Newborn Mini vs. Full Session: What’s the Difference?
Both Full and Mini Newborn Sessions offer a custom, luxury experience — but they differ in format. A Full Session usually lasts 3 to 4 hours and includes family and sibling portraits, offering a wider variety of poses and transitions, and complimentary hair and makeup for mom. In comparison, a Newborn Mini stays focused on your baby and wraps up in about 2-3 hours. Although the structure is simpler, the level of care, styling, and emotional impact remain just as strong. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your goals and how much variety you’d like.
A Full Session offers more variety, while a Mini keeps things simple and focused. The right choice depends on your goals. You can compare session options here on the Investment page if you’re still deciding.

What’s Included in a Newborn Mini Session in Birmingham
This baby-only session is $890 and includes a generous $700 product credit to help you create something beautiful.
✓ Baby-only session ( 2-3 hours)
We follow your baby’s cues and keep the session calm and gentle. These sessions focus entirely on your newborn — no sibling or family poses — which helps us maintain a smoother rhythm throughout. Full-term babies are considered for newborn sessions up to 6 weeks from due date.
✓ Fully Styled Sets
Before your session, you’ll complete a short styling questionnaire to share your favorite colors, preferred poses, and favorite props. I’ll use those details to design beautifully coordinated sets from our curated collection, all thoughtfully prepared before you arrive. It’s a peaceful, highly personalized experience that allows you to simply show up and enjoy — knowing everything has been chosen with care just for your baby.
✓ 20-30 image gallery + reveal video
Two weeks after your session, you’ll return for a custom ordering appointment. You’ll view your gallery in a heartfelt video set to music, complete with behind-the-scenes footage and your baby’s finished portraits. It’s a favorite part of the experience — and one that makes many families emotional.
✓ $700 product credit
Each Newborn Mini includes a $700 credit to apply toward your favorite products or digitals. As a result, many families choose a digital package, framed wall art, or an heirloom album to display these early memories.

I am married to the love of my life who has recently retired from the Army. We are back “home” after being away for 21 years. We have 3 young boys and 1 daughter who is pursuing her college career. As a photographer, I specialize in the newborns and maternity portraits. I just love the amazing process of pregnancy and then having that sweet, new bundle of joy to love. Capturing all that is so important and I feel so blessed to be a part of this special time in my client’s lives.
