2024 Fall & Holiday Mini Session in San Francisco, East Bay and South Bay!

2024 Fall & Holiday Family Mini Session in San Francisco, East Bay, and South Bay! They’re HERE! I am finally ready to announce my most anticipated sessions of the year. Fall & Holiday Family mini sessions sell out fast, so this year, I’ve opened up more dates and NEW LOCATIONS, as I adore my repeat clients who wait all year for this! These shorter sessions are perfect for busy families ready to update their family portraits and create stunning 2024 Holiday Cards.  Fall & Holiday Family Mini Sessions will be held outdoors in the beautiful Bay Area, East Bay, South Bay, and San Francisco. We have so much to choose from that there is surely something that fits your family style! Please Check out my location guide for sample photos from each location and reserve your session from the calendar below! Most outdoor sessions are scheduled in September & October before the rainy season starts! Only Fall color sessions are in November, and they are mostly scheduled on weekdays (when local schools have short schedules and Wednesdays) to avoid a large crowd on weekends in those fall color locations. It is very important that clients have a printed memory on their wall to enjoy and cherish for many years. Therefore, my fall and holiday mini includes professional prints, which make great gifts for grandparents and family members as well!   2024 Fall Holiday Mini Session – only $250 Welcome Email with wardrobe advice and session preparation 25 Minute Outdoor…
