It's time to book your family photos for 2025!

If you are seeing this page, you know how this works!  30 minute sessions where we play, walk, run, snuggle, and laugh our way to an incredible image galley.  All of the final, fully-edited and print-ready images are included and will be delivered via digital download.

Please note: my schedule in the early fall is its own living thing - I add new mini-session dates and locations as clients request, and spots that aren't booked may be removed to accommodate that.  If you don't see what you need when you are ready to book, don't hesitate to reach out!

*New for 2025*
These short-and-sweet sessions are only being offered to past Jessica McHale Photography clients. 

If you have someone you'd like to refer please have them reach out hello@jessicamchale.com  If their youngest child is age 5 or older, and space is available, they will be invited to book from this page. For families with younger children, full family sessions are available.
