I spent the weekend shooting our Holiday Family Mini Sessions at Minter’s Christmas Tree Farm. Due to the nature of the location, I was surrounded by other photographers and their clients. Let me tell you—the amount of stress I saw, from both sides, was wild. Frantic parents, lost clients, overwhelmed photographers, and rushed sessions. It doesn’t have to be that way. Your photo session can be stress-free, enjoyable, and yes, even affordable. That’s why I felt compelled to write this post—to show you how working with a seasoned pro can make all the difference.

Here’s how hiring a professional ensures that your next photo session doesn’t suck.

Every year, the magic of the holidays reminds me why I’ve spent the last two decades behind the lens. There’s something special about families coming together, laughing, and sharing moments that feel effortless… but mean everything. This season, at Minter’s Christmas Tree Farm, I’ll have the privilege of capturing these moments during our Holiday Family Mini Sessions again. I’m looking forward to the magic.

It’s that time of year again! Join us for our 3rd annual Holiday Family Mini Sessions at Minter’s Christmas Tree Farm – a cozy and festive tradition perfect for the whole family. This year, we’re excited to welcome families back to Minter's on Thanksgiving morning (November 28th), Black Friday (all day, November 29th), and Saturday (all day, November 30th) for a holiday experience you won’t want to miss.
