Welcome to my 11th season of 5 Minute Mini Sessions and 19th in business!
Important Things to Note this Fall Season:
• Single families ONLY please, extended family sessions were only available in the Spring. The sole exception to this is adding 1 set of grandparents if a second session is purchased back to back. I’m sorry to have to put this restriction out there but I would love to photograph your big family next Spring.
• Turn around on your galleries will be a standard of 3 weeks and for anyone new here, so sorry but I don’t do sneak peeks! It’s always worth the wait, I promise!
• In the event of inclement weather and having to reschedule, I will get you rescheduled but there is no guarantee it will be at the same location you originally booked at, flexibility is key, thank you!
• As a sports parent myself, I completely get that you may not know your child’s sport schedule until later in the Fall. However, please understand that I sell out very quickly and will be working with over 400 families this Fall alone. If you book a date that ends up having a conflict down the road with sports, I’m just going to say this, it will be much easier for you to have your kiddo miss one game or practice than it will be to reschedule on a sold out schedule. I have added extra Fridays to help alleviate weekend games/practice, please utilize them if you can! My schedule is maxed out and so if nothing is available to reschedule to, the choices will be either to miss the game/practice or get on a wait list in case of a cancellation with the chance you may have to wait until spring. Thank you for understanding!
* The images below represent the locations where I will be shooting using photos from the same time of year at the locations, the lighting of course may differ on the day of.
AsAs I begin the transition here in 2026 to not share any minor’s face under 16, be it on social media (which I rarely use anyway) or here on my website, you’ll notice I’ve placed my logo over their faces on the example photos, this is intentional and I’m just trying to do my part in protecting littles as the age of AI training / safety / privacy concerns is now upon us.
• Senior Sessions now have their own website over at www.jessicastrom.net which I am very excited about.
