning with your family.

These mini sessions are short and sweet—20 minutes of intentional connection and milestone family portraits. Just enough time to get all the key combinations without dragging it out for an hour.

If you plan to include grandparents or have a larger family with lots of combos, a full-hour session may be a better fit (or you can book two back-to-back mini-sessions). On average, each combo (individuals, all kids together, parents with kids, etc.) takes 2–5 minutes. That means in 20 minutes, we’ll typically capture:

• All the kids together
• Each child individually
• Parents together
• The whole family together

Sometimes we’ll have time to double-up on the combos for more choices in your proofs gallery—but only if everyone’s cooperative and the light is holding. Twenty minutes flies by, especially with littles!

✨ These are all early morning sessions because that’s when the light is softest and most flattering. I reserve Saturday evening sessions for full-hour golden hour portrait sessions both for families and high school seniors. If you need an evening time, feel free to inquire—just know I may recommend a full-hour session depending on availability.

💛 Want a Different Location?

At this time, I’m offering fall minis in Greeley.

However—I’m also taking location requests! If you’d love a session at Thomas Reservoir (Erie), Niwot Trailhead, or Golden Ponds (Longmont), I’d be happy to travel! (Minimum of 3 mini-sessions booked at that location is required because it’s an hour drive both directions from Greeley.)

You can comment below in the blog comments with your location request and I’ll reach out to you!

If you’d like more time, outfit changes, flexibility, or a custom location, I recommend booking a full-hour session instead and encourage you to reach out via my contact link.
