There’s something about fall that feels like a deep breath after a long summer, the golden light, the crisp air, the way the trees quietly shift into their cozy hues. I still remember stumbling upon this tucked-away spot in Santee, just east of San Diego. The autumn colors were so beautiful that I couldn’t help but pause and take it all in. I knew right then it would be the perfect backdrop for photographing families in this season.



Last year, I had the joy of photographing several sweet families here, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Honest. Beautiful. Full of joy and connection.

As we get ready to welcome this year’s busy season, I’m so excited to return to this special place. I’ll be offering limited mini session spots at this location, and they tend to go quickly. If this speaks to you and you’d love early access, I’d love for you to join my newsletter list.
