As the scorching heat of a typical September day in DFW, TX lingered outside, The Lumen Room Studio in Plano became a haven of coolness and creativity for the kickoff of the Fall Mini Season 2023. Seven different families, a mix of familiar faces and new ones, gathered to create lasting memories.

The decision to host the mini-sessions indoors was a wise one, given the sweltering temperatures outdoors. The Lumen Room Studio in Plano not only provided relief from the heat but also presented a canvas of beautiful natural light and a variety of backdrops and couches to enhance the visual narrative of each family’s unique story.

These unscripted moments became the heart of the session, weaving a tapestry of genuine emotions and connections.

Individual photos of each child became a cherished part of the mini-session ritual.

Through professional photography, we can pause it for just a moment to savor the present.
