STYLE & APPROACH
Lifestyle Mini Sessions are all about connections and those candid moments. During sessions we use prompts to create real reactions.
**Traditional images with everyone looking at the camera can be obtained through one of our standard full family sessions. These full sessions can be a mixture of lifestyle and traditional with their longer portrait time being a benefit and outfit changes.
