Mini Session Photography
Spring, Fall, Holiday, and Santa Family Photos
Family photoshoots in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnetonka, Lake Elmo, Blaine, and more.
Family Mini Sessions: Fall, Spring, Holiday & Santa Photos
High-quality portraits without the time commitment of a full family photography session.
Whether you're updating your family photos, celebrating a milestone, or creating special holiday memories, we offer affordable, high-end mini sessions in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding areas of the Twin Cities metro.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve perfected the art of creating timeless, stress-free sessions that families love. Kids really enjoy these sessions—they’re long enough to create 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.
Each year, we offer Fall Family Photoshoots at some of the best parks for family photos in the Twin Cities, including Dodge Nature Center, Theodore Wirth Park, and Silverwood Park. In the spring, we offer family photo sessions in beautiful gardens at parks in Minneapolis, Edina, Blaine, and surrounding areas. For the holidays, we offer Christmas Mini-Sessions at a charming Tree Farm near Lake Elmo and Santa Mini-Sessions in our studio in Minneapolis. Many families choose to capture the season by booking more than one mini photo session yearly.

“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!!!"
