We have a secret spot where we hold mini sessions. It has beautiful foliage that offers rich color and texture. The light diffuses beautifully here at golden hour and it’s NEVER crowded. Parking is easy and it’s a short 1-2 minute walk down a path to get to a perfect spot. This spot is very close to home in San Elijo Hills and because of the proximity to where we live we offer mini sessions year round here. San Elijo Hills family mini sessions are located in the Southwest corner of San Marcos, CA adjacent to Carlsbad, CA. It’s one of the North County San Diego’s greatest gems and we are proud to call it home.
The light here is absolutely dreamy, especially in the golden hour. There’s a peaceful openness to it that lets kids run freely while still giving us those cozy, connected moments that make for the most heartfelt family photos.
These mini sessions are perfect for:
- Families looking to update their yearly portraits
- Milestone moments (birthdays, anniversaries, growing kiddos!)
- Holiday card photos with a touch of warmth and personality
- Quick, low-stress sessions that still feel intentional
We keep these sessions short and sweet, but we focus every second on capturing a mix of candid connection and lightly posed images that reflect your family’s true dynamic.
And since we’re often asked—yes, dogs are totally welcome!
