Clean light, white backdrop — the classic mini we've been photographing since 2010.
A few quick scenes on a minimalist white set, finished as one framed grid.
Fall light in the parks around Vienna — a look at what an outdoor mini feels like.
They don't have to be turning one.
It doesn't have to be for a holiday card.
You don't have to wait until everyone loses ten pounds.
Children grow. Parents change. Grandparents get older. Life keeps moving.
That's reason enough.
During your mini, we'll create the classic portrait everyone expects, then capture the connection between the people you love. The result is a gallery that feels polished, genuine, and unmistakably yours.

Minis are intended for one nuclear family, with a maximum of six participants. If members of more than one nuclear family want to be photographed, we ask that an additional mini session is purchased. A mini can accommodate up to four children — for families with more than four children we recommend booking two sessions so we have enough time to capture the full range of relationships in your family.
Sessions move into the studio.
No — if you want more than one look, we recommend booking a full session.
