It’s that time of year again… I know that it still feels like summer and the weather is so warm but I am now releasing to everyone my fall Petite sessions. I offer these sessions a few times of year and the fall ones are always a hot commodity. They’re such a great opportunity to get a few great family photos, whether you use them to update frames around your house or you’re planning on sending out Christmas cards. This year I’m only offering two dates for Petite sessions, so hop on it. Read more about these sessions to see if you’d want to hire me as your Bay Area fall mini session family photographer.
If it’s been a while since you’ve gotten some family photos, fall is the perfect time it took some. And even if you just did photos recently, if you have little ones you know how quickly they change and grow. So they probably look different than they even did a few months ago. My schedule is definitely filling up fast, of if you want to snag a petite session or a full session, it’s definitely better to inquire sooner rather than later.
If you’re wanting a little bit more than what’s offered for those sessions, I am still booking full sessions for this fall. If you want to know more about those, feel free to contact me on my contact page here and I would love to send you more info over.
I seriously cannot wait to see all the beautiful families in front of my camera this fall. From the families that I’ve gotten to watch grow and change over the years, to the new ones that I get to meet for the first time this year. It never loses its beauty to be able to capture you guys just as you are. This really is the best job ever.
A few things to note about petite sessions:
Start and end times are fairly strict due to these being scheduled back-to-back
Session locations are set but not official until a few weeks before the session- Vanessa may change the session location depending on weather, scenery changes, etc.
Sessions focus on photos of the family as a whole, although a few different combinations may be included as well
Petite sessions are for a single household only, for extended family sessions, please contact me!
If you desire a longer session, more images, or the ability to decide where your session will be held- then a full session is perfect for you! Feel free to contact me for more information on those here!

This sweet little family wanted some outdoor images for the holiday season. They were thrilled about the results and this session provides a perfect example of how wardrobe makes all the difference when you want clean timeless family portraits.
Shooting this session by the marina provided the perfect location for this super fun loving family. They had a blast exploring the area and admiring the lake they frequent so often during the summer.

"We had the best experience with Vanessa and our photos came out really good. She also was so good with our son who was also instantly smitten with Vanessa. Vanessa was also very responsive, recommended good locations and we got our photos on time. I would highly recommend Vanessa."

A: I’ve been photographing families for 8 years now, capturing everything from newborn snuggles to wild toddler giggles and heartfelt generational moments. It’s been such a joy getting to see families grow and preserve those memories through beautiful imagery.
A: Yes, when you reserve your date, I'll send you a guide with my favorite locations listed.
A: I always strive to send out proofs within a week, once those are selected - final processing and editing takes 2-3 weeks depending on the season.
