Mini Session or Full Session? | What type of session should I book?

The two options of portrait sessions you have with Lavender and Light are full sessions and mini sessions. Let’s talk a little bit about which session is right for your family.

A full session lasts around an hour, can be at any location, can include two locations, two outfits and you receive quite a few images. At the time I am writing this blog, I include at least 40 edited images for a full session, but the final gallery normally has more. Because the session is an hour, we can take the must needed shots (everyone looking at the camera) and then also move into some more creative and candid photos. The gallery is full of images that you will want to hang on your wall, as well as all the little details that you will cherish forever.

I was met with smiles, hugs, and felt right at home as we hopped on the side by side to drive to our first location on their family land. Makayla wanted the photos to be full of green nature.

Storey Family | My two favorite locations in one precious session

It is always the best compliment when a fellow photographer reaches out to get pictures made. Melissa is so talented and owns Melissa Storey Photography, providing maternity, newborn and family photography to the Carolinas. Needless to say, we had plenty to talk about! We both admitted to each other that we were nervous before the session. I was nervous because she knew what was going on and I wanted her to be happy.

Nash Family | A studio session

When we decided that we were going to build a studio, I had visions of a session just like this in my head. White walls, big windows, flowy curtains. And a precious family to fill this space with love and smiles. The Nash family has been in front of my camera multiple times. From maternity […]

Annual Christmas Session

Beth and Brandon have allowed Lavender and Light to photograph them for their Christmas photos six years in a row. They have been with me from the very first year I started this business. Not only are they extremely loyal customers, but they are absolute naturals in front of the camera. Their outfits are always […]
