san diego mini sessions

Once or twice a month, I offer limited edition mini sessions. These sessions are short but sweet, and might be holiday specific, or just for the heck of it! I’m currently offering Fall and Winter Minis- the most popular sessions of the year, as well as newly released holiday mini sessions- both at the Christmas Tree Farm and in your own home!

Be sure to subscribe to the newsletter to be among the first to know about new minis; they usually sell out within hours!


Back by popular demand! Join me at the Christmas tree farm in Santee for a festive little photo session among the trees. These 10-minute sessions include 5 digital images of your family, perfect for holiday cards or updating the photos on your walls. Pick your time below and come soak up that Christmas tree smell with me!


Let’s capture a little Christmas at home! These candid 10-15 minute sessions include 5 digital images of your family enjoying a favorite holiday activity, like decorating cookies, building a gingerbread house, or hanging ornaments. When booking, you’ll choose a one-hour arrival window for your quick session. As bookings come in and I plan my route, I’ll narrow down your arrival time. Choose your window below and start dreaming up something fun for your family!

fall and winter mini sessions

Fall & Winter Mini Sessions are officially open for booking! These 10 minute sessions are designed for busy families who want beautiful photos without spending an entire evening taking them. Don't let the short time fool you- with over 16 years of experience as a San Diego family photographer, I've learned how to work quickly, keep things moving, and capture the moments that matter most. My goal is always to create a fun, kid-friendly photography experience that feels easy for everyone involved. Childhood doesn’t wait… if you’ve been putting off taking family photos in San Diego, these mini photoshoots are perfect!

Coronado Ferry Landing

** This location is on a bluff. It’s a marked trail, but not the best for super wiggly or squirmy toddlers/young kids who will want to run around, as it’s pretty high on the cliffs & the trail isn’t super wide. If you have any questions about this, please let me know!

Sessions include:

Approximately 10 minutes of photography

5 digital images

Online viewing gallery (with the option to purchase additional files at a discounted rate)

Print release (so you can print these wherever you’d like and post wherever you’d like too!)

$350
