2025 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 2025 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 many options to choose from that there is surely something that suits 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 scheduled in November, and they are mostly held on weekdays (when local schools have shorter schedules and Wednesdays) to avoid large crowds 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!   2025 Fall Holiday Mini Session – only $250 Welcome Email with wardrobe advice and session preparation…

2025 AERIAL SILKS Picture Day

I’m thrilled to partner with Delta Athletics to offer a special “Picture Day” for Aerial Silks students! Last year, my daughter, Erika, joined Silks with her friends, and she’s been loving it ever since. I’ve had the joy of watching her perform at recitals, but capturing those beautiful moments on camera has always been a challenge. The fast-paced nature of Silks made it difficult to capture those perfect, graceful poses. That’s why I’m so excited to announce “Picture Day” for Silks students, where we’ll professionally capture their passion and skill for Aerial Silks. Meg will be on-site to make sure every pose is picture-perfect! “Picture Day” will be on Saturday, May 24th, from 4 pm-6 pm at Silks Studio. Each student will have a 10-minute time slot, and Meg and I will work hard to create as many beautiful poses as we can during that time. We look forward to seeing you on Picture Day! Date: Saturday, May 24th - 4pm - 6pm Location: SILKS Studio 2956 Treat Blvd,  Suite H. Concord, CA 94518   What to wear: Your favorite Silks costume! Choose jewel-like / rich colors like red, purple, pink, green, blue, and black. These colors will pop in photos. Avoid white or pastel colors.

2024 Winter Lyra Picture Day ~ Beloved Little Circus

I'm so excited to partner with Beloved Little Circus to offer a "Picture Day"! My daughter, Erika, joined Lyra with her friends two years ago, and she has been in love with Lyra since then! I have seen her perform at recitals multiple times at Lyra Studio. Still, I always had difficulty taking pictures of her due to the venue's poor lighting. It was difficult to capture the perfect Lyra poses as she performed on the hoop so fast! Therefore, I'm delighted to announce "Picture Day" for Be Loved Little Circus students, where we can professionally and perfectly capture their love for Lyra. Sarah will be on-site to ensure every Lyra pose is picture-perfect! Picture Day will be held on Sunday, November 10th, from 4 pm to 6 pm at Lyra Studio! Each student will have a 10-minute time slot. Sarah and I will create as many beautiful Lyra poses as we can! We look forward to seeing you on Picture Day!   Date: November 10th, Sunday:  4 pm ~ 6 pm   Location: Lyra Studio 2956 Treat Blvd,  Suite H.
