Mini Photo Sessions in Durham Region & Kawartha Lakes (2025)

If you’re looking for the perfect setting for a mini photo session in 2025, you’re in luck! Durham Region and Kawartha Lakes are home to stunning sunflower fields, apple orchards, and lavender farms that provide breathtaking backdrops for your family photos. Whether you're looking for golden hour magic in a sunflower field, soft lavender hues in summer, or the crisp charm of an apple orchard in fall, there are plenty of options to choose from.

As a family photographer myself, I offer mini sessions year-round at my private acreage in Port Perry, Ontario.

Hey, I'm Sarah

I'm a lifestyle photographer in Durham Region. I blend gentle posing with natural movement, using prompts like laughter, walking, or playful interactions to create authentic moments. In editing, I keep colours and skin tones true-to-life. I love working with outdoorsy couples and adventurous families who don’t mind playing in the mud—whether in fields, forests, or on the farm!
