say "No!" to forced smiles and awkward poses.
you deserve the family photos you've been dreaming of!
These short-and-sweet sessions are perfect for the summertime! The breeze off the water keeps everyone comfortable with the warm temperatures, and the golden skies at sunset make for the most stunning backdrop.
Your 15 minute session is enough time to get the 'essential' photos, have some laughs along the way, and wrap things up with ease!
You'll also receive a gallery afterwards where you can choose 10 digital photos included with your package, order additional photos if you'd like, and even order prints and more to display your memories on your wall.

Summer Mini Sessions are my favourite - I look forward to them all year long!
After capturing these memories for dozens of families every summer over the last ten years, the beaches of Port Stanley have become my home-away-from-home.
I can't wait to meet you on the beach this year!

I know - the idea of family photos can be exciting, but also a little stressful. I've been there, friend! Let's be real - no one has fun trying to get all the kids to smile in front of the Christmas tree, and photos from your cell phone rarely look good printed on your wall.
Would you believe me if I told you it doesn't have to be that way?!
You deserve quality photos (with you in them!), cherished memories, and a relaxing, fun experience with your family. Summer Minis in Port Stanley will be just that, and so much more!
Join hundreds of others in the LIBP family, book your mini session and don't miss another moment as your family grows together!
Will I see you on the beach?!

Unfortunately, summer mini sessions are the ONLY sessions offered at Life is Beautiful Photography that aren't ideal for a dog. The beaches of Port Stanley have a no-pets policy, and there are many distractions around that are exciting to pets!
That being said, I do offer anytime mini sessions and can recommend similar locations that are pet-friendly!
01. Can we bring our dog?
Absolutely! However, please note that due to time constraints, groups larger than 6 people will be required to book two sessions, back-to-back, in order to ensure enough time to capture photos of everyone!
02. Can we include Grandparents?
This is the most commonly asked question of them all! And one I am more than happy to help answer :)
