New dates added! 2014 Holiday Mini Session BOOKING NOW !!!

Walnut Creek, San Ramon, East Bay San Francisco Holiday Family Photographer

They’re HERE!  I am finally ready to announce my most anticipated sessions of the year.  My Holiday sessions often sell out quickly, so this year I’ve opened up more dates, including weekends because I adore my new and repeat clients who wait all year for this. These shorter sessions are perfect for busy families who are ready to update their family portraits or create stunning 2014 Holiday Cards.  Celebrate the beauty of the season with the convenience of my mini sessions!  I’ve even simplified ordering with online galleries because I know that the Holidays are just as crazy for you as they are for me!  Holiday Family Mini Sessions will be held in Lafayette, Concord, Walnut Creek here in beautiful East Bay, San Francisco! Just pick your location and time! Holiday Mini sessions will be focused on photojournalistic ‘lifestyle’ portraits: portraits of your family interacting, candids, and kids playing in the leaves and some formal poses for Holiday Cards !
