These 15-minute sessions take place at the AM Family Photography Studio in Somerville against simple white and dark backdrops, creating portraits that feel equally at home on a holiday card or framed on your wall. Your session fee reserves your slot: choose your collection of digital downloads and print credit after you see your beautiful images!
With a lounging area and dressing room onsite, plentiful parking, and a playground across the street, these sessions are set up to be as quick and easy as possible! I'll do some gentle prompting, then stepping back to let you interact naturally.

I love how children have their own, tangible gravitational fields, pulling others into the constellations that become family. I specialize in guiding you to the unposed moments that get to the heart of your unique connections with each other. In 2025 I was honored to be selected by the National Association of Portrait and Child Photographers (NAPCP) as a certified Master Family Photographer, and my work with families has been featured in multiple industry top publications.

Hi, I'm Adrianne
was a photojournalist for 10 years before deciding to try out this whole parenthood thing. I had no idea it would be the best thing ever: tender and awe-inspiring and messy and hilarious, not to mention the ultimate physical endurance in sleeplessness and back pain (but the carrier was so cozy).
I
"I left the session thinking we probably wouldn’t get even one good photo — the kids were crying, I was sure I’d have a double chin or my eyes closed in every shot. But Adrianne worked her magic. Not only did we get smiling, beautiful portraits, but she somehow captured the small, fleeting moments of laughter and connection between the chaos. She saw what we couldn’t see in the moment.
The number of compliments we’ve received on our Christmas card this year is unreal — people saying it looked like it belonged in a magazine, or that our family looked so happy and relaxed. We’re already looking forward to our next shoot with her."
"Oh my goodness — these are all beautiful, Adrianne! You worked some photographic magic here. I love them all! Choosing is going to be very hard, lol, and I’m glad there is an option to not choose :)
They really are fantastic, so natural and “us” at this precise moment in our lives. They really capture our normal dynamic, which is so much laughter all the time. THANK YOU!!!"
Hi Adrianne,
We had such a wonderful time with you!! I need to tell you — Mylo cannot stop talking about his friend Adrianne who gave him a truck and car!! He sleeps with both now. Thank you for making that such a great and warm atmosphere. I was very nervous doing this solo and you made everything such an amazing experience. Every detail from your beautiful studio to the gift bags and treats for the kids — just perfection!"
"These are wonderful! Thank you again! This really means a lot to us. I love them all! "
"AHH! I keep going through these while Sasha is in daycare and swooning. I love them so much. What a treasure; They just totally capture our light together and I cannot wait to hang some of these up to look at every day.
What will I think in ten years? That question from your getting ready email kind of has been kicking around in me.. I get a little nostalgic while I look at the photos even though I'm living these moments right now.
You're amazing; thank you for sharing your gift."
"Thank you, Adrianne! The pictures are so lovely; my mom originally thought she would want a couple photos but we both ended up loving every single one. ♥️"
Mini Sessions
FAQs About the
Q: Who are these mini sessions for?
A: Busy families who don't want to compromise on beautiful, genuine images! Studio sessions are great for genuine, emotive portraits that look incredible hanging on the wall; even when you're getting other more documentary-style family photos taken throughout the year. All ages and abilities are welcome (note: the studio is on the 3rd floor and unfortunatley we do not have elevator access).
Q: How much is required up front to reserve my spot?
A: $150 holds your specific slot! If you have any questions about the fee or what's included, send me a note at info@amfamilyphoto.com.
Q: How many people can i bring?
A: Immediate family only, please! I recommend mini sessions for families no larger than 6 total people, just to ensure we have enough time and space for all of you together as well as different combinations of family members. If your family is larger than that or you'd like to incorporate any pets, please reach out to schedule a full session!
Q: How & when will I receive my gallery?
A: By the end of the day on November 20th you'll receive an email from me with a link to a watermarked online gallery of 15 total images, where you can select your desired collection of digitals and print credit.
Q: What's the deal with the print credit? Can I print my images elsewhere too?
A: Creating beautiful heirloom prints from your images is honestly my second favorite part of your session (you know, after the session itself)! I want to help you make sure your images don't just disappear into a folder in the cloud somewhere, which is why I include a generous print credit in all collections. I'll have samples of everything in my studio so that you can start thinking about how you might like to use your credit!
All downloaded images include a print release, meaning you are welcome to print your digital downloads at the lab of your choice. I recommend going through my labs when possible since they are the very best in the industry, and I know the colors are calibrated correctly with my monitor! For consumer-facing labs, I recommend mpix.com for prints and artifactuprising.com for albums and gifts.
Q: What if I want one or two more downloads Than what's included in collection a or b, but i don't need them all?
A: That's totally an option! You can purchase images a la carte at my standard rate of $125/each.
15 minute long sessions for up to 6 family members, featuring white and dark seamless studio backdrops, and some optional festive props for fun. Choose your collection of downloads and artwork after you see your full gallery of edited images on November 20th! Wardrobe and session preparation guide included, and all of my help along the way. I can't wait to see you!
