The world might be a fucking mess, but your photos don’t have to be, babe. Introducing my cheeky climate-themed mini-sessions: a bold, hilarious twist on traditional portraits, designed for couples, besties, and anyone who refuses to play by the rules. Whether you’re looking for funky couple photos or just want unforgettable snapshots with your lover and your pet, these quick, 20-minute mini sessions are for you.
Growing up, my mom was my first and most influential teacher in the art of humor. At a young age she exposed me to my holy trinity of humor: Robin Williams (the father), Steve Martin (the son), and Anthony Bourdain (the holy spirit). (Yes, Anthony Bourdain is a comedic icon in my eyes. Rewatch/reread his stuff. He’s funny as all fuck.) My mom had an incredible knack for finding light even in the darkest moments, and her sense of comedy became a guiding force in my life. For example, when she was diagnosed with cancer, she turned what could have been a devastating experience into an opportunity to laugh. We preemptively shaved her head so that when her hair DID start to fall out, we could just lint roll her noggin. Those moments weren’t just about humor; they were about taking control, finding joy, and refusing to let the heaviness of life crush us.
Her strength and humor shaped my outlook on life and my work. I’ve always believed that laughter connects us all—it’s a universal language. That’s why I bring humor and a sense of silliness into every photo session I shoot. Whether it’s these cheeky Christmas mini-sessions or elopement portraits, my goal is to capture the joy and fun in every moment. Life can be heavy, but when we embrace humor, we create memories that carry us through the hard times, and that’s something worth celebrating.
If you’re over staged smiles and cookie-cutter backdrops with mistletoe and perfectly wrapped presents, these sessions offer a perfect chance to break free, have some fun, create photos that scream individuality, and piss off your climate-crisis-denying uncle just in time for the holidays!
What to Expect: Fun, Funky, and Fully Yours
These are not your average photo sessions. Picture this: astroturf instead of snow, a retro lawn chair, a quirky Christmas tree, and props like a satirical climate-change newspaper (I worked really hard writing it… it’s the closest I’ll ever get to script writing for SNL). Wear whatever makes you feel fabulous—swimsuits, bold patterns, or your quirkiest summer outfit that you never get to wear. This setup is made for those who want something as bold and unique as they are.
We’re capturing the vibe of what feels like a mid-summer Christmas in a climate-shifting world. Think of it as an urban twist on traditional holiday portraits, perfect for artsy couples, tattooed besties, or pet parents looking for some fun, high-quality photos of them and their fur child.
Who Are These Mini Sessions For?
Whether you’re searching for creative couple photography, funky bestie photos, or an opportunity to include your fur-legged friends, these sessions are literally made for you. Bring your:
- Partner or Lover: Perfect for capturing fun, cheeky photos without having to get too lovey-dovey in front of a stranger (me).
- Best Friend: Show off your chosen family with fun, non-traditional portraits.
- Pets: Dogs, cats, or even that quirky bearded dragon—we’re here for it all. Plus photographing a lizard in a Santa hat is on my bucket list.
These sessions are great for anyone looking for:
- Laid-back couple photography
- Alternative portraits for pets and their people
- Fun, irreverent photos
- Inclusive photography that celebrates everyone’s unique vibe
Why These Mini-Sessions Are So Unique
Because you’re tired of the same old damn thing.
Let’s face it: traditional photos can feel a little stale, no? These sessions give you a space to express your personality and humor in a way that feels fresh and fun while also NOT breaking the bank. Whether you’re looking for funky engagement photography or quirky holiday card material, these photos will be anything but boring.
Because the world is burning—literally.
We’re not ignoring the climate crisis; we’re acknowledging it with laughter and creativity. These sessions are a tongue-in-cheek response to the chaos of our times, turning something heavy into a lighthearted experience you’ll never forget.
Because you deserve to be celebrated your way.
Whether you’re a couple, best friends, or someone who just really loves their dog, these sessions are all about creating something personal and meaningful.
Why Humor Matters
We’re only at the beginning of a climate crisis, and while that truth can feel heavy, humor is how we survive. Robin Williams once said, “Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma,” and that resonates deeply with me. Laughter gives us the power to reclaim joy in the face of uncertainty, and these sessions embody that spirit. They’re a chance to lean into the absurdity of our world and find light in the chaos.
When you step into these freaky little mini-sessions, you’re not just getting photos—you’re capturing a moment of defiance against the gloom. It’s about acknowledging the reality we’re all navigating without letting it crush us. You’ll walk away with images that feel joyful, empowering, and like a true reflection of who you are: someone who chooses to laugh, love, and live vibrantly, no matter what.
