There’s something about fall that makes you want to slow down.

The cooler mornings, changing leaves, cozy outfits, and the excuse to get everyone together for photos. That’s exactly why we love our Birmingham fall mini sessions so much.

At Defining Moments Media, weddings will always be a huge part of what we do. But over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to photograph so many different chapters of life beyond the wedding day. Some of the people you’ll see throughout this post are past brides and grooms we’ve had the privilege of working with. Others are friends, family, and people who have become part of our journey in one way or another.

And honestly, we love that.

There’s something pretty special about photographing a couple on their wedding day and then getting to see them years later as their family grows. But our fall minis aren’t just for our past couples. They’re for families, couples, kiddos, friends, or anyone who wants a few updated photos while everything outside is looking its best.

Our 2026 Fall Mini Sessions

Our fall minis are designed to be short, simple, and fun. No complicated schedule. No spending hours in front of a camera. Just 20 minutes surrounded by beautiful autumn scenery and plenty of opportunities to capture genuine moments together.

This year, we’re offering sessions at two beautiful Birmingham-area locations:

Birmingham Botanical Gardens
October 25, 2026

Jemison Trail
November 1, 2026

Limited session times are available at each location.

What’s Included?

For $275, your fall mini session includes:

• 20-minute photography session
• Private online gallery
• Minimum of 15 beautifully edited, high-resolution images
• Print release

That’s it. Quick, easy, and a whole lot of fun.

Whether you’re looking for updated fall family photos in Birmingham, celebrating a new chapter with your significant other, chasing around the kids for some candid moments, or simply want a few beautiful photos to remember this season of life, these sessions are made for you.

And don’t worry about knowing how to pose. We’ll guide you through the session and let the natural moments happen along the way.

More Than Just Photos

One of our favorite things about photography is getting to watch people’s stories continue.

We might meet someone as they’re planning their wedding, photograph them as they say “I do,” and then years later see them again with a little one running around.

Or maybe we’ve known your family for years and get the chance to document another season of your life.

Those are the sessions that remind us why we love what we do.

Because family photography isn’t just about getting everyone to look at the camera and smile. It’s about remembering what this particular season of life felt like.

The tiny hands.

The big laughs.

The personalities that somehow get bigger every year.

And, of course, the inevitable chaos that comes with trying to get everyone in the same photo.

Come Hang Out With Us This Fall

So grab your family, your significant other, your kids, your best friend, or whoever you want in front of the camera and come spend 20 minutes with us in the fall glow.
