Fall Minis in Nova Scotia

Fall Mini Sessions

Your favourite people surrounded by Nova Scotia’s beautiful fall colours

October 11th • Kinsmen First Lake Beach, Lower Sackville, NS
October 18th • The Dingle, Halifax, NS
October 25th • Shubie Park, Dartmouth, NS
20 Minutes • 20 Professionally Edited Images • $149

Every year, Nova Scotia’s trees put on an incredible display of rich reds, warm oranges and golden yellows. It’s one of the most beautiful times of year to update your family photos, celebrate your relationship or simply to remember what life looks like right now.

You don’t need to know how to pose, bring a list of ideas or worry about making everyone behave perfectly.

I’ll guide you through the entire session using simple directions and playful prompts. We’ll capture the classic smiling-at-the-camera photographs before adding movement, laughter and genuine interaction.

Whether you’re bringing energetic children, a camera-shy partner or both, your session will be relaxed, lightly guided and true to you.

Three dates and locations to choose from

You don’t have to rearrange your entire October schedule to make fall photos happen. Choose from three dates across Sackville, Halifax and Dartmouth.

Guidance from beginning to end

You’ll never be left wondering where to stand or what to do with your hands. I’ll give you enough direction to feel confident without making your photos look overly posed.

A mix of classic and candid images

We’ll capture the family portrait or couples photo for the wall, along with the laughter, movement and genuine connection that show more of your personality.

Short and easy to fit into your day

Twenty minutes gives us enough time to create a varied gallery while keeping the experience manageable for young children, busy families and partners who may not love being in front of the camera.

Nova Scotia’s fall colours as your backdrop

With colourful trees, walking trails, open spaces and natural scenery, each park gives your photographs a distinctly Nova Scotian fall feeling.

How Booking Works

1. Choose your location and time

Select the date, park and available appointment time that work best for you. Appointments at each location are first-come, first-served.

2. Make it official

You’ll receive a contract and invoice by email. Your appointment is officially reserved once your contract is signed and the 50% non-refundable deposit has been paid.

3. Prepare without overthinking it

Before your session, I’ll send the important details you need, including where to meet and how to prepare. You can also reach out if you need help coordinating outfits.

4. Meet me at the park

We’ll begin with a few classic portraits before moving into lightly guided prompts and natural interactions. You don’t need any posing experience—I’ll guide you throughout the session.

5. Receive your finished gallery

Your 20 professionally edited images will be delivered in a private Pixieset gallery, with high-resolution files for printing and web-sized copies for sharing online.

What makes these sessions different?

My approach is candid first, with enough guidance to help everyone feel comfortable.

I call the traditional smiling-at-the-camera photographs the “grandma poses.” We’ll make sure we get those important images before adding walking, movement, laughter and prompts that encourage genuine connection.

You’ll receive photographs that feel polished without losing the personality and relationships that make them yours.


Kind Words From Past Families

We had such a good experience with Sarah! She is honestly the sweetest and she put so much effort into making sure that we were happy with the final pictures. Her photo minis are great, it was easy for us to pick a time that would fit with our schedule. We are not the most comfortable in front of a camera so Sarah would give us great ideas for poses, which turned out great!

– Roxanne G.

 She had lots of suggestions for poses and after receiving the pictures, I’d say her suggestions were spot on and visually great. 

– Jeremy W.

Super fun experience working with Sarah. She is punctual, professional, great energy and fantastic photos. Got my photos back super quick and love them.

– Amy C.
