There are so much beauty outside anywhere you go, specifically in Santa Monica areas. Every Fall, I like to seek out new and safe places for our Holiday Mini sessions, so our families can take a little family activity to enjoy a visit in the area, while they get their family portraits taken for the Holiday cards.<\/p><h2><strong>What is holiday mini sessions?<\/strong><\/h2><p>It is really a small event of photoshoot family portrait photographers like to organize and put on during the months leading up to the Christmas\/ Holiday season for all kinds of families size to join and get some nice portrait pictures taken in a short session time, usually around 15-20 mins long. Location and time slots are usually pre-selected for you, so you can focus on getting you and your family members ready and simply show up to have a good time!<\/p><p><!-- notionvc: 3dd68299-9588-4676-9847-b7316f9f169e --><\/p><p>The Palisades Park in Santa Monica had become one of my favorite location to shoot these Mini Sessions. It is a public park with tree line of palm trees that\u2019s off the cliffs by Pacific Coast Highway, parallel to Santa Monica Beach. People love coming to this park to jog, walk on the trail that\u2019s overlooking the ocean, admire the rose garden with sculpture, picnic on the benches, or simply enjoy the scenery on the grassy fields.<\/p><h2><strong>Features<\/strong><\/h2><p>\ud83d\ude97\u00a0Nearby metered parking and paid parking structure<br \/>\u26d1\ufe0f\u00a0Relatively safe since it is a park. However, it is next to the streets with cars.
