Snowy Pine Mini Sessions
Saturday, November 22
Salida, Colorado
20 minutes - $350
Mini Photo Sessions / Outdoor Adventure / Colorado Family Photography
Meet me in the snowy pines! Fresh snow is on the way, and Saturday is shaping up to be one of those magical Salida mornings — bright sun, quiet piñon pines, and that soft winter light I love photographing families in.
These pop-up minis are perfect for anyone who loves being outdoors and wants something natural and heartfelt. Think sunlight filtering through snow-dusted pines, warm coats, rosy cheeks, and simple, joyful moments. Great for families, couples, individuals, or just-for-fun pictures.
If you’re a nature lover, I’ll make this easy and relaxed. We’ll wander into the pines, use the fresh snow as our backdrop, and create something beautiful together.

““My family and I loved the “adventure” photo session. Not only do we have great photos as a result but we also had a great excuse to spend time together outside as a family in a relaxed and playful way. Emily’s images captured this fun and tenderness beautifully. She was great to work with, so professional but very patient with kids and her turnaround time was impressive. This memory will last forever!””
FAQ’s
What about health and safety precautions?
I am vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 and will wear a mask during sessions if you would prefer me to wear one. Masks are not required for clients. All sessions take place outdoors.
What should I expect?
A laid back or high energy session where you get to explore nature. I guarantee I will make you laugh by running around trying to capture the fun. I always direct clients into a few classic portraits and have fun prompts to encourage genuine smiles. Dogs especially love my Wookiee sounds (yes, you read that right).
How do I pay?
A signed contract and $100 retainer secures your booking and the remaining balance is due on the day of your session. You pay your retainer through my website shop (accepts all major credit cards).
Where will the mini sessions take place?
Mini sessions will take place at predetermined outdoor locations in the beautiful mountain town of Salida, Colorado. To minimize environmental impacts to our local natural areas, exact locations will be sent to session participants upon booking. All locations can be accessed within a 15 minute drive of downtown Salida.
What time of day are your sessions?
Mini sessions take place in the early morning after sunrise or in the evening shortly before sunset. I love soft, golden light and it is a signature of my photography style!
Who can I bring?
Session price includes up to 6 people, and up to 3 well-behaved dogs. Mini sessions are not designed for larger groups- contact me about coming up with an estimate and scheduling a separate session for extended families.
What should I/we wear?
There's no requirement for dressy outfits, make-up, or perfect poses, but if an outfit with flourish or your favorite lipstick will make you feel confident, go for it. I want you to feel like yourself. I send all clients my adventure session style guide after you book with more tips.
What should I bring?
Your love for the outdoors and the essentials to keep hydrated or to keep little ones happy. A snack and a change of (dry) socks I've found to be wise. Treats for doggos are great but make sure you can hide them in photos. Don't forget sun protection, but I ask clients not to wear sunglasses during the session.
How many photos will I receive and when should I expect them?
You'll receive all of the edited pictures (at least 15) in an online gallery. You'll have options for ordering prints, albums, and other products shipped directly to you, or you can download them at full or web resolution for safekeeping / printing and sharing on your own. I will provide your final gallery link within 3-4 weeks.
