Holiday Mini Sessions
Fifteen minutes in the studio. A portrait worth keeping.
A mini session is short on time and nothing else. Same studio, same lighting, same hand-editing as a full Tin Seeds sitting — built into fifteen minutes on a holiday set. There are only a few dozen times each season, and when they’re gone they’re gone until next year.
- Fifteen minutes in the Canton studio
- One set, chosen when you book
- Up to five people
- A private online gallery about a week later
- Five hand-edited, full-resolution images with a print release
- $225 — paid when you book
Georgia sales tax is added at checkout. Session fees are non-refundable, but your time can be moved once up to 48 hours before.
Three very different portraits
Lights
A dark room and a single strand of Christmas lights behind you, thrown right out of focus into warm colour. Quiet and cinematic.
One or two peopleChristmas Morning
Bright, clean and uncluttered — a tree, a few wrapped gifts, nothing more. Light enough that everyone reads clearly. This is the card photo.
Children & small familiesHeirloom
Dark, quiet and timeless. Deep shadow, one window of light, no props and no year stamped on it. The one that stays up after the tree comes down.
Families & older childrenOne set per session. Tell me which you want when you book — the room is already lit when you arrive, which is how fifteen minutes is enough.
Everything else is yours to choose
Your five images are yours the moment the gallery opens. If you fall for more than five — and most people do — you can add them yourself, right from the gallery.
Your gallery stays open for 30 days. Wall art is made to order by Miller’s Lab and ships in about two weeks.
Order $750 or more in artwork from your gallery and the full session fee is credited to the order. Buy the portrait and the sitting was free.

The questions I always get
How many people can be in the session?
Up to five. Beyond that, fifteen minutes stops being enough — a full session is the better fit, and I’m happy to talk about one.
Can we change outfits?
No. Fifteen minutes is genuinely fifteen minutes. Come in what you want photographed, and bring nothing you’d need to fuss with.
Can two families share one time slot?
No — one family, one gallery. If you’d like back-to-back times with friends, book them both and let me know.
What if we’re running late?
The next family is right behind you, so a session ends when it ends. Please build in traffic.
Are the images retouched?
Every delivered image is hand-edited by me — the same finishing as a full Tin Seeds portrait. No presets, no batch.
Will they arrive before Christmas?
Digital files, yes, comfortably. Wall art ordered within a week of your gallery opening will also make it. Later than that, I’ll tell you honestly before you order.
What if I need to reschedule?
Session fees aren’t refundable, but your time can be moved once to another available slot up to 48 hours beforehand.
