There’s something magical about Fall in the East Bay. The golden hills, cozy evenings, colorful leaves, and crisp air set the stage for the most stunning family memories. It’s no wonder Fall is the most popular time for photos—it’s a season of warmth, change, and connection. Children seem to grow and change as quickly as the seasons, making this the perfect time to pause and preserve the love, laughter, and joy that define your family right now.

Every year, I offer Fall photo sessions across Concord, CA and the East Bay that highlight the best of the season. From wide-open golden fields to towering redwoods and tree-lined parks with leaves that glow in the afternoon light, I’ve carefully chosen locations that become the perfect backdrop for your family’s story.

Minis & Full Sessions


Whether you prefer the ease of a mini session or the depth of a full session, I’ve designed options to fit your family. My Fall Mini Sessions are quick and fun—shorter in length and back-to-back with other families, yet still filled with the joy and golden light you’ll want to remember. For those who’d like more time, a full Family, Extended Family or Maternity Session offers space for kids to warm up, explore, and truly shine. You’ll enjoy more variety in your gallery and receive 35+ beautifully edited images, along with Client Closet access.

Making it Easy for You


I know that preparing for photos can feel overwhelming—but I’ve got you covered. Every session includes my Welcome Guide, full of tips to help you feel prepared and at ease. I’ll guide you with my Style Guide and online styling tool, and if you’re booking a full session, you’ll have access to my Client Closet, featuring timeless gowns and dresses that photograph beautifully. During your session, I’ll gently guide you into natural poses so your love and connection feel effortless. The result? A cozy, joy-filled gallery that feels like you.

Fall Magic, Captured


There’s nothing quite like golden hour in the fall. The light is softer, richer, and wraps your family in a glow that feels like pure magic. Pair that with genuine laughter, quiet snuggles, or kids running freely through a field, and you’ll have photographs that freeze these fleeting moments in the most beautiful way.
