Fall Mini Sessions in Northwest Arkansas

There’s just something about fall in Northwest Arkansas, the crisp mornings, changing leaves, warm golden light, and getting to slow down for a little while and capture the people you love.


Last fall, I hosted my Fall Mini Sessions and had the sweetest families, couples, and little ones in front of my camera. These sessions were short, relaxed, and focused on capturing genuine moments while still getting those classic family portraits you'll want to frame.


Here are a few of my favorite moments from last year's fall minis. 🍂

A Little Time, A Lot to Remember


My fall minis are designed to give you beautiful seasonal photos without needing to commit to a full-length session. In a short amount of time, we'll capture a variety of photos,  from traditional portraits to the little candid moments that make your family yours.


They're perfect for:

  • Families
  • Couples
  • Kids
  • Maternity
  • Holiday cards
  • Updated family photos
  • And even your four-legged family members

What Locations are Offered This Year


Lake Bentonville Park — Bentonville, Arkansas


Lake Bentonville Park is a beautiful setting for fall photos, with plenty of trees, open space, and natural scenery that makes for a classic autumn backdrop.


Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park — Prairie Grove, Arkansas


Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park offers a beautiful mix of mature trees, open fields, and a more rustic setting for fall family, couple, and maternity photos.

What to Wear for Fall Photos


Fall is one of my favorite seasons for outfits because you can incorporate so many warm, cozy textures.


Some of my favorite colors for fall sessions include:

  • Cream
  • Brown 
  • Tan
  • Rust
  • Olive
  • Burgundy
  • Mustard
  • Denim


You don't have to match everyone in your family. Instead, choose colors and textures that coordinate well together and add a little variety.


Layers, sweaters, denim, boots, dresses, and textured fabrics photograph especially beautifully during fall sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why should I book a mini session instead of a full session?

Mini sessions are perfect if you're looking for a quick, simple way to update your family photos without committing to a longer session. They're especially great for holiday cards, updated portraits, kids, couples, and families who want a handful of beautiful seasonal images.


Can we bring our dog?

Absolutely! Pets are welcome to join your session.


What should we wear?

I recommend coordinating colors rather than everyone wearing the exact same thing. Warm neutrals, earth tones, denim, and textured layers are all great choices for fall photos.


Are fall sessions only for families?

Not at all! Couples, maternity sessions, kids, and even updated portraits can all work beautifully with a fall backdrop.


What if my kids don't cooperate?

Don't stress! Kids don't have to sit still and smile the entire time. Some of my favorite photos come from the moments when kids are running around, laughing, or just being themselves.


Do you help us pose?

Absolutely. You don't need to know what to do in front of the camera. I'll guide you through different poses and prompts throughout the session.


What happens if it rains?

If the weather makes it unsafe or impossible to photograph outdoors, I'll communicate with you about rescheduling options.


How will we receive our photos?

Your images will be delivered through an online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos.
