2025 Fall Mini Sessions at the Historic Chautauqua Institution Near Thunder Bridge

Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for a very important update for all families who love working with me!

I cannot say enough how grateful I am to every family who has booked a Mini Session with me this year. I mentioned in my Summer Minis blog post (read HERE) that I am still quite new to offering Mini Sessions. I’ve been finding my rhythm, figuring out what works for me and the people I serve, and it’s been a beautiful challenge. For my first ever Fall Mini Sessions I offered them near Thunder Bridge in the beautiful and historic Chautauqua Institution.

If you are at all familiar with my business, you will know that Chautauqua Institution is a very special place to me. It never looks the same way twice, always evolving with the seasons. Perhaps that is part of why I love it so much; I am continually creatively stimulated and challenged there, which is rare for a place that I photograph at so frequently. Obviously, with it’s beautiful fall color, brick paths, and privacy during the off-season I knew that Chautauqua Institution would be the perfect spot for our Fall Mini Sessions.

Again, thank you to every family who booked a Fall Mini Session with me! It was a joy taking photos of you and your littles, documenting this special season you are all in. From new babies on the way to girls growing up faster than should be allowed (looking at you Ireland ladies), you are all so special. Mini Sessions are fast and furious (especially with so many adorably busy toddlers!), but you all made this such an enjoyable experience for me. I cannot wait for Fall Minis next year! And don’t forget about Christmas Minis this December…

An Important Announcement for All KGP Families:

Adding Mini Sessions to my business this year has been amazing, and I fully plan on leaning into them in 2026! As my kids are growing older, I am creating more and more boundaries to protect my first job: being a present and healthy Mom. Fellow Mamas, I know you understand!

This coming year I will be offering less full family sessions (only 3-4 per month), and will be leaning MORE into Mini Sessions. Therefore, if you want to be first to know when Mini Sessions are announced you MUST be on my Email List. You can join my Email List HERE!

At the beginning of 2026 I will announce all Mini Sessions for the year, rates for sessions, and any important details you need to know. Make sure you’re on the Email List if you want first dibs at any Mini Sessions!

Again, this business is only a success because of all the amazing people who choose to work with me. I am so thankful for you all, and I look forward to working with you all again in the future!

I will be announcing Christmas Minis SOON, so again, make sure you’re on the Email List for first dibs at those. (Those on the List have already been snagging spots. 😉)
