Fall Bay Area Mini Sessions - Oct 9-11th
I’m coming back for ONLY 3 days in October! Events will be at client favorites, and a NEW spot! I will be opening just a couple full session times during the week, and mini events will be on the weekends. These super convenient and fast sessions are only 25 minutes long. STARTING 2025 I am including ALL high-resolution images and web-size downloads in your package! Yay!
You come prepared with fun in mind, and Alex will come prepared with efficiency and direction to get you the best and most images possible. Can’t wait to see you!

Redwood Grove - Los Altos

This location is a family favorite! It contains a beautiful Redwood tree grove with an easy-to-walk boardwalk and some off-trail spots for more creativity and fun! This spot has beautiful lighting, even in the middle of the day, making it perfect for fitting in sleep/nap schedules for littles.

Russian Ridge, Redwood City
October 11th, 2025
$499
This location is AMAZING. It contains a beautiful sweeping view of the rolling hills that are so iconic to the Bay Area. Earlier bookings will have a brighter vibe (unless it’s super overcast), and later bookings will have a more golden hour vibe. I’m super in love with both!

Eucalyptus Tree Grove + Lyon Street Steps- San Francisco
Sunday, October 12th 2025
$499
This location is a bit less used than others in San Francisco but, in my opinion, is one of the best. LESS CROWDS. During the fall, the sunset shines through the eucalyptus trees vibrantly, or there is a moody overcast vibe, both of which I love! As a bonus, you can finish your session with some photos overlooking the bay from a very high vantage point!
25 minutes - 30 minimum high-res downloads
Dog Friendly
Street Parking (easier than other spots)
Requires a small amount of uphill walking
