The Velvet Frame

09/15/2026

Fall Mini Sessions are officially live.

The Velvet Frame was created around one simple idea: the photos we take today become the memories we keep forever.

The tiny hands.
The missing teeth.
The way they lean into you.
The season of life you don’t realize you’ll miss until it’s gone.

This fall, I’m opening a limited collection of mini sessions designed to create warm, timeless images that feel less like “family pictures” and more like something worth keeping.

Think heirloom photographs.
Christmas cards you actually love.
Frames on the wall.
Photos your kids may someday show their own children.

One minute they're asking you to tie their shoes.

The next, they're putting on a cap and gown.

Senior year goes fast, but photos let you hold onto a little piece of it forever.

A few last-minute Cap & Gown Mini Sessions are still available. Message me for details.

This is the moment you’ll wish you could freeze: the season before everything changes.

Cap & gown minis aren’t just for announcements or posts - they’re for remembering exactly who they were right before the next chapter began.

Because football isn’t just a game — it’s sweat, strength, and heart.
These football minis were made to capture the edge, the focus, and the fire that drives you.
