Seattle Petite Sessions: Quick & Natural 25-Minute Photo Sessions
Effortless & Heartfelt Family + Maternity Photography
What Are Petite Photography Sessions?
I’ve had a lot of clients tell me they really want to fit in a photo session, but between packed calendars, unpredictable nap schedules, and preparing for the birth of their little one, a full session just feels like too much.
That’s exactly why I’m introducing Petite Sessions—a stress-free way to get beautiful, natural portraits in just 25 minutes. These Seattle photography sessions are longer and more flexible than a mini session but shorter than a full session, making them the perfect in-between option.
Unlike mini sessions, which are quick, back-to-back appointments on specific dates, Petite Sessions give you the freedom to choose a time and location that works best for your family.
Whether you’re documenting a growing family, celebrating milestones, or capturing your pregnancy, these sessions make professional photography super accessible and easy.
Petite vs. Mini Sessions: What’s the Difference?
While petite and Mini Sessions might sound alike, they’re actually pretty different! Mini Sessions are super quick—usually around 15 minutes—held on specific dates, and often have a seasonal theme.
Mini Sessions also move fast, with multiple families booked back-to-back. Petite Sessions offer a little more breathing room. With 25 minutes of photography, they allow for more variety in poses, location flexibility, and a relaxed experience. These are perfect for families, maternity photography, and milestone moments—available year-round (except in October when I’m fully booked with Fall Mini Sessions). Plus, they allow for more variety in your final gallery!
Why Choose a Petite Session?
Petite Sessions are ideal for:
Busy families who want beautiful images without a long time commitment and a variety of photo options.
Expecting parents looking for maternity photos but need flexibility with timing.
Milestone moments like birthdays, anniversaries, or seasonal memories.
Anyone who wants a relaxed, heartfelt session at a lower price point than a full session.
These short sessions give you the best of both worlds: more variety and photos than a mini session, but with the ease and accessibility of a quick, 25-minute session perfect for families in Seattle.
Plus, they’re ideal for those (looking at you, toddlers and reluctant husbands!) who might not have the patience for a full session.
What’s Included in a Petite Session?
Each Petite Session includes:
25-minute photography session at one of the city’s most beautiful outdoor locations, with a final gallery of 50+ images to choose from.
A carefully curated selection of photos showcasing a variety of poses, candid moments, and details.
Your choice of three of the best Seattle family and maternity photography locations:
Volunteer Park
Magnuson Park

Stress-free planning with personalized guidance before your session.
