I hadn’t done Mini Sessions for years, and I confess, I was a little nervous…|San Diego Photographer, Ventura County Photographer, Carlsbad Photographer, Ojai Photographer

(That face- just too cute- get ready for more serious cuteness below!) ***** I am so used to spending between 1-2 hours with my clients at their sessions, so 20-30 minute minis seemed so intimidating! I don’t want to get into all of the “what if’s” that go through my head. But maybe that’s what…
