Sometimes all it takes is 20 minutes and a little sunshine to create magic. That was the case with the Smith Family’s spring mini session at Philips Memorial Park in Cameron, NC. With their adorable twin boys in tow, we captured a gallery full of fun, candid, and heartfelt moments in record time. If you're on the hunt for a quick and easy way to update your family photos this year, a spring mini session might be exactly what you need.

Mini Sessions, Maximum Memories


The Smiths showed up with relaxed vibes, playful energy, and two little guys ready to explore. Mini sessions are perfect for families with young kids—short, sweet, and packed with movement. We made the most of our time with giggles, shoulder rides, and snuggles, all set against the natural charm of Philips Memorial Park.


Located in Cameron, North Carolina, this park is a hidden gem. With wide open spaces, tall trees, and a laid-back vibe, it’s one of my go-to spots for lifestyle family photography. Whether your kids want to run, cuddle, or just be silly, this spot gives us room to capture it all.

Twin Boys, Double the Fun


The Smiths' twin boys were full of personality and kept us all smiling the entire session. They played off each other perfectly—one exploring while the other struck a pose, then switching it up two seconds later. I always remind families that your kids don’t have to “sit still and smile” for us to get great shots. In fact, the best photos usually come from just letting them be themselves.


By the end of our mini session, we had a full gallery with so many keepers—enough variety to create prints, gifts, and a beautiful photo wall at home.
