Senior year is flying by — and this season only comes once. If you’ve been thinking about booking a senior session but aren’t sure where to start, my Spring Senior Mini Sessions were made for you.
These minis give you a curated, gorgeous experience without the overwhelm of a full session. You show up, I take care of everything else — including the location.
What’s Included in Your Mini Session
Each Spring Senior Mini Session includes:
- A 20-minute styled session at a handpicked location (I choose the spot — trust me, it’s going to be stunning)
- 10 professionally edited digital images delivered in a private online gallery
- A quick, stress-free experience designed to feel natural — not forced
- Images ready to post, print, or share however you want
Spring & Fall Senior Mini Sessions in Grayslake, Lake Villa & Lake County IL — Book Before Spots Are Gone
Spring Senior Mini Session start at— $300
Includes 5–10 edited digital images delivered through a private gallery.
Want More Images?
Upgrade to the Full Gallery Add-On and receive every photo from your session — all professionally edited. Available for an additional $150+ (final price based on session). If you fall in love with more than your included images, this upgrade gives you the full set.
Why a Mini Session?
I hear it all the time: “I want photos but I don’t want it to be a whole thing.” I get it. Mini sessions are designed for the senior who wants beautiful, professional images without a two-hour production. In 20 minutes, we capture real moments, real personality, and real connection — no awkward posing required.
And because I select the location, you can show up with zero stress knowing the backdrop is already going to be gorgeous.
Who Are These Minis Perfect For?
- High school seniors who want updated portraits for grad announcements or LinkedIn
- Grads who want to celebrate the moment before the real world kicks in
- Anyone who’s been putting off getting professional photos — this is your low-commitment way to finally do it
- Families looking for a thoughtful gift idea for their graduating senior
About the Location
One of my favorite things about these mini sessions is that I curate the location for you. I scout spots that are seasonally beautiful, flattering for portraits, and give your photos a timeless, editorial feel — not just a random park bench. You’ll get the location details when you book.
This is what I mean when I say I curate the location. Lehmann Mansion is a hidden gem that most seniors don’t even know is available for portrait sessions — and being photographed here sets your gallery apart from every other senior portrait you’ll see in your feed.
📍 Lehmann Mansion, Lake Villa, IL — a landmark location right in your own community.
