All the Details

upcoming events

Mini session events are a great opportunity to get pictures of the whole family together & pictures of just the kid(s). All you could need for an awesome Christmas card, as well as prints and photo gifts for the relatives. Now, more than ever before, it seems to me that it's time to celebrate your family and cherish your loved ones!

The 2025 Fall Family Mini Session is $225 + tax, and you get an online gallery of at least 15-35 fully retouched images to view from the session. Ten (10) high-resolution images are included with your session fee, available for download, and with full print release included. Additional single images, or your entire gallery may be purchased as well.

How easy is that? Super easy. 

Sign up for the on-location outdoor family mini session events happening October 10th - 14th and November 13th - 16th. Each 20-30 minute session is at a unique location in Tucson & surrounding areas. For those of you returning from years past, try out a new location!!

Downtown, El Presidio

This location is so popular, that I am making sure to have two mini session dates available this year. So, the first location of this year's November visit, I will head back to the old barrio, and photograph any additional families who want some of that "old Tucson" charm.

Broadway Trailhead

Well known throughout Tucson, for its beautiful mountain views, and lush natural desert foliage Saguaro National Park - East offers beauty not found elsewhere in the area. Though we access the park through a side entrance off Broadway Road, this popular location can require either a day use or annual fee to visit. There is some short walking involved when visiting this location, but sandals are okay as we will stay on or near well-groomed trails.

Secret Northeast Desert

This is my "secret" desert location due to the very few visitors it seems to receive, and truly it has everything characteristic of our lush desert landscape; Saguaro, Mesquite, Cholla & Prickly Pear, plus beautiful views of the Catalina Mountains.  This location is a natural desert area on the outskirts of NE Tucson, truly a hidden gem.

Catalina State Park

This is one of my newer mini session locations! Catalina State Park features a dry riverbed, grasses, desert foliage, and breathtaking  up-close views of Pusch Ridge.  With easy dirt trail access from the parking lot, this location is a 10/10.

As a state park, there is a small day use fee so please be prepared. This fee helps to keep our beautiful state parks clean & accessible.

Honeybee Canyon

The next location is truly a crowd favorite! Honeybee Canyon is a hidden gem in Oro Valley, featuring an old stone dam & beautiful rock canyon. This is a great location for those on the northwest side of town, who are up for a short sandy hike through the desert. If you choose to book this location, please wear sturdy shoes & know how to find the dam, because that is where we will be meeting.
