Family Photography That Feels Natural, Joyful & Effortless

From sweet snuggles to spontaneous giggles— we focus on capturing the real moments — the ones that make your family uniquely you. Our Spring Mini Sessions are designed to be short and sweet, but full of genuine connection and beautiful light.

Thoughtfully Crafted for Busy Families We know life moves fast — that’s why we’ve done the planning for you. With pre-selected scenic locations, a smooth booking process, and gentle guidance throughout your session, all you need to do is show up and enjoy making memories together.

Timeless, Honest Imagery With a natural editing style and an eye for storytelling, we focus on soft light, candid emotion, and joyful connection. Your gallery will be filled with meaningful images that feel real, not staged — photos you’ll want to frame and revisit for years to come.

Beautiful, Family-Friendly Locations Each Spring Mini Session takes place at a handpicked outdoor spot that showcases California’s seasonal beauty — think wildflowers, soft green backdrops, and golden sunshine. We’ve scouted the locations so you don’t have to.

A Fun, Stress-Free Experience We’ll guide you every step of the way — from helping you choose what to wear, to making your little ones feel comfortable in front of the camera. Even in just 15 minutes, we’ll create a relaxed, happy space where your family’s love can shine.

How long is the session and what’s included?

Each Spring Mini Session is 15 minutes long and includes 5 high-resolution, professionally edited images delivered via a private online gallery. You’ll have the option to purchase the full gallery after delivery.

To keep things simple and seamless, Spring Minis take place at a pre-selected outdoor location chosen for its seasonal beauty and great light. The exact location details and directions will be sent 1-week prior to your session date.

Due to the back-to-back nature of mini sessions, late arrivals may result in less shooting time. Sessions are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled, but you’re welcome to transfer your time slot to a friend or family member — just let us know in advance.

Mini sessions are designed for immediate family only (up to 10 people). If you’d like to include extended family, consider our regular family session for a better experience, or you can book back-to-back time slots.

Check out our regular Family packages.

Soft, neutral tones or light spring colors (like pastels, creams, or sage) photograph beautifully with the seasonal backdrop. Avoid bold patterns or logos, and coordinate outfits without matching exactly. We’re happy to offer wardrobe tips if needed!

Treasure Every Moment

Every giggle, every snuggle, every springtime smile — beautifully captured in just 15 minutes.
