Each year, there is a lot of excitement surrounding our Fall Holiday Mini-Sessions here in Sacramento! We have several beautiful and easy-to-access locations to choose from. Here are a few samples to give you an idea of what each spot looks like:
OLD SACRAMENTO: Brick, wood and historic buildings. Great for kids to run around and a fun place to grab some ice cream after the session.

EL DORADO HILLS (park setting): If you love oak trees, this is a perfect spot for you. The texture of the leaves and bark compliments fall outfits perfectly. Conveniently located in the Serrano area.

EL DORADO HILLS (Pond): A charming little spot tucked away within a residential neighborhood. Backgrounds will include a willow tree, a little pond and lots of green grass.

FAIR OAKS: I’m a big fan of golden grass and this location has no lack of it. The light is beautiful in the morning hours and the oaks trees frame family portraits perfectly.
