Sonoma County Mini Sessions
Fall 2021
Mini sessions are a great opportunity for you to get photos captured with the people you love but haven’t had the time to get handled.
You can use these mini sessions however you want:
To capture your family all in one place with a photographer who's been photographing families for over 6 years.
To get some updated images of just you for social media
To have some images taken with you and whomever you choose—bestie, sibling, parent, partner, pet…you get the idea.*
*While I’m up for customizing the focus of these mini sessions for you, given the short amount of time we will have together I ask that you choose one session type.
I only offer mini sessions once or twice a year, so grab a time if you’re interested.

Ragle Ranch Peace Garden
If you live in Sonoma County, you probably know Ragle Ranch like the back of your hand. I scoped out the Peace Garden and surrounding area as a great spot for these mini sessions. There are big logs to climb on, pretty trees, and lots of special places to sit and cuddle up.
The sun sets behind the hills in the background making the afternoon light here super special. Its beauty and ease of access make it a great spot for making photos together.

Doran Beach
For the adventurous, you can choose to have your mini session out at Doran beach. Since the weather can be a wild card on the coast, please bring layers. If you opt for the ocean, at these sessions you’ll be parking in Bodega Harbor near the Bluewater Bistro.
My favorite spot is the Southern end of Doran beach because there are fewer people and there’s usually lots of fun driftwood for the kids to play on--making a great opportunity for the type of action shots I love to capture. It’s a 5-10 minute walk down a beautiful path from the parking lot to the beach where we will meet.

Up to 5 of your immediate family members and your furry friends and welcome. Additional family members can be added in for $25/per extra person.

Your gallery will also be directly connected to a high-quality print shop where you can easily order holiday cards, prints, and other printed goods.
Galleries will be online for 30 days.
Sessions will be first come first served and the session fee of $275 secures your time.
The Fine Print
I am fully vaccinated and have a covid policy that I will ask for you to sign. While this does not require you to be vaccinated, it does have some guidelines and a protocol we both commit to. I will take a PCR test the Wednesday before the sessions and a rapid test the day of. I will be wearing a mask since I will be working with multiple families in quick succession.
With mini sessions, time is of the essence. Please do your best to be on time. While I build in a small buffer, if you are running late it will eat into your session time. I recommend showing up 15 minutes early so that you can relax and hang out a bit before your session begins.
Refunds
If more than a 7-day notice is provided, the session fee is fully refundable.
If less than a 7-day notice is given, 50% of the session fee will be refunded, or you can apply the complete session fee to a future session within the year.
If less than 24 hrs notice is given, no refund or credit will be provided.
In the event of rain, we will reschedule for another day. If the rescheduled time does not work for you, a full refund will be given.
My philosophy
I believe there’s beauty in your everyday moments.
My approach is relaxed and rooted in connection and play. My job is to see you and the light and to bring those things together to make images you want up on your walls.
Photography comes in many different forms, and hiring your photographer is a personal decision. If my work and words resonate, we’d probably enjoy working together.
