Discover the Magic of Oakland Family Mini Photography Sessions in a Redwood Grove


When you think of Oakland, you might picture the vibrant streets, bustling markets, and rich cultural scenes, but tucked away from the city’s hustle and bustle is my absolute favorite location for family mini photography sessions—an enchanting redwood grove. Nestled minutes from the urban center, this peaceful haven is where I love to capture those priceless family moments.


Surrounded by the towering redwoods, it feels like stepping into another world. The beauty of these ancient giants creates a natural, timeless backdrop that perfectly highlights your family’s unique connection. It’s a space that makes you feel deeply connected with the earth, yet it's just a stone’s throw from Oakland’s busy streets. The tranquility of this spot makes it the ideal setting for intimate family portraits that are not only visually stunning but also filled with emotion.


Whether you're an Oakland local or just discovering the hidden gems of the city, this redwood grove is the perfect location for your next family mini session. I love working with families in this serene space, capturing everything from playful laughter to tender moments. It's my goal to ensure you walk away with beautiful memories and photos you'll treasure forever.
