Fall Mini Sessions Are Here! 2025 Bay Area Locations + What You Need to Know

It’s that time again — cozy sweaters, golden light, and fall mini sessions that capture your favorite people in this fleeting season. Whether you’re planning ahead for holiday cards or just want to freeze time for a moment, I’ve created something special for you this fall.

This year, I’m offering fall mini sessions at four beautiful Bay Area locations — each with its own vibe — so you can choose what feels most like you. Whether you’re drawn to woodsy trails, downtown charm, or iconic SF views, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you.

FALL MINI SESSIONS: FOR THE QUICK + COZY UPDATE

Perfect if you’re just looking to:
– Update those family portraits
– Get your holiday card photo handled early for once
– Sneak in a quick session with your little crew

These are shot back-to-back at select locations and offered on limited dates only.

They’re designed to be a little less than a full session, but more than your typical mini. Just enough time to get natural, relaxed shots — no rush, no stiff poses.

You’ll get:
✔️ 30 minutes of relaxed shooting
✔️ 20+ beautifully retouched high-res images
✔️ Full gallery included — no upgrade fees this year! Because your memories deserve the whole story.

2025 Fall Mini Session Locations

1. Sutro Baths (San Francisco)

Vibe: Mystical, natural, coastal
We’ll focus mainly in the wooded areas just above Sutro Baths, where moody trees and golden light create an ethereal forest vibe. If you happen to snag one of the last two session slots, you’ll also get a chance to shoot in the open fields overlooking the ocean — a stunning mix of earthy greens and Pacific blues that’s honestly breathtaking.

2. Downtown Palo Alto

Vibe: Urban, fun, versatile
Whether you want to wander cute alleyways, capture some architectural charm, or sip coffee while we shoot, this spot gives us room to play. We’ll work with your vision — chic, casual, or somewhere in between.

3. Lovers Lane in the Presidio (San Francisco)

Vibe: Woodsy, laid-back, natural light dream
This forest trail tucked into the heart of the Presidio is a fall favorite. Think filtered light, tall trees, and cozy textures — the perfect escape without leaving the city.

4. Pier 14 / Ferry Building (San Francisco)

Vibe: City-chic, iconic, full of SF charm
Love the energy of downtown SF? This location includes strolls on the Embarcadero, waterfront views, and a stunning skyline in the background.

5. Palace of Fine Arts (San Francisco)

Vibe: Classic, elegant, timeless
We’ll shoot near the grand dome, open grassy areas (perfect for little ones to run around), and the beautiful architecture that surrounds the Palace. While we won’t go deep inside due to time constraints, the outskirts offer plenty of magic.

FULL SESSIONS: FOR THE MAGIC OF RIGHT NOW

If you’re craving something more slow-paced, meaningful, and deeply personal — a full session might be a better fit.

These are an intentional experience designed to capture your family in this exact season — the real, the raw, and the in-between. We take our time to slow down and create images that reflect your unique connection.
