The photoshoot was super cool and fun. It was way cooler than school photo days usually are, and it felt really natural to me (because I love my mom).
As a mom, your phone is probably full of quick snapshots of your kids. And maybe a few rushed selfies, where you're technically in the frame...
But those don't really show what your bond feels like. They don’t capture your embrace. Your presence. Your love. You’re there with them in every moment — just not in the pictures. One day, they’ll be grown. And what will they have to look back on?
​
This mini session is a simple way to change that. In just 20 minutes, you’ll walk away with genuine images that show your love — and your place in their story.

All the Mothers & Grandmothers! This is your opportunity to capture meaningful memories with your children & grandchildren. Let's create gorgeous generational photographs, that are adored for years to come.
Mini sessions are perfect for you, if...
You can fit a short portrait session into your busy schedules and want to have only a few images with you and your children.
You’re always the one taking the photos in family events and it makes you sad that you're missing from them all the time.
You think that the perfect Mother's Day gift for your own Mom is a framed picture of you & your children (and maybe of her)

These photos wonderfully captured the deep and tender connection between us. They will make a perfect present to grandma, treasuring how her love is passed on to the next generations. It was such a lovely and natural experience for us!
Hello, I'm Janka.
In case you're wondering...
I’m a mom too. And like so many of us, I’ve spent years behind the camera — capturing every little moment, making sure everyone else is seen.
But somewhere along the way, I realized… I was missing. I was there for every laugh, every scraped knee, every sleepy cuddle — but I wasn’t in the photos. And that meant my daughter wouldn’t see me in the story of her childhood. That thought hit me hard.
So I made a promise: I would step into the frame.
Not perfectly posed, not polished — just present. Just real.
Because one day, these photos will be all she has to hold onto. Proof that I was there. That I loved her beyond words.
​
That’s why I created this Mother’s Day mini session. So that You, too, can be seen — not just as a mom, but as part of your family’s story.
​
It’s not just a photo. It’s a legacy of love.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mini session and how is it different from a regular session?
Mini sessions are a smaller version of a full session. They are meant up to 4 people because the shooting time is only 20 minutes whereas a full session is about one hour. Mini sessions always run like clockwork, they run back to back so it is crutial to not be late for your session.
What happens if someone got sick? Can I cancel my slot?
You can cancel your spot till 9:00 on Wednesday, 30.4.2025 via email or phone with a full refund of your payment. After that time, mini session fees are non refundable but if you can’t make it on the day you have 3 options:
-
In case you'd like to cancel before 9:00 30.4.2025 contact me via email or phone call and I will fully refund your payment.
