A Meaningful Business Bonus: Company Mini Sessions for Employees | Topeka Family Photographer
The Business of Connection
There’s something special about walking into a business and seeing people, not just logos and mission statements, on the walls. Family images, laughter, connection, and love tell you a story about what matters most to a company.
More and more Topeka businesses are looking for meaningful ways to connect with their teams, celebrate milestones, and invest in the people behind the work. One of my favorite ways to do that is through company sponsored family mini sessions.
Offer Family Mini Sessions as a staff bonus
It’s a win win. Employees receive something heartfelt and lasting, and the company gets to showcase those connections within their offices or on their website. When your walls feature your people, real families and genuine smiles, it transforms the atmosphere of your business.
What Are Company Mini Sessions
Think of them as a thoughtful employee perk, part appreciation gift, part morale boost. Businesses can book a set of mini sessions through me, often held on one day or weekend, and gift them to their team. Each family gets a short, beautifully directed session and a curated collection of professional images to cherish and display.

Why This Works So Well
1. It builds culture.
A photo hanging in the hallway says, We value our people. That’s powerful. It tells clients, partners, and employees that you believe in community.
2. It’s a lasting gesture.
Unlike a one time gift card or branded swag, professional photos are something families hold onto for years. It’s the kind of gift that keeps meaning long after the camera is packed away.
3. It supports local business.
When Topeka companies partner with local photographers, it keeps creativity and connection right here in our community.
How It Works
It’s simple.
We set a date and location, outdoors, in your office, or at a chosen spot in Topeka or surrounding area.
Your employees sign up for individual mini session slots.
After the session, each family receives a small gallery of edited, high quality images.
You can also choose to include one framed print from each family to display in your office, creating a beautiful and personal gallery wall that highlights what makes your business human.
A Thoughtful Idea for the Holidays or Team Celebrations
Company mini sessions make wonderful end of year gifts or employee appreciation bonuses. They’re especially meaningful around the holidays when families are already gathering and celebrating together.
Quick Tips for Businesses Planning Mini Sessions
Plan ahead. Early fall and spring dates book fast for family photographers in Topeka. Sessions work best when scheduled early in the morning or later in the day around sunrise or sunset.
Think about your space. If you want the images displayed in your office, consider colors and tones that match your brand or office aesthetic.
Make it personal. Include a handwritten note or message with the gift, something simple like, “Thank you for all you do for our team. Enjoy this gift with your family.”
