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…

Family Session with a dog : Vasona Park, South Bay, San Francisco Family Photographer

This is my third year shooting at this beautiful park, Vasona Park in Los Gatos and it's such a perfect location for family photo sessions!  it started as super foggy day. I had never shot in fog like that before and I was little nervous how photos would turn out but I LOVE the finished results!  I think fog provides soft beautiful look in background!  The couple brought their dog to include in their holiday photos and it was lot of fun!!!   Some formal and lots of candidate sots of them playing.   So cute!   My photo studio is located in downtown Walnut Creek! Perfect for business headshot, personal branding, baby and family portraits.Email photo@aikacardin.com for inquiry!

I met N family last year for their Holiday Family Session at Palace of Fine Arts and I was so excited to photograph them again this year at Baker Beach and Lover's Lane!  Baker Beach is one of my absolutely favorite location to photograph in San Francisco and the day we photographed, we had a heat wave in San Francisco and it was high 80 degrees at beach, I was so happy with nice beautiful weather but the beach was PACKED with people enjoying the beautiful day...!  We started at Lover's lane then headed to the beach, took us a long time to find a parking spots but, we were there in time for  a gorgeous sunset and kids were running around, having a blast at the beach! Can you tell we were having so much fun???  I can't wait for N family to display these beautiful portraits in their house!  I create the memories that last forever.
