Mini Sessions in St. Augustine
Short, seasonal sessions at curated beach locations. Big results in less time.
What Are Mini Sessions?
Mini sessions are short, styled photo sessions at a curated location on set dates. Think of them as a greatest-hits version of a full family session — 20-30 minutes, one beautiful spot, and a gallery of edited images delivered within two weeks.
We pick the location, handle the setup, and schedule sessions back-to-back during golden hour. You show up, have fun, and walk away with photos you'll actually want to frame. They're perfect for families who want professional photos without the full time commitment — or for returning clients who want a quick seasonal update.
Seasonal Mini Sessions We Offer
Christmas & Holiday Minis
Our most popular mini session. Beach Christmas trees, festive props, and golden hour light at Vilano Beach. Perfect for holiday cards. Typically offered November through early December.
Fall Beach Minis
Warm light, cooler temps, and the beach to yourselves. October evenings in St. Augustine are some of the best for photography — no crowds, soft light, and comfortable weather.
Spring Minis
Blooming gardens and long evenings. We love shooting spring minis at Washington Oaks or along the beach when the sea oats are lush and green.

Mini Session FAQs
Mini sessions are 20-30 minutes at a single curated location. That's enough time for family groupings, individual shots, and candid moments—without the time commitment of a full session.
We offer seasonal mini sessions throughout the year — typically for Nights of Lights (November-January), spring blooms, and summer beach evenings. Dates are announced a few weeks in advance. Sign up above to be the first to know.
You'll receive 15-25 fully edited images delivered via online gallery within two weeks. Print rights are always included.
We provide a curated setup at each mini session — think Christmas trees on the beach, seasonal flowers, or styled blankets. You're welcome to bring small personal items, but the setup is part of what makes minis special.
If you realize you want a longer session, we're happy to talk about our full family sessions starting at $400. Many of our mini session clients graduate to full sessions after their first experience with us.
