Fall Mini Sessions are here! Every mini session I will be offering from the end of summer – 2026 are below!
Dog Days of Summer š¾āļøDog Mugshot Minis
MANHATTAN BEACH STUDIO
Sunday,Ā July 26
The zoomies. The goofy smiles. The floppy ears. The sweet faces. Because our dogs are more than petsā¦ they are family.
Inspired by my popular Mugshot Sessions, this limited edition studio event is all about capturing your dogās personality in clean, timeless portraits you will actually want to hang on your walls.
Serious faces. Silly faces. Tongues out. Treat bribery. All of it.
š¾ $225
š¾ 10 minute studio session
š¾ 5 edited digital images included (options to upgrade after)
š¾ Up to 2 dogs from the same household per session included. WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED SEPARATELY. Depending on your multiple dogs personalities, you may want more time, book two slots!
Because these are short, structured sessions, I am unable to accommodate additional dogs beyond two. If you have more than two dogs, I recommend booking a second time slot so each pup gets their moment in front of the camera.
A NON REFUNDABLE RETAINER of $150 is due at the time of booking.

BACK TO SCHOOL MUGSHOT MINIS – MANHATTAN BEACH
SUNDAY, AUGUST 30
Mugshots are probably my favorite thing to photograph. I hold mini sessions for these in the Spring and Fall! The simplicity of the backdrop and wardrobe allow you to focus on the personality of the child; silly, angry, happy, serious face and all!
*Mugshot mini sessions are $300, 15 minutes, 5 images included. PRICING FOR ONE CHILD. Have more than 1 child? No problem, you can fit them in the SAME time slot and pay for the additional child/children. Children must be siblings. Sibling add on is $75 per child and each child receives 5 more images. More than 2 kids, inquire about pricing, mugshot mini sessions often DO NOT work with more than 2 kids.
A NON REFUNDABLE RETAINER of $150 is due at the time of booking.Ā
Turn around time: My contracted turn around time is 2-4 weeks.
TORRANCE BEACH
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13THĀ
The view or the PV Peninsula at this location is gorgeous!Ā My style of shooting is to get as close to sunset as possible, when the light is warm and golden. Just a heads up, the beach is completely unpredictable and I cannot guarantee sunny skies or no wind, but we can sure pray for them! THE CLOSER TO SUNSET, THE MORE GOLDEN THE LIGHT, so book according to your desires!
**Weather is out of my control and I can never guarantee sunshine or a windless beach! If it is raining we will reschedule!
*Mini sessions are $350, last 15 minutes and include 8 images. A NON REFUNDABLE RETAINER of $150 is due at the time of booking. They are for immediate family only. Want to add grandma or grandpa? No problem, it’s $35 extra per person.
Turn around time: My contracted turn around time is 2-4 weeks. This is my busiest time of year and I generally try to keep it as close to 2 weeks as possible, if not sooner. If you have we have shot together, you know how fast I am.Ā (I donāt think I have ever had a 4 week turn around)!
*I cannot control the weather, but hope and pray for sunshine! We only reschedule in the event of rain.
