Some sessions just have that effortless, cool factor, and this mother-son shoot in Folsom was exactly that. I’ve been photographing these two since the mom was pregnant, so getting to document their bond over the years has been incredibly special. With their California-chill style, creative energy, and willingness to try unique and fun photography poses, we captured some truly iconic shots.

Shot during golden hour, the soft, glowing light and tall grass made for the perfect backdrop. The warm tones wrapped around them beautifully, giving the session a dreamy, cinematic feel. It’s amazing how much we can capture in a short session, especially when my clients are open to movement, action shots, and a little creativity! Mini sessions are fast-paced, fun, and perfect for capturing a mix of candid and artistic shots. Because I only offer them to repeat clients, they also feel extra special—like picking up right where we left off. These sessions allow us to quickly dive into what works best, whether that’s playful interactions, striking poses, or a mix of both. It’s all about making the most of the time while keeping the energy high and the experience stress-free.Whether you’re looking for a full family session, a creative portrait session, or a meaningful moment captured with a loved one, I’d love to work with you! I focus on a relaxed approach to create timeless, authentic images that you’ll treasure for years to come. Reach out to book your session—I can’t wait to capture something special for you!
