Fall Mini Sessions in the San Francisco Bay Area – 2025 Availability

Fall is almost here, and I couldn’t be more excited! 🍂 Every year, I look forward to photographing families in the beautiful colors and golden light that autumn in the Bay Area brings. If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos—or are looking for the perfect time to capture memories before the busy holiday season—my 2025 Fall mini sessions are officially open for booking!

2025 Fall Mini Session Dates

This year’s Bay Area minis will be held on the following dates:

Saturday, September 20
Sunday, September 21
Saturday, November 15

Mini sessions are the perfect option for families who want a shorter session while still getting a collection of professional images in gorgeous seasonal settings.

Featured Locations: Filoli & Stanford Cactus Garden

In 2025, I’ll be hosting sessions at Filoli and the Stanford Cactus Garden, two of the most requested Bay Area photo spots for families:

Filoli – Known for its manicured gardens, blooming seasonal plants, and stunning historic estate backdrops, Filoli is an incredible location for timeless family portraits.
Stanford Cactus Garden – A unique and dreamy setting with cactus, succulents, and warm golden tones. This garden offers a distinctive look that families love, especially for fall.

Last year, I photographed families in San Mateo and at Filoli, and I’m thrilled to return this year while also adding Stanford Cactus Garden for those seeking something new.

Want a Different Location?

If you’ve already done sessions at San Mateo or Stanford in the past two years, I recommend booking a full family session instead of a mini. Full sessions allow you to:

Select your favorite Bay Area location
Enjoy more time in front of the camera (and less rushing!)
Get a larger gallery of images to choose from
