Mini Sessions with Lisa Poseley Photography
Fall Family Minis | Tree Farm Minis | Holiday Minis | Santa Minis
Whether you're updating your family photos, celebrating a milestone, or creating special holiday memories, we offer high-end mini sessions in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities metro area.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve perfected the art of creating timeless, stress-free sessions that families love. These sessions are long enough to make a beautiful gallery, but short enough to keep little ones engaged and not test the patience of the older ones. Each session is carefully planned to offer a fun and relaxed experience while capturing the moments that matter most to you.
In the spring, we offer family mini sessions in beautiful gardens at parks in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnetonka, Chanhassen, Maple Grove, Blaine, Bloomington, and more!

Imagine your child’s delight as they meet Santa in a private, storybook setting, away from holiday crowds. At our Minneapolis studio, your family will experience a personal encounter with a real-bearded Santa, capturing the spirit of the season with moments that become lifelong memories.
Our sessions include fine-art, storybook-quality edits that bring each photo to life, capturing the joy and wonder of the holidays. From finding their name on Santa’s “nice list” to reading a Christmas storybook or sharing a festive cookie, each moment is thoughtfully crafted to preserve genuine smiles and holiday magic.

“Lisa was the perfect photographer to choose for newborn photos of our son. As first time parents, she made us feel at ease immediately. We could tell right away she was a mother herself and found ourselves soaking up all the advice we could while watching her take beautiful photos we will cherish for a lifetime. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and the experience was better than we could have hoped for. We will definitely be going to her for future photos of our family."

"My family had an awesome experience during our one year old photo session with Lisa. She demonstrated patience, professionalism, kindness and the utmost care for us. When my daughter was crying almost through out her photoshoot and my 3 year old was running all over the place, I was ompletely overwhelmed and worried that we may have much time to take more photos. She offered to have us come over the next to complete it and to me, that was impressive and yes all the pictures came out so beautifully. I would 1000 percent recommend her and you will definately have a great experience. Thank you Lisa!!!"
