Why Mini Sessions Are Perfect for Busy Families
Boulder Flower Farm Minis
If you're a busy parent in Boulder or Denver areas of Colorado, the thought of planning a full family photo session might feel overwhelming. Between school drop-offs, soccer practice, baseball practice, music lessons etc and trying to get everyone to ready and keep your family happy for a 60 minutes sessions, it’s no wonder many families put off updating their family photos.
That’s where mini sessions come in — and let me tell you, they’re a game-changer.
As a family photographer based in Erie, Colorado and serving the Boulder area and beyond, I’ve designed mini sessions specifically with busy Colorado families in mind. Whether you're after updated fall family photos, flower field portraits, or just a quick and beautiful snapshot of this season of life, here’s why booking a mini session might be the perfect fit for you.
Boulder Flower Farm Minis
1. Mini Sessions Are Quick and Efficient
Mini sessions are typically 15–20 minutes long — just enough time to capture connection, personality, and love without testing anyone’s patience (especially toddlers and dads!).
That means you can schedule your session between soccer and dinner, and still get gorgeous, frame-worthy images in record time.
2. Ideal for Updating Family Photos
Maybe your youngest lost their baby teeth, or your teen suddenly looks like they’re off to college. Life moves fast — mini sessions offer a low-stress way to keep your family photo gallery up to date.
Most families use these for:
Holiday cards
Grandparent gifts
Yearly photo books
Fresh social media or home wall prints
And I make sure to plan mini sessions in the best locations with the least traffic! One of my all time favorite locations… Boulder Flower Farm in Longmont where the entire space is only ours! You get JUST me and YOU. No hikers walking by, No competing for spots with other local photographers AND guaranteed gorgeous space for stunning images.
3. Lower Investment, Big Value
Mini sessions are a budget-friendly option for families who want professional photography without the cost of a full session. You still get access to my signature editing style, posing guidance, and beautiful location — just in a shorter, more affordable format.
4. Scenic Colorado Locations – Curated for You
You don’t have to scout for the perfect spot — I’ve already done the legwork! My seasonal mini sessions are set in hand-picked locations throughout the Boulder metro area that offer stunning views, easy parking, and ideal lighting.
From babbling brooks to golden aspen trees in the fall to wildflower fields in summer, every location is chosen to highlight your family in the most beautiful way.
5. Perfect for Busy Schedules
With limited time slots and quick turnaround, mini sessions are ideal for:
Families with young kids or babies
Working parents with tight schedules
Divorced or blended families coordinating co-parenting calendars
Last-minute planners (yes, there’s still time!)
6. They’re Fun!
One of the best compliments I get after mini sessions is: "That was so much easier than I expected!"
Kids laugh, parents relax, and everyone leaves with a smile.
I guide you through it all — from gentle posing to prompts that help you connect and have fun — so even the most camera-shy feel at ease.
