Mandan Family Photographer

Why Mini Sessions Are Perfect for Busy Families

Hey there! If we haven’t met yet, I’m Tessa, a photographer based in Mandan, North Dakota, capturing everything from seniors to weddings—and yes, those quick and fun mini sessions, too!

I get it—life is busy. Between work, school activities, and all the little moments in between, scheduling a full photography session can feel impossible. That’s where mini sessions come in! These shorter sessions (typically 15-20 minutes) are perfect for families, couples, or even just yourself when you want updated photos without committing to a full hour-long session.

Why You’ll Love Mini Sessions: Quick & Stress-Free – Perfect for wiggly kids or busy schedules. Budget-Friendly – A great way to get professional photos without the investment of a full session.

I only offer these a few times a year, and spots always go fast!

Want to be the first to know when my next minis drop? Let’s connect! Follow along on Facebook | Twelve9 Photography or on Instagram twelve9.photo. You can also join my email list to snag your spot before they’re gone.

Can’t wait to capture your moments—big and small! ✨
