Folsom minis will take place at an open field setting. A map pin will be sent closer to the session date once I confirm that no goats have recently mowed down my preferred location; if they have, we'll use a similar nearby location. San Francisco minis will take place at Baker Beach, pictured above (which has easy parking and access).


We'll shoot a mix of classic, frame-worthy portraits and playful, relaxed candids. For families, we'll get shots of everyone together, as well as each kiddo individually, parents together, etc. (You'd be surprised just how much we can fit into 20 minutes of shooting.)


Kids will be kids! It would actually be a little ridiculous of us to assume that they'll be in their best mood during the 20-minute window when we're scheduled to shoot. We'll go with their flow, whether that's happy playing or grumpy cuddling. I've photographed many hundreds of kids through the years and raised three of my own—big feelings don't scare me!


Given the shorter format of minis, I recommend including no more than 6 people. These sessions are not ideal for generational family sessions; reach out about a full session instead.


You'll receive your online gallery within one week of your session. (Two weeks for full-film sessions.)


After shooting, I'll send your film off to the lab for development. Once developed, you'll receive 1) an online gallery of digital film scans and 2) a set of heirloom prints in the mail. All photos on this page are film.


I am leaving 4/6 and 4/20 open as official back up dates. If it rains on the back up dates, I will reschedule as needed. If you can't make the official reschedule date, you can apply your session fee towards any future session.


Your deposit is non-refundable but you can apply it towards a future session: either a rescheduled mini within one month or a full session within one year. Reschedules are subject to my availability.


Your second (and final) payment is due two weeks prior to the session.
