BOOKING NOW! 2021 Fall & Holiday 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.  My Fall & Holiday Family mini sessions sell out fast, so this year I’ve opened up more dates and NEW LOCATION, as I adore my repeat clients who wait all year for this!  Studio Session style is ” modern + classic + timeless ” if you are looking for something different this year, a studio session is a perfect option for you! These shorter sessions are perfect for busy families who are ready to update their family portraits or create stunning 2021 Holiday Cards. Fall & Holiday Family Mini Sessions will be held at my studio and outdoor locations here 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 of the 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 Fridays) to avoid a large crowd on weekends on those fall color locations. It is very important to me that clients have a printed memory on their wall to enjoy and cherish for many years, therefore, my fall & holiday mini includes professional prints!  Professional prints make a great gift…
