WELCOME

You've found my once-a-year outdoor Fall + Winter Mini Sessions, running through October, November & December 2026.

If you've been thinking about getting photos this year, now's your chance to grab your spot.

Unlike traditional minis, I don't book back-to-back time slots at one single location on one set date. I intentionally keep things flexible so I can work with families, couples, and friends at the location that means the most to them.

✨ Short and sweet sessions — just enough time to capture multiple beautiful shots with your loved ones
✨ Best value of the year (my normal rates start at $700+)
✨ Limited spots — they sell out quickly!

Southern California falls are pretty mild, but if weather does become an issue on your date, I'll reach out to reschedule for the next available spot — no stress, no extra fee.
