micro mini 2026
simple, stress-free, modern portraits for kids and kids at heart
No forced pose
No cheesy background
No awkward expression
Those mini portraits were born out of the pandemic when schools were closed.
I wanted to offer fun and easy kid portraits. It is now the 7th year I’m doing those and opening up to adults too!
What are MICRO mini portraits ?
Micro mini portraits are a quick, beautiful way to capture exactly who you are right now: just 5 minutes to freeze a true moment in time. Open to everyone, 1 to 99 years old: bring your kid, come solo, grab your grandparent, your au pair, your favorite aunt, or your most reliable babysitter (small pets welcome too).
Solo portraits are the default, and you can add a duo shot to capture a bond that matters to you.
THE DETAILS
Dates*: September 6, 7, 12, 16 (TBC), 18
Price: $50 solo (1 digital included) · $65 duo (You can book a duo shot for 2 people as an add-on. You need to purchase solo portraits first)
Where: My driveway, Hyattsville, MD
Session length: 5 minutes
Background: Classic white, timeless and simple
*Dates are opened a week in advance instead of all at once. Rescheduling for bad weather is such a pain, so I'm limiting the booking window to try to avoid that.

HOW IT WORKS
— STEP ONE - BOOK YOUR PORTRAIT(s) - $50
Answer a quick questionnaire and pay for your portrait(s). Payment must be made in full within 24 hours to hold your spot — first come, first served.
If you book several portraits, you only need to book the 1st slot, I will manually add the rest of them.
Once you’ve paid, you’ll get a confirmation with your date and time.
— STEP TWO - Show up for picture day
Slots run every 5 minutes to keep things moving, so please arrive on time. Break out their best outfit (or let them pick!) and get ready for your mini time capsule of this exact school year. I send you my prep guide when you book.
— STEP three - GET YOUR GALLERY
Within 2 weeks, you'll receive an online gallery of 5 images and you’ll be able to download your favorite image. Want more? Prints, frames, and the full digital set are available in the shop. Only buy what you love.
Get a mini time capsule of that special school year!
