The Session Fee
The session fee is paid up front to reserve your time slot. This fee covers the planning and preparation of your session, permit fees, my time photographing your family, and securing your spot on my calendar. It does not include digital images or artwork, that part comes later when you choose your collection.
The Collections
When your photos are ready, you will receive an online gallery to view all of your edited images. From there, you’ll select the collection that feels right for you based on how many images you’d like. Each collection also comes with artwork credit, which you can use in the gallery store toward prints, holiday cards, calendars, matted prints, albums, ornaments, and keepsakes or gifts.

The artwork credit is my way of making sure your memories don’t just live on a screen, they become tangible pieces you can hold, frame, and enjoy for years to come.
Mini sessions are happening and availability is limited. Once the spots are gone, they’re gone until the next round. Everything is booked on a first-come, first-served basis through the direct booking link at the bottom of this page, so if you’ve been dreaming of fresh family photos (or that holiday card shot), now’s the time to snag your spot before they sell out!

(and mom of two) I bring patience, an artistic eye, and years of experience working with kids of all ages and abilities. I love creating timeless, love-filled images that feel real and true to your family, without ever being stiff or forced.
A little about me? I’m a total crime junkie. I’ll have a podcast on while editing sessions, folding laundry, or tackling dishes. If you spot me outside of work, there’s a good chance I’m walking my black lab or heading to a Pilates class with a giant 40 ounces of water in hand.

Hi, I'm amy
ini sessions are such a sweet way to hit pause and capture this season—sandy toes, silly faces, belly laughs, and all. As a seasoned photographer,

"The whole experience with Amy was super comfortable and easy. It only took 20 minutes, which is the most my kids (or husband, let's be real ) will tolerate. I was scared we wouldn't get any good photos because we aren't used to having pictures taken other than our wedding, but we got a lot of great ones! I really wish we had done our photos earlier so we had good pictures with our kids when they were littler. We will definitely be using Amy again to do our family photos!"
Mini Sessions
FAQs About the
Q: Who are these mini sessions for?
A: Mini sessions are perfect for families who want a quick and easy way to capture updated photos, without committing to a full session. They’re great for parents with little ones (short and sweet is best!), holiday cards, announcements, or anyone who just wants a taste of the Amy Captures Love experience. They are not recommended for extended family sessions. $25 per person for family members added outside of the immediate family of 5 or more.
Q: How much is required up front to reserve my spot?
A: Your mini session is officially reserved once the session fee is paid. This fee covers your time slot and secures your place on my calendar.
Q: How & when will I receive my gallery?
A: You’ll receive a beautiful, fully edited online gallery within 2 weeks of your session. From there, you can choose your favorite images and decide on a collection that fits your needs best.
Q: How do collections work?
A: After your gallery is ready, you’ll get to choose from three different collections based on how many images you’d like to keep. Each collection also includes artwork credit to spend in the gallery store. That way, you only invest in what feels right for you once you’ve seen your photos.
Q: What is the artwork credit?
A: Each collection comes with a complimentary artwork credit. Think of it as “free money” you can use in the gallery store toward prints, matted prints, albums, holiday cards, ornaments, or keepsakes. It’s my way of helping you turn your digital memories into something tangible you can hold, hang, and enjoy every day.
This cozy studio setup features a beautiful tree and present installation, giving your photos that festive holiday feel in a timeless, styled space. It’s the perfect mix of polished and playful for holiday cards. Heated, air conditioned, plenty of free parking = totally hassle free!
