What’s the difference between a Personality Portrait and a mini sesssion?
Mini sessions are geared towards families, are longer in length, and typically held outdoors. Personality Portraits are indoor sessions that are for children only and are 5-minute sessions. Both types of sessions take place on predetermined dates and can not be booked as stand-alone sessions. With both sessions, you can choose your final images and have the option to upgrade to purchase additional images.

Can I book this as a stand-alone mini session or Personality Portrait?
Unfortunately, no. Due to my high demand of family sessions, I am only able to offer mini sessions and Personality Portrait sessions on certain, pre-determined dates.
How is a mini session different than a standard session?
How is a mini session different than a standard session?
Mini sessions are 15-minute sessions on a designated date at a specific location. You will receive five images with this session, with the option to purchase more. A standard session is a much more customized session, where you can choose your location, date, have access to the Client Closet and studio stylist. We will also have at least an hour to work together. Because of the extra time, you will receive much more variety in terms of background and posing. You will also receive all of your edited images.

Spring and summer mini sessions are typically announced to my priority list the last week of March or the first week in April. My Christmas in July promotion, typically the fourth week in July is when I launch my fall and holiday minis at a reduced rate for my priority list only. These are open to the public for booking in August. Personality Portraits are typically announced in January and only take place in January, February, March, and April.

"First, scheduling was super easy through her website. Sharon is very communicative from booking and up until picture day.

We have two small children and somehow Sharon had them smiling and laughing the whole time feeling like they were playing and not working for photos.
The fact that Sharon used to be a teacher was beyond beneficial in your kids taking an active and fun part in getting great photos. I received the pictures and couldn’t believe how many amazing shots she was able to capture of us knowing how difficult it can be to get kids to cooperate. I am already looking forward to booking with Sharon next year and I cannot recommend Sharon and her team more for your next family photo shoot."
"Sharon was absolutely lovely to work with. I'm not the type of person who particularly enjoys photoshoots, but she is exceptionally adept at putting her clients at ease. Her studio is equal parts tranquil, tasteful and casual so that my wife and I were not in the least bit overwhelmed.

Sharon anticipates every possible need and plans accordingly so that you don't have to.
She is able to maintain the pace of her shoots, moving them forward judiciously without making the client feel rushed or unappreciated. She was completely down-to-earth and personable. It sounds cliché, but talking with her felt like catching up with an old friend – exactly we needed after the hectic experience of bringing our first child into the world. Sharon was more than worth the cost."
"I was first introduced to Sharon in 2024 when I did a session of personality portraits, and I was instantly impressed. A few friends had used her before and raved about her work, and now I completely understand why! Sharon truly works magic behind the camera. She is incredibly organized, answering all questions and planning every detail ahead of time.

There’s never a need to stress about locations, directions, or even bad weather—she has a backup plan for everything!
One of my favorite parts of working with her is the dress consult to help plan outfits. She has such a great eye for style and helps put together looks that photograph beautifully."
"I am so happy to have had Sharon capture photos of my family. She was so easy to work with, from scheduling to planning and coordinating, she could not have made the process more simple. She showed up on the day-of super prepared, with a whole wagon full of stuff just in case, including snacks for my kids!

She worked so well with my children: she truly understands that children are going to get bored fast and she worked around their moods perfectly.
I love that she captured my kids' candid smiles, and not just the posed ones. To top it off, the final product was beyond my expectations and delivered in under a week! You can tell that she loves what she's doing and it shows in her work. She is truly a gem and I can't wait to work with her again as my children grow up!"
"Sharon is an absolute gem! It has been 3.5 years since I found her and since then she has captured the most adorable and perfect pictures of my two sons and our family.
From newborn sessions, cake smashes and family photos, not one detail has ever been overlooked. Her process is seamless and she makes everything so accessible and easy.
She offers so many options for photo opportunities and has perfected a style that really is timeless! She was so wonderful with each of my children when they were newborns, that it made the experience so worth it! Couldn’t recommend enough!"
