2026 Mini Session Packages: Why They’re Worth It + How to Secure Yours

There’s something special about marking the seasons and milestones of a year through photographs. From spring flowers to fall leaves, family traditions to milestone moments, photos have a way of helping us pause time—if only for a little while.

That’s exactly why I created Mini Session Packages. Instead of wondering when to schedule your photos or scrambling at the last minute, these packages give you a year of planned opportunities to capture the moments that matter most.

And the best part? Packages for 2026 will go live on November 20th—with early access for 2025 package owners on November 17th. If you’re interested, I encourage you to get on my waiting list so I can reach out personally before spots open to the public.

Let’s dive into what makes these packages so valuable, who they’re best for, and why 2026 just might be the perfect year to grab one for your family.

What Exactly Is a Mini Session Package?

A Mini Session Package is like giving yourself permission to stop and capture the little moments all year long.

Instead of buying one session at a time, you bundle multiple mini sessions at the beginning of the year. This way, you’re already committed (and excited!) to make photography part of your story—not just a once-a-year event.

Here are the package options for 2026:

✨ Package A — $500

• 2 Mini Sessions of your choice

• $50 print credit

✨ Package B — $750

• 3 Mini Sessions of your choice

• $75 print credit

✨ Package C — $1000

• 4 Mini Sessions of your choice

• $100 print credit

• A 4x8 accordion album at the end of the year (a sweet keepsake that pulls it all together!)

With each package, you get to choose from a variety of seasonal and themed minis, including:

• Headshots

• Secret Garden

• Tulips

• Spring Minis

• Mommy & Me

• Summer Minis

• Sunflowers

• Hydrangea Garden

• Creek Minis

• Pumpkin Patch

• Fall Minis

• Christmas Minis

Who Are Mini Sessions Best For?

Mini sessions aren’t just a “quick and easy” option—they’re an intentional way to build in moments you’ll treasure forever. They’re best for:

• Busy families who want updated photos without committing to a full session every time.

• Parents of little ones (hello, short attention spans!) who love the idea of a short and sweet session.

• High school seniors who might want seasonal looks, cap & gown, or just updated portraits throughout the year.

• Business owners who need fresh headshots or seasonal content.

• Families who love traditions and want to make annual photos part of their story.

Mini sessions are also perfect for anyone who wants a variety of backdrops and moods throughout the year without booking multiple full sessions.

5 Reasons You Should Consider Purchasing a 2026 Package

1. You’ll Save Money in the Long Run

Booking multiple minis individually adds up fast. Packages give you a built-in discount, plus print credits (and in Package C, a gorgeous album). It’s an investment that stretches further.

2. You’ll Stay Consistent With Photos

How many times have you said, “We really should do family photos this year”—and then life got busy? Having your sessions prepaid and planned keeps you accountable in the best way. Your future self (and your kids) will thank you.

3. You’ll Have Variety All Year Long

From tulips in spring to pumpkins in fall, creek adventures in summer to cozy Christmas minis, your gallery won’t all look the same. You’ll have a beautiful collection of images that reflect your family’s year.

4. You’ll Be First in Line for Booking

Mini sessions often sell out quickly, especially popular ones like Sunflowers or Christmas. With a package, you don’t have to stress about snagging a spot—it’s yours to schedule.

5. You’ll Create a Keepsake You’ll Cherish Forever

For Package C clients, the end-of-year accordion album ties your sessions into one gorgeous piece of art. But even with smaller packages, the photos you gather throughout the year become a tangible reminder of how much life can change in just 12 months.

Why Clients Love Their Mini Packages

Here are a few things past clients have said when I asked, “What’s the top reason you purchased a mini session package?”

I purchased a mini session package with Megan because having the opportunity to have 3 different sessions AND have included the gallery for each session, well of course it made sense! The mini session package was perfect for our family to capture our girls in different seasons and allowed for a family session. And Megan made it so easy to schedule. The different seasonal sessions were beautiful and timeless! If you are thinking about purchasing a mini session package, do it! Don’t miss this opportunity, it’s absolutely worth it! 

I always choose Megan’s mini sessions—short, sweet, and perfect for a busy mom like me. Somehow, she always captures the real smiles, the ones I’ll treasure for years.

I purchased a mini session package because it takes the stress out of planning. I know we already have our sessions secured for the year, and I don’t have to worry about availability or remembering to book every season.

The main reason I chose a package was the value. Having multiple sessions already included—plus all the images—makes it such a great deal compared to booking individually.
