The Magic of Quick Candids: Small Sessions, Big Feeling

Life moves fast — and sometimes the most meaningful memories are tucked into the in-between.

Quick Candid sessions were created for just that: the laughter, the glances, the way your kid grabs your hand or your partner leans in close.

No long session. No pressure to be perfect. Just 20 minutes to be yourself — and let me capture what that really looks like.

What Are Quick Candids?

Quick Candids are short and sweet photo sessions I offer just a few times a year — usually 2 to 3 seasonal dates. Each one is hosted at a handpicked location with beautiful natural light and an easygoing vibe.

You won’t need to pose or prepare anything fancy — I’ll gently guide you with small, meaningful prompts that bring out natural emotion and connection, like:

  • “Show me how you greet each other at the end of the day.”
  • “Tell them one thing you secretly admire about them.”
  • “Take a slow walk, holding hands like it’s your favorite kind of Saturday.”
  • “Share a laugh like you just remembered something funny.”
  • “Give them the kind of hug you’d want to remember years from now.”

It’s not about doing it “right.” It’s about showing up as you are — and letting that be enough.

Why Choose a Quick Candid Session?

  • Time-Efficient: With just 20 minutes, you can have a professional photo session that fits into your busy day.
  • Authentic Moments: These sessions focus on capturing natural interactions and emotions, resulting in photos that truly reflect you.
  • Affordable: At $200, Quick Candids provide a cost-effective option for professional photography.
  • Stress-Free: With the location and time pre-arranged, all you need to do is show up and enjoy the experience.

What's Included?

Each Quick Candid session includes:

  • A 20-minute session at a pre-selected location.
  • 5 professionally edited, web-ready digital downloads.
  • 1 high-quality, print-ready digital download.

Optional add-ons are available, such as advanced editing, photo albums, behind-the-scenes videos, and additional digital downloads.

Who Are These Sessions For?

These sessions are built for real life — the kind where love, chaos, and laughter all live side by side.

  • You’re a busy parent who just wants a few honest, joy-filled photos — no bribery or stiff smiles required.
  • You and your partner are in a season worth remembering (even if it’s not “milestone” perfect).
  • You want a photo of yourself that actually feels like you, but don’t want the fuss of a full session.
  • You love the idea of natural, meaningful images — but you’re short on time, or attention spans.

Whatever brings you here, you’re welcome — exactly as you are.

How to Book

Quick Candids are only offered 2–3 times per year, and spots tend to go fast. Here’s how it all works:

  • Sessions are announced 6–8 weeks ahead of time — through my email list first.
  • Booking officially opens 4 weeks before the session date.
  • Email subscribers get the scoop early, plus reminders (I send emails about every other week — no spam, just the good stuff).
  • When booking is open, you’ll head right to this page to grab your time slot.
  • Once you’re booked, I’ll send over your Quick Candids Welcome Guide — packed with everything you need to know to feel prepared and excited.

If you want first dibs (and a gentle nudge when it’s time), join my newsletter here — it’s the best way to make sure you don’t miss out.

When’s the Next One?

The next round of Quick Candid sessions is coming soon — think late summer vibes, golden hour light, and relaxed, playful energy.

Final dates haven’t dropped yet, but I’ll be announcing them to my email list first. If you want early access (and a gentle reminder when it’s time to book), join Casey's Corner list above.

✨ Pro tip: These sessions tend to fill quickly — especially the golden hour spots — so being on the list is the best way to snag your favorite time.

A Little Note Before You Go

Whether it’s a hug, a glance, or a laugh you didn’t plan for — these are the moments worth remembering. Quick Candids are a chance to pause, connect, and keep a little piece of this season. I’d love to photograph it for you. Hope to see you soon. ❤️
