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…
