Busy families want holiday photos but don’t have time for full sessions—enter your 20-minute holiday mini sessions in Riverside, CA! This blog post educates clients on what a mini session is, who it’s perfect for, and why your Riverside mini sessions offer incredible value, speed, and timeless results. Your bold + moody aesthetic adds something fresh and artistic to traditional holiday portraits.
The Holidays Are Busy—Your Photos Don’t Have to Be
Let’s be honest: the holiday season is chaos (cute chaos, but still chaos). Between shopping lists, school parties, and figuring out who’s cooking the turkey, booking a full photo session often gets pushed to the “maybe next year” pile.
But what if I told you that in just 20 minutes, you could have timeless, bold, holiday portraits that are perfect for cards, gifts, and grandma’s fridge?
At Lasting Memories by Larissa, I’ve designed holiday mini sessions in Riverside, CA to give you everything you want—beautiful images, zero stress, and fast turnaround—without eating up your whole day.
What Is a Holiday Mini Session?
Think of a mini session as a bite-sized version of a full photoshoot. My Riverside holiday mini sessions are:
20 minutes long
Held at one curated location in Riverside
Perfect for families, couples, or solo portraits
Include a holiday-themed setup with bold, vibrant style
Come with 7 edited images with the option to upgrade
These aren’t rushed or low-quality. I’ve refined my mini session flow to deliver the same beautiful, emotive portraits I’m known for—just in less time.
Who Are Mini Sessions Perfect For?
1. Busy Families
Getting littles to pose for an hour? No thanks. In 20 minutes, I keep kids engaged, parents happy, and everyone looking amazing.
2. Couples Who Want Updated Photos
You don’t need a major life event to get fresh pictures. Holiday minis are a sweet, simple way to capture your love without a huge time commitment.
3. Holiday Card Magic Makers
Want the perfect shot for your holiday card? These minis are built for it—cozy poses, natural light, and just the right amount of holiday magic.
4. First-Timers Nervous About a Full Session
A mini is a perfect way to dip your toes in. You’ll get a feel for what it’s like to work with me—fun, relaxed, and full of good vibes—without committing to a full session (yet 😉).
