FALL MINI SESSIONS // 2026

20 MINUTES + 20 DIGITALS // $495 with tax

Fall is just around the corner, my favorite time for outdoor photos with my beloved families. This year I’m going with my tried-and-true locations around the city, that will look great whether it’s cloudy or sunny. We’ll run around a field, beach or park, stop for smiling/posed photos, and get lots of candids in between!

DETAILS

Sessions are 20 minutes long, and include a digital gallery from which you can choose 20 of your favorite digital files. You can also order prints, frames, cards and more directly from your gallery, or download them and order from your own provider. All galleries will be delivered within 21 days of your session. Your session can serve any purpose you'd like, whether it be family, solo shots, you and your partner, pet, or extended family.

THIS YEARS LOCATIONS & EXAMPLE PICS

DISCOVERY PARK FIELDS

Expansive fields of tall, dried grass, and open sky. I love Discovery because it’s so flattering for skin tones, too. This is always a timeless classic, and perfect for kids of any age - babies can sit on a blanket or in the grass, toddlers can walk down trails, and older kids can run through the tall grass. Discovery Park lends itself well to late summer or fall wardrobe colors, it’s truly beautiful at every season.

WASHINGTON PARK ARBORETUM

The arboretum never disappoints! I have a great spot surrounded by trees that should be changing color by the date of your session. This location is great if you’re wanting a classic PNW woodsy look, surrounded by trees and leaves on the ground, but with plenty of natural light so they don’t look too dark and green.

VOLUNTEER PARK

I hosted spring minis here this year and loved it. This year, I’m going to try fall minis here too! I pulled some photos that I’ve taken here in the fall - this location feels like a mix of nature with a modern/contemporary edge. I think the conservatory will make for a really beautiful or dramatic, interesting backdrop and texture to your images. And the lawn is perfect for kids to run around. There are also other spots across the street for more greenery too.

LOWMAN BEACH

Lowman Beach is a super cute, very accessible beach just north of Lincoln Park. This beach is perfect for kids because there’s not walking at all. My example photos are all from the summer, but I would LOVE a cloudy, cooler day for this location too. I think it would be perfect for snuggly fall photos sitting on the logs. And the trees in the background all turn beautiful fall colors by mid October.

OCCIDENTAL PARK

Thinking cozy fall Sunday morning in the city. Maybe get coffee/hot chocolate at Umbria?

Pioneer Square is my favorite neighborhood to shoot in the city! This location will be great for families who want photos with more of a city vibe, while still looking very classic. The date is mid-October, so hopefully it will be a cozy fall morning and you can wear warmer clothes and bop around together. The leaves should be turning or even falling by the time of our shoot, and we’ll wander around and just play with the old timeless architecture together.

LINCOLN PARK GROVE

I love this little grove inside Lincoln Park, where the leaves are always changing and super close to eye level. There are leaves to toss, logs to sit on, and lots of room to run around. This is one of my favs year after year!
