Caps, smiles, and the sweetest milestone moments — Little Graduation Minis 2026 are officially open at Fairchild Photo Co.!
Join me at Nathanael Greene Park in Springfield, MO for bright, natural-light portraits celebrating your graduate and all they’ve accomplished this year. Whether they’re finishing preschool, kindergarten, or moving on to their next big step, these sessions are a beautiful way to honor this milestone in a simple, timeless way.
These sessions are designed primarily for little graduates, but older kiddos are absolutely welcome too! They’re quick, sweet mini sessions focused on capturing your child in their cap and gown, allowing their personality and excitement to shine without a long or overwhelming session.
With soft greenery, open space, and beautiful natural light, the focus stays on your child — their pride, their smiles, and the excitement of what’s next.
