Graduation Mini Sessions at Jax Mini Sessions Studio and Jacksonville Florida photo studio

Perfect for busy seniors, college grads, and proud parents who just want a few great photos!

Not everyone wants (or needs) a full blown senior photo session. Maybe your senior just wants a few nice cap and gown portraits. Maybe you’re a busy college graduate who wants to document the milestone without spending hours getting ready or posing for dozens of outfit changes. You just want something quick, easy, and beautiful to mark this special moment.

That’s exactly why we offer mini graduation portrait sessions right here at Jax Mini Sessions Studio in Jacksonville, Florida.

Why a Mini Graduation Session Might Be Exactly What You’re Looking For:

You don’t need a ton of photos
You want something short, simple, and stress-free
You only have one outfit to wear (cap & gown + your favorite outfit underneath!)
You want beautiful, professional portraits to mark this season of life

How Our Jacksonville Mini Graduation Sessions Work:

Our mini sessions are designed to be quick and efficient — but still give you polished, professional photos you’ll be proud to share and print.

  • 1 Outfit (cap & gown + optional simple portraits without it)
  • A few different backdrops
  • Soft, clean, natural-looking studio lighting
  • Short session time
  • A beautiful gallery of high-quality images to choose from

Whether you’re celebrating a high school graduation in Jacksonville, a college graduation at UNF, FSCJ, JU, or beyond, or just want to mark this exciting season, this session is designed to fit easily into your schedule — even on busy school nights or rainy days.

Our Studio Is Ready — No Matter The Weather

We totally get it — schedules get busy, Florida weather is unpredictable, and sometimes your only window to take photos is in the evening after classes or work.

For Sarah’s recent cap and gown session, we had one of those classic Jacksonville evenings — dark skies, rainy weather, and gloomy light. But that didn’t stop us! Inside the studio, we used professional studio lighting (our ProPhoto B10X with a softbox) to recreate that soft, natural light look — even though the sun was nowhere to be found.

That’s one of the biggest perks of shooting in our Jacksonville photo studio — we’re fully equipped to handle any lighting situation, day or night, rain or shine. You’ll still get clean, beautiful portraits no matter what.

How to Prepare for Your Mini Graduation Portrait Session:

  • Bring your cap & gown
  • Wear your favorite outfit underneath for a few non-cap portraits
  • Bring any small personal touches (honor cords, stoles, diploma, or special accessories)
  • Arrive on time — sessions are short and sweet!

That’s it! We’ll take care of the rest.

The Perfect Option for Parents Who Just Want “A Few Good Pictures”

We know not every senior wants a full photo shoot with multiple outfits and locations — and as parents, you might just want a few nice, frame-worthy portraits to remember this special season. That’s exactly what these mini sessions are for.

Quick. Easy. Professional. Stress-free.
Right here in Jacksonville.
