Mini sessions

A refined way to begin — without waiting for the perfect moment.

Mini Sessions are shorter, more structured portrait sessions created for families who want something beautiful — without the depth or time commitment of a full experience.

They are ideal if you:

• Feel comfortable in front of the camera
• Don’t need long warm-up time
• Want a small, meaningful collection of images
• Prefer a clear, efficient session

There are two types of Mini Sessions offered throughout the year:

20-MINUTE SESSIONS.
DESIGNED WITH CLARITY AND INTENTION.

Motherhood Minis
Weekday studio sessions in Doreen, designed for mothers and young children.

Seasonal Minis
Limited-release outdoor sessions offered at selected times and locations.

Different pace. Different purpose. The same refined aesthetic.

Two considered options — crafted with the same care and intention as my full sessions.

Mini pricing

Offered a few times a year at carefully selected locations across Melbourne’s North-East.

These are limited release sessions.
Held on set dates.
Designed for families who are confident in front of the camera and happy to move with a little structure.

A small, refined collection of images.
Five digital files included. Delivered with the same care — just in a lighter format.

Spots are released to my mailing list first.
Because some seasons don’t wait.

Available year-round on weekdays in my  studio.

Thoughtfully shaped with mothers in the early years in mind — when days feel long, hands are full, and you are rarely in the frame.
These sessions are gentle and unhurried, led by your child and centred on connection.

A small, intentional collection of images.
Five digital files included.
The same care and refinement as every Rochelle Swift Photography session.

Because this season is fleeting.
You deserve to be present in it.

Motherhood Mini

Seasonal Mini

You’re confident in front of the camera

Your children settle quickly and respond well to gentle direction

You’re happy with a structured, efficient 20-minute session

You’re wanting a small, meaningful snapshot of this season

You don’t need a large gallery or extended storytelling

Mini sessions are focused and time-aware.
They’re beautifully crafted — but intentionally concise.

You or your children need time to relax and feel comfortable

You value a slower, gently guided experience

You want space for connection to unfold naturally

You’re hoping for deeper storytelling and a broader gallery

You’re investing in heirlooms, albums, or a complete collection

Full sessions are immersive.
They allow room to soften, settle, and truly be seen.

WHICH SESSION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Mini sessions are shorter and intentionally focused — ideal for capturing a small collection of meaningful images. Full sessions allow for deeper storytelling, multiple combinations, and heirloom print collections.

What makes a mini different from a full session?

Motherhood Minis are held in my Doreen studio.
Seasonal Minis are offered at thoughtfully selected outdoor locations across Melbourne’s North-East.

What locations are available?

Seasonal minis are offered at select times throughout the year and often book quickly. Joining my mailing list ensures you’re the first to know when dates are released.
