London Ontario Photographer | Choosing the Perfect Mini Session
So you’ve decided to book a mini—a twenty-minute session with a gallery of beautifully edited photos from which to choose your 10-15 photos (depending on the package). There are many reasons to opt for a mini session. Perhaps you have young children (or a partner) who can only handle a shorter session, or you only require a handful of fresh photos. Or maybe you want to have more than one session per year, and prefer shorter sessions in different locations.
Now the question is: Which mini session is perfect for you? Raw Footage Photographer offers a variety of seasonal mini sessions, each with their own charm and appeal. You might pick a mini session based on the setting (Maybe you’re more of a beach person than a woods person? Or maybe you need a location that doesn’t require much travel, or perhaps there are accessibility concerns to consider?), or you might pick a mini session based on the timing (Do you have a special milestone coming up in a specific month? A favourite season? A kiddo who doesn’t love the cold?), or maybe your children have an early bedtime, and a fall session—with its earlier time slots—works best for you.
If you’re ready to book, check the booking page to see what’s currently open. To be the first to know about future mini session booking dates (and to have priority to snag your preferred time slot), make sure you’re on the advance notice list, either by emailing me at sophie@rawfootagephotos.com or by filling out the contact form, with the subject line: “Advance Notice List".

Tania + Joel | Rock Glen Waterfall Engagement Photos
An engagement session at Rock Glen Conservation has been on my photographer bucket list for a long time. The location requires a willingness to get up very early, drive out to Arkona (just outside of London, Ontario), and be up for an adventure. Tania and Joel were game, and despite the freezing cold, the sun was glowing and the fall colours were at peak levels of breathtaking. We had so much fun exploring the waterfall—these two are so playful and affectionate, and I’m in love with the many candid shots we captured. Here are a few favourites from their engagement shoot. I can’t wait for their 2025 wedding!
P.S.: Scroll to the bottom for the grand finale… Joel was ALL IN for the waterfall experience! ;)
London Ontario Wedding Photographer | Danny and Christina's Woodsy Engagement Session
Danny and Christina had their woodsy engagement session in the early Spring, when buds were just starting to form into leaves, and everything was slowly going from brown to green. That time of year where it’s still chilly enough to wear a sweater, but you can feel Summer getting closer with each passing day. Here are a few favourites from their e-session!
London Ontario Family Photographer | Tree Farm Mini Sessions
Tree Farm Minis open up for booking to the advance notice list tomorrow, which means it’s time to look back on last year’s sessions. I love these festive minis, and as always they will be the last minis of the year! Booking will open up for the public on the booking page on September 16th.
London Ontario Family Photographer | Fall Woods Minis
Fall Minis are officially open for booking, which means it’s time to look bak on last years Fall sessions in the woods. I don’t specifically plan my Fall minis around trees with changing leaves (They’re either way up high in a mature tree or on the ground, which means that anything other than a wide shot gives me a tree bark background - not my favourite ;) ). Instead I am a sucker for golden, overgrown grasses and Autumn wildflowers. I loves these sessions and cannot wait to be back in this same location for Fall Minis again this year.
