Upon popular request, I have compiled a list of dates for my fall mini sessions!! This is a schedule that will be in effect for the remainder of the year. My fall dates always book very quickly, so don't wait to schedule yours! I may add more dates as needed for high volume weeks when fall color peaks. It is usually best the last week of September and into the first two weeks of October, but every year it's a little different! The late October dates are in the valley areas where fall color hangs around a little longer. Into November and December, we will be shooting up the canyons in the pine trees, and will hopefully get some snow too!

My family mini session rate is $275 plus tax, which includes 15 digital images of your choice. Extra images may always be added on later, at $5 per image. The mini sessions are 30-40 minutes long, which is the perfect amount of time to get those candid and posed photos, as well as individuals, kids together, etc! If you would like a custom date and a little extra session time, I can book you as a full session, which is $375 plus tax and includes 25 digital images of your choice. These dates will be very limited, however, as fall season is so busy for me that I prefer to schedule most of my clients back to back! The times are mostly accurate to what I know from past years, but I will verify timing as I scout out the locations again, shortly before each scheduled session.

Many of you know that we are hoping to adopt! We decided to use photography as our main means of raising funds. Adoption is very costly, and we hope to come as close as we can to reaching this goal, by working hard this fall at photography. If you have ever been considering a session with me, it is so appreciated now more than ever before!! There are tons of amazing family session options and locations to choose from. And the best part is that in return for your contribution to our adoption efforts, you will receive some gorgeous photos to cherish for years to come!!

Now... on to the schedule!!
