These heartfelt mini sessions are designed to freeze time in the most effortless way, perfect for holiday cards, updated family portraits, or simply preserving the magic of this season together. With 8 dreamy locations to choose from — from sunlit hillsides to tree-lined trails — each setting offers the perfect backdrop for your story. Sessions are 20 minutes long, include all images from your session, lovingly edited, and a whole lot of warmth.
Some of the locations are easier to access then others so if you have any accommodations or limitations, please let me know ! Each gallery typically includes around 20-40 images.
HOW TO CHOOSE A LOCATION
One of the first and most important things to consider is the time that is best for your family. When are your kids happiest/when do you feel your best? If it's early morning, ask me for a sunrise session or if your kids are best in the afternoon, an early sunset session may be the best option for you.

CORONA DEL MAR
BEACH LOCATIONS
There's a few different beaches in Newport that I absolutely love and are the most popular among my clients. Corona Del Mar has lots of rock formations and is located in a small cove surrounded by cliffs.
This location is not pet friendly. Although this has a sloping hilI, I would say it is also not very easily accessible because the hill is steep and not appropriate for a wheelchair.
Huntington Beach Pier is picturesque and so beautiful! We will be under the pier near the water. Expect beautiful light and lots of fun.
This location is not pet friendly and is not wheelchair accessible.
