NYC Mini Session — Family, Couples & Portrait Photography | Juliet Karan

Mini Sessions in NYC

Beautiful family, motherhood and couples photos in just 20 minutes


No stiff poses. No stress. No spending half your day on a photoshoot.

Hi, I’m Juliet — a NYC family photographer and mom. I create relaxed mini sessions that capture genuine connection, real emotions, and beautiful images you’ll love for years.


What to Expect

Short. Fun. Effortless. Mini sessions are designed to capture beautiful, natural moments without feeling rushed. Whether it’s a family session, motherhood portraits, or couples — I’ll guide you through every step to make the experience easy and enjoyable.

How the 20 Minutes Flow

I structure every session so we capture everything without rushing:

  • First 5 min — Classic portraits, looking at the camera for timeless shots
  • Next 10 min — Natural interactions, connection, real emotions
  • Last 5 min — Movement! Running, twirling, laughing — whatever feels natural for you


What Can We Capture in 20 Minutes?

You’d be surprised how much fits into a mini session:

  • Full family portraits 
  • Individual shots of each child 
  • Mom & Dad together 
  • Candid emotional moments full of love and joy

Most clients leave amazed at how much we accomplish in such a short time.

We had a mini photoshoot, and even though our baby was crying and had caught a little virus, the pictures turned out absolutely perfect! I honestly didn’t expect that. You’re so talented, professional, easy-going, and positive. I loved our photoshoot. Thank you for capturing our family so beautifully and giving us such wonderful memories! 🤍
