Family photos are a beautiful way to document special moments and create lasting memories, but finding the right session for your family’s needs can be tricky. If you're thinking of booking a session, you may be trying to decide between a full session and a mini session—but have you thought about a petite session? A petite family photography session is the perfect in-between option, offering the ideal balance of variety of images and convenience, making it great for families who want stunning images without the extended duration of a full session.

What is a Petite Family Session?

A petite family session is a photography experience designed for families who want beautiful images without committing to a full-length session. A petite family session is 30 minutes, which is longer than the more familiar mini session, which tends to run about 10 to 15 minutes. Unlike a mini session it provides more time for a variety of shots and interactions, while still keeping things shorter than a full session—something many families appreciate. Petite sessions are well-suited for families with young children who may not have the patience for a longer session but still want a variety of stunning images to treasure. The result is a thoughtfully curated collection of the best images, offering a perfect balance of experience and convenience.

How Does It Compare to Other Sessions?

While a petite session is a fantastic option for families, you may be wondering exactly how it differs from other types of sessions:

  • A full session (60-90 minutes) provides more flexibility and a greater variety of images which is ideal for storytelling-style photography.

  • A mini session (10-15 minutes) is a fast, budget-friendly option for quick updates but offers limited time for variety and interaction.

  • A petite session (30 minutes) gives you the perfect balance—enough time for variety and interactive moments without requiring a long time commitment.
