Includes all listed features
While my standard seasonal mini-sessions are valued at $185, these four specific slots are 100% free as an exclusive gesture of gratitude for our Buy Nothing Group. There are no hidden fees, no catches, and no payment required. Because spots are extremely limited, please only claim a slot if you are completely certain you can make your time.

FAQ
What to wear & bring?
- Clothing: Neutral tones, earth tones, soft pastels, or light denim look absolutely stunning in this field setting. Avoid heavy patterns or large logos so your beautiful faces remain the main focus!
- Footwear: We will be shooting in an open field next to the trail, so opt for comfortable footwear like flats, boots, or clean sneakers. Avoid high heels to stay safe in the grass.
- Bug Protection: Because we are shooting closer to sunset in a grassy field, insect repellent is highly recommended! Please apply it right before you walk up to our session spot.
- Pets: Four-legged family members are absolutely welcome! Please bring them on a secure leash, and don't forget to pack a few favorite treats to help capture their attention.
Cancellation & No-Show Policy
Because these community gift slots are highly limited and completely free, they are in very high demand. If you claim a spot, you are taking a time slot that a neighbor would love to have.
If an unexpected emergency arises and you absolutely must cancel, you are required to provide at least twenty-four (24) hours notice so your slot can be passed along to another family on the waiting list. No-shows or last-minute cancellations without warning will forfeit the slot, and it will be reassigned immediately. Thank you for helping me keep this a fair and wonderful event for everyone in our neighborhood!
What happens if it rains or there is bad weather?
Since we are shooting outdoors closer to sunset, safety and good light are top priorities. If severe weather or heavy rain is forecast for Saturday, June 13th, I will make an official weather call by 12:00 PM that afternoon. If we have to postpone, the entire event will move to our official rain date on Sunday evening, June 14th, keeping your exact same time slot. Please make sure you are available for both dates before booking!
Where exactly should we park and meet you at sligo Park?
Please park in the main parking lot near the park entrance. I will be waiting to greet you in the open grassy field right next to the stables, just look for a photographer with a camera. Please plan to arrive 5 to 10 minutes before your slot so we can start exactly on time and maximize your 15 minutes! Exact pin will be sent on Friday!
