Mini session season is officially here, and I’m so excited to share my Winter & Spring 2026 Mini Session lineup with you all. These sessions are some of my favorites each year. They're quick, meaningful, thoughtfully styled, and perfect for capturing beautiful moments without committing to a full-length session!
Whether you’re looking for updated family photos, personality-filled portraits of your little ones, a fresh headshot, or a gorgeous seasonal backdrop, there truly is something for everyone this season.
Below you’ll find details on each mini session offering, including dates, locations, and who each session is best suited for.
Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions | January 31, 2026 | Lawrence, NJ
Who doesn’t love an adorable, love-themed set? These Valentine’s Day mini sessions are sweet, simple, and full of charm. They’re perfect for small families, individual child portraits, siblings, mommy and me sessions, couples, or even maternity and pregnancy announcements.
These sessions will take place indoors at a studio in Lawrence, NJ, making them weather-proof and stress-free. Availability is very limited, and once these spots are filled, they won’t be reopened.
Black & White Child Personality Mini Sessions | March 7, 2026 | Lawrence, NJ
These sessions are all about capturing your child exactly as they are in this season of life. From big smiles and silly faces to twirling, movement, and playful energy, these black and white minis focus on personality over perfection.
These sessions are designed for individual children or siblings. If siblings are photographed, you’ll receive one combined gallery featuring all children. Sessions take place indoors at a studio in Lawrence, NJ and are a beautiful way to freeze these fleeting stages in time.
Headshot Mini Sessions | March 8, 2026 | Lawrence, NJ
If you’re in need of an updated headshot, these minis are for you. These 15-minute sessions are specifically designed for one person and are ideal whether you’re looking for a more traditional headshot or a mix of polished and branding-style images.
These sessions give you a true taste of a JENNAKPHOTOS experience while keeping things efficient and intentional. If you have inspiration photos or pose ideas, feel free to bring them along so we can capture your vision and your authentic self.
If you’re still on the fence, I highly recommend reading this previous blog on why an updated headshot matters and how it can benefit you:
Greenhouse Mini Sessions | March 7, March 28 & April 4, 2026 | Ewing, NJ
They’re back, and just as magical as ever! Greenhouse minis are one of my most popular spring offerings and for good reason. These sessions take place inside a heated, indoor greenhouse in Ewing, NJ, offering gorgeous natural light and lush greenery without worrying about unpredictable spring weather.
I’ve photographed just about everything in this space, from maternity and families to couples, graduations, headshots, children, and mommy and me sessions. Join me in this dreamy setting and let’s create something beautiful together.

Spring Studio Set Mini Sessions | March 29 & April 18, 2026 | Lawrence, NJ
I’m so excited to introduce these spring studio set minis. These sessions will take place at a studio in Lawrence, NJ and feature a soft, minimal spring-inspired setup with gentle florals.
The simplicity of the studio allows the focus to stay on connection and emotion, making these sessions perfect for families, maternity, communion photos, children, and mommy and me sessions. And because these are held indoors, there’s no need to stress about the weather.
Sayen Gardens Mini Sessions | April 26, 2026 | Hamilton, NJ
Sayen Gardens has quickly become a favorite year after year, and every time I offer these minis, they book out fast. This stunning park in Hamilton, NJ offers a variety of natural backdrops, from blooming florals to lush greenery, making it a true springtime dream.
These sessions are perfect for nearly any occasion, including graduation or senior portraits, communion, families, headshots, mommy and me sessions, couples or engagements, or simply photos of your kids just because.
