Imagine

A photo session where your child isn’t posing for the camera – they’re discovering the beauty of who they truly are.

My mission is to help kids SEE and LOVE who they are.

Why?

In a world that often values conformity over authenticity, Mighty Mini Sessions offer a space where kids can be fully themselves. Whether quiet and contemplative or bursting with energy, every expression is welcomed.

Why?

In a world that often values conformity over authenticity, it’s important for kids to see and understand the power in their uniqueness. This will increase their self-confidence and agency. Mighty Mini Sessions offer a space where kids can be fully themselves. Whether quiet and contemplative or bursting with energy, every expression is welcomed.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Book a Session

For a limited time, Mighty Mini Sessions are FREE!

These short (10-min) portrait sessions happen where families gather, often in partnership with like-minded organizations or businesses, sometimes in my home studio, always with the spirit of collaboration.

Click below to see upcoming dates + locations and to secure a spot for your child.

2. Have your session

Your child’s comfort is paramount. Through play-based prompts, I create a relaxed atmosphere where children feel empowered to be themselves. They get to wear what they want and move how they want. I won’t ask them to smile but they probably will. This will be the most fun portrait session they’ve ever had.

3. View/order your photos

About a week after your session, I’ll send you a link to an online viewing gallery with a collection of 20+ photographs. You’ll have 48 hours to select your favourite images (which can be ALL of them) and place your order. You can order prints, digital files, and custom art, starting at $50.

"I just received the proofs from my photo shoot and CRIED. In a quick and efficient photo shoot, she managed to capture each of my boys' unique personalities magically. It's like she's known them forever yet they've just met. These images are nothing like the thousands of images snapped on my phone - I can FEEL them in her images and will treasure these for life. Book her NOW!"

CHRISTINA, MOM OF 3

"I want to take pictures with Melanie every day!"

TABITHA, AGE 7

"If you're tired of paying money for photos of your kids that end up looking NOTHING like them (I'm looking at you, school photos), book with Melanie. It was easy, casual, fun, and the results were phenomenal. Our (very wiggly) kids have never looked more like themselves, or had more fun taking family photos. I would recommend Melanie to any family looking to invest in gorgeous family photos. You'll be thrilled with the result."

NOELLE, MOM OF 2

"We have worked with Mel many times over the years and she has always been able to capture the spirit of our family so beautifully. We typically hate having our pictures taken but Mel lets us be US."

Representation
matters

How we choose to make photos of our kids shows them how we value them. When we make photos that celebrate them exactly as they are, they feel like they BELONG.

How will your child will feel when they see their portraits?
