About Family Mini Sessions
Sometimes, a full family photo session feels like too much of a commitment — and that’s ok!
Mini sessions are the perfect way to test the waters and create a few family photos that are still beautiful and candid.
Each session is short and sweet, just twenty minutes, and focuses on documenting family portraits that have a natural and relaxed feel to them.
Even though these are in a studio setting, my goal is always to create a space that is comfortable so everyone can be themselves. A mini session is spent playing with the kids, giving hugs, and sharing what you love about each other. No standing and smiling, no pressure to sit still.
This is how we create family photos that are true to you.
Let me take care of the details for you…
Each mini session includes your booking, easy to read guides to help you feel prepared and to know what to expect, a wardrobe guide to serve as inspiration for what to wear, and a pre-consultation phone call with me to answer any questions you have + help with wardrobe.
These things we do in advance are an important part of making sure everyone feels at ease and can show up feeling prepared… aka how we create those candid natural photos.
About two weeks later, you will be able to download your images and use your print credit from your beautiful online gallery.

The calgary studio is located downtown on 1st street and the golden bc location is in one of the downtown yoga studios — exact locations will be provided upon booking.
What Past Clients Have To Say —
I was nervous to be photographed but she made us feel very comfortable and it was a really fun experience. Her photos are really beautiful and captured some amazing candid moments of our family. These are true lifestyle photos of our family in our element.
She was fun to work with, our son loves her on top of being a real professional. I almost decided against photos but I am so glad we did, we will cherish these forever.
What Past Clients Have To Say —
I would definitely recommend Jena Lee Photographs, and hope to have pictures taken with her again.
Jena was understanding and had several tricks up her sleeve to help with the situation. She was also super reassuring that their behaviour was normal.
Despite the meltdowns, we ended up with lots of wonderful pictures to choose from. Jena did an excellent job of making us feel natural and captured the love between all of us.
It was a positive experience and we are so pleased with the results. Thank you Jena!
What Past Clients Have To Say —
Jena was easy to book, explain the process, access the photos and how to purchase prints. I chose Jena as I had viewed other peoples photographs and liked that they had a candid feeling to them in a more informal, family setting. My family loves our photos and highly recommend.
What Past Clients Have To Say —
Our photo session with Jena was so fun! She has an amazing gift of putting everyone around her at ease and letting the photoshoot unfold naturally. Even our 2 year old opened up to her and she was able to capture her actual personality. And the photos turned out so beautiful! Thank you Jena!
What Past Clients Have To Say —
Jena has an amazing gift of capturing the natural fun of togetherness. She captures living memories. Looking forward to another session. All the best Jena. Thanks!
