Life moves fast, and sometimes the idea of booking a full photoshoot can feel overwhelming, especially with little ones in tow. That’s where mini sessions come in. At Wattle Rose Photography, we believe in keeping things simple, meaningful, and relaxed. Our mini sessions in Lake Macquarie are designed to give you beautiful, heartfelt images without the stress (or the long time commitment) and at a lower price point.
Whether you're a busy parent, a couple chasing natural portraits, or just wanting to update your family photos, here’s why our 20-minute mini sessions in Lake Macquarie are such a great fit.

1. Perfect for Busy Families
Let’s be real, kids don’t always love being in front of a camera for an hour. Our 20-minute sessions are short and sweet, which means less time wrangling and more time having fun. We focus on capturing real smiles, cuddles, giggles, and all the little in-between moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
You’ll be amazed at how much magic we can create in just 20 minutes!




2. Affordable and Flexible
Mini sessions are a more accessible way to experience professional photography. For $100, you’ll receive:
A 20-minute outdoor session
10 beautifully edited high-resolution digital images
A private online gallery for viewing and downloading
The option to upgrade your gallery if you fall in love with more than 10 (and trust us, you might!)
It’s a beautiful way to treat yourself without committing to a full-length session.


3. Stunning Locations, Beautiful Light
All mini sessions are scheduled around golden hour, that dreamy time just at sunrise and before sunset when the light is soft, warm, and absolutely perfect. We handpick beautiful, natural outdoor locations across Lake Macquarie & Newcastle for example Catherine Hill Bay, Caves Beach, Murrays Beach, Redhead to give your photos a relaxed, coastal feel that’s full of life and connection.



4. A Great Way to “Try Before You Commit”
If you’ve never worked with a professional photographer before, mini sessions are a wonderful introduction. You get a feel for how we work, how relaxed and easygoing your session will be, and you leave with a gorgeous gallery of moments to treasure.


5. Real Moments, Real Memories
In just 20 minutes, we’ll capture more than just a pretty picture, we’ll freeze a moment in time. The way your toddler grabs your hand. The giggle fit your partner caused. The wind in your little one’s hair as they race toward the waves. Their little toes covered in sand. These aren’t stiff, posed portraits. They’re you. As you are. Right now.
