FAQ about Minis

Coronado - Saturday September 6th

Book your Coronado mini Session

Coronado is a dreamy spot with golden dunes, sunlit rocks, and ocean views you’ll never forget -

The best part? Tons of space to play!

Presidio- Saturday October 18th

Book your Presidio mini Session

Presidio Park shines with soft, glowing light that flatters every skin tone. The Junipero Serra Museum is a stunning backdrop, and its steps are perfect for kids to sit and cuddle with parents beneath sunset-lit trees.

Scripps Pier- Sunday October 19th

Book your Scripps Pier mini Session
Scripps pier photo shoot

With the iconic pier stretching into the ocean, this location offers a dramatic, picture-perfect backdrop and glowing sunset light for dreamy coastal portraits.

Balboa Arches- Saturday October 25th

Book your Balboa Arches mini Session

The arches are one of my favorite backdrops—timeless, elegant, and full of dreamy light. The Botanical Garden nearby adds a second, iconic look.

Studio- Sunday October 26th

Book your Studio mini Session

An editorial family photoshoot. Carefully styled, posed, and filled with genuine moments. Timeless elegance meets modern edge with soft light and clean backgrounds. Sample photos coming by 08/15—stay tuned!

Alpine- Sunday November 2nd

Book your Alpine mini Session

I know Alpine is a bit of a drive, but trust me—it's pure magic! With golden shrubs and fall leaves, it feels like a Hallmark movie set. You really can’t go wrong with this spot!
