BOOKING NOW! 2017 FALL & HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS!

They’re HERE!  I am finally ready to announce my most anticipated sessions of the year.  My Fall & Holiday mini sessions often sell out quickly, so this year I’ve opened up more dates, including weekends because I adore my new and repeat clients who wait all year for this. These shorter sessions are perfect for busy families who are ready to update their family portraits or create stunning 2017 Holiday Cards. Holiday Family Mini Sessions will be held here in beautiful East Bay, South Bay and  San Francisco, we have so much to choose from that there is surely something that fits your family style, urban, woods, garden, fall leaves, etc!  I have also added new locations this year for my repeating clients! (THANK YOU for being such amazing clients for many years!)  Check out my location guide and just pick your location and time from the calendar below! Holiday Mini sessions will be focused on photojournalistic ‘lifestyle’ portraits: portraits of your family interacting, candids, and kids playing in the leaves and some formal poses! It is very important to me that clients have a printed memory on their wall to enjoy and cherish for many years, therefore, my holiday mini package includes professional prints!  Professional prints make a great gift for grandparents and family members as well! 2017 Fall Holiday Mini Session – only $175 Welcome Email with wardrobe advice and session preparation 25 Minute Outdoor Session in natural light up to 5 immediate family members Private…
