Clothesline Mini Sessions | Nostalgia in Every Frame
There’s something about a backyard clothes that just brings you back, isn’t there?
The flutter of cotton in the breeze, the wooden clothespins, the smell of sunshine baked into every thread— it’s more than just laundry. It’s a memory. It’s childhood. It’s summer at Grandma’s. Its barefoot mornings and warm, sticky afternoons. For me personally, it’s the summer I spent in Connecticut, swimming in the neighborhood lake and running through the tall grass around the little blue cottage. It’s one of my fondest, and possibly happiest, early childhood memories. And that’s exactly what inspired my Clothesline Mini Sessions.
These sessions are a love letter to the slower days. They’re full of natural light, curiosity, play and real-life magic. I wanted to create something that felt timeless— simple, sweet and deeply personal. A scene that could have just as easily been plucked from the 1960s as it is today.
Why Clothesline Minis?
Because it’s not just about the photo— it’s about the feeling.
These sessions are deisgned to capture connection and play. Toddlers in overalls, sisters in eyeles dresses, mamas with their babies on their hips. Families carefoot in the grass. Kids helping hang the clothes. It’s less posing, amd more being. Less perfection, more presence.
Whether you’re a mama wanting to freeze this fleeting stage, or a grandparent who remembers clotheslines from your own childhood, these sessions are meant to feel like a warm hug from the past.
What to Expect
Each session is short and sweet— perfect for little attention spans. You’ll arrive to a charming outdoor setup, complete with vintage-style clotheslines strung between trees, classic linens in various shades of white and that soft, golden evening light that we all dream about.
I’ll guide you with prompts to bring out natural interactions and genuine emotion. No forced smiles— just your family, being yourselves, wrapped in sunshine and simplicity.
A Few Stying Tips
These sessions shine with soft colors, textures, and vintage-inspired pieces. Thing cotton, linen, rompers and dress with smocking, rolled-up jeans. Earth tones, neutrals and soft pastels photograph beautifully against the lush backdrop. If you’re not sure what to wear, I’m always happy to help you style your crew!
Limited Spots— Always a Favorite!
Clothesline Minis have become a client favorite for a reason— they’re nostalgic, unique, and oh-so-sweet. These sessions are offered just once or twice a year, and they tend to fill up quickly.
If this sounds like something your heart needs— a moment of joy, a piece of your story captured forever— I’d be honored to photograph it.
Let’s hang out (literally) and make some magic.
