Beach Mini Sessions
- Taylors Mistake, Christchurch
On the last Friday of each month you'll find me hanging out at Taylors Mistake capturing magic with families, couples, lovebirds... anyone who loves the beach!
Your free-flowing fun session will be 30 minutes on the beach, wandering the grasses and hopping across the rocks. The exact meeting location will be provided prior in my mini guide along with inspiration about what to wear.
TIP: If you love glowy light, I recommend booking as late in the day as you can. Additional times will be added if all the spots are snapped up! Postponement dates: Due to poor weather, the postponement date is the following Friday. Your time will remain the same, just on the alternative date.
Let's capture this magical season of life with magic memories on one of Christchurch's iconic beaches.
All done in 3 simple steps...

Review your fully edited images in a private online gallery 14 days after your session. Make your selections & download them straight away. All in the comfort of your lounge room! You will be ready to start updating and sharing with confidence.
I will thoroughly guide you throughout your session so you and your family shine brighter than ever before with some simple direction. Have fun; it's all about making memories. If the weather is poorly, the shoot will be postponed to the following day.
Choose a time that best suits you. You will be sent info on how to prepare, and what to wear.
I will guide you on how to prepare best and let you know all you need to get the most out of your experience.

What is a
mini Session?
Unlike full sessions that can take an hour or more, mini sessions are short 20-30 minute photo shoots. They are a great way for you and your family to have professional images taken at a discounted rate. While full sessions offer outfit changes, various locations and more time to shoot, mini-sessions are more simplified.
I like to capture the magic of your special bond, which typically includes a formal portrait where everyone is looking and smiling at the camera, portraits of couples/single parents and individual children, fun combinations and of course all injected with my genuine, joyful and timeless approach.
These mini sessions are also perfect for celebrating you, you and your friend, you and your partner, LGBTIQA+ are all welcome, and maternity.
What to expect
My mini-sessions are designed to be fun and highly enjoyable. When you book your mini-session with me, you will need to pay the full fee to reserve your spot for that day. Your full gallery will be available within 2 weeks of your mini-session and will be emailed to you directly, which you can share with family and friends.
If you'd like to upgrade your gallery to Deluxe, I will send you an invoice and on payment, all the images will be released.
You will want to arrive 10/15 minutes early to your session time. If you have your own props, ensure they are ready to go when your time is about to begin.
I take as many images as possible in the given time, and the number of poses can be as many or as few as you would like.
