Fall Holiday Mini Session

I have begun planning for the studio’s beautiful fall + holiday mini sessions & I cannot wait to share the progress as I go, both right here & on my socials.

As a reminder, our sessions, I handle all the details – from what to wear to complimentary refreshments & kid‑friendly entertainment to guiding you through poses that feel natural – so you can relax & focus on making memories.

After your mini session, we will preview your images the same day & choose any additional images, heirloom artwork options, including framed prints, albums, & our signature vintage retro viewers, you would like to add, to showcase your portraits for generations.


FALL MINI SESSIONS IN OCTOBER
Embrace the cozy glow of autumn by booking a fall session outdoors or in my private custom‑built, natural‑light studio on our property in Rhome, Texas – complete with every amenity to make your experience effortless & luxurious. In studio – you’ll enjoy professional styling guidance & hand‑painted backdrops that capture the warmth of fall without braving unpredictable weather.

The studio’s spacious layout features comfortable seating, a private changing suite, climate control, & elegant touches for statement portraits. I handle all the details – from complimentary refreshments & kid‑friendly entertainment to guiding you through poses that feel natural – so you can relax & focus on making memories.

Reserve a fall mini session for OCTOBER & let’s create timeless images that celebrate the season’s golden magic in complete comfort:

HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS FOR NOVEMBER
I’m building a completely custom holiday setup for our holiday minis this year, where clients can step into a winter wonderland, designed to bring a touch of magic & elegance to your holiday portraits.

The natural-light studio will be transformed into a serene holiday scene, complete with cozy textures, glowing details, & space for both posed & candid moments. You’ll have access to a client wardrobe curated just for the season, styling support, & a warm, calm environment that makes the entire experience feel joyful & relaxed.

CLASSIQUE SIGNATURE SESSIONS THROUGH THE END OF 2025
Booking a full custom session is the ideal choice when you want a truly personalized photography experience that’s centered entirely around you. Unlike quick minis, a full session gives us time to slow down, get creative, & capture a wide range of images – whether that means outfit changes, multiple backdrops, meaningful props, & more.

You’ll enjoy the full use of my private, natural-light studio, access to my curated wardrobe & styling guidance, & the flexibility to create something uniquely yours. From fall or holiday, maternity to motherhood, personal branding to heirloom family portraits, a full session ensures every detail is thoughtfully planned & beautifully documented, with enough time to feel comfortable, confident, & fully seen. If you’re looking for lasting images that reflect your story with depth, beauty, and intention – a CLASSIQUE SIGNATURE SESSION is for you:
