Limited Release – May 2nd/3rd 2026

Mother’s Day
Mini-Sessions

Welcome to a special release of Mini Sessions in Melbourne with Bec Matheson Photography. These are short photo sessions held at set dates and locations during the year.

These short, relaxed photo sessions are perfect for families who want beautiful, natural images without a big time commitment or need a less expensive option for 2026. Mini sessions are held just a few times a year, and they always sell out quickly the best way to be first in line is to join the waitlist below.

My Melbourne mini sessions are not based around a ‘set’, and I don’t use props. Natural family photos that work all year round. Just 15 minutes of easygoing, real connection, ideal for families who want photos that feel like you. Locations change throughout the year (sometimes bush, sometimes beach, sometimes sunflower fields, sometimes pet-friendly).
Mini sessions CANNOT be booked outside these scheduled dates.

Weather policy
If conditions are deemed unsuitable
an alternate date will be provided

Who are these mini sessions for?

  • Immediate families ONLY (up to 6 people max)

Want groups of cousins or friends together? You’re welcome to book back-to-back minis for each family unit. Full Terms & Conditions can be viewed here.

This morning my six year old could not find her be This morning my six year old could not find her beloved mini photo album (which she needed for “star of the week” to show her classmates)… it’s bright red, so 🤷‍♀️ I had to dig in some of the loose photos I have printed so she had something - apparently I haven’t done that for a while as most of them did not include her (the youngest) 🤣 better print some more photos. I love albums but it can be helpful to have single images around for times like this haha. It also made me want to make a good old school slip in album for each of my girls… stay tuned.
Love a bushland session! For families wanting to b Love a bushland session! For families wanting to book and need an easy way to find a date please reach out and I’ll send you through my availability calendar which goes all the way through to January. I also have a pretty nifty location suggestion system that gives you a great big visual list of spots across Melbourne.
Happy four years guys! Some weddings stick with yo Happy four years guys! Some weddings stick with you. It was joy and chaos (and really rather a lot of people in a smallish space - I spent much of it as a short person squeezing in between people with camera up over my head) this wedding had the most amazing joyus peopley happy vibe. They threw a first birthday into the mix. Had no dedicated portrait session. Great food. Done deliberately well without crazy fuss. So good.

Remembering details to link is a smidge tricky without pulling up the old job but it was @zenalythgo.celebrant @mali_bakes and the job came via the generous @sppsimonpickeringphotography who has a knack for sending great clients my way 😆 thanks Simon!!
