Hello Blue Bow Friends! Spring arrives early here in San Diego due to our year round sunshine. It must be the fact that it doesn't last more than 8 weeks, but I absolutely love when everything is lush and green!
Let's take advantage of the beautiful scenery in this short window of time and get your family's or child's spring portrait session reserved!

The available dates can be found below each sample photo. Some locations will have the option for mini sessions (15 minutes) while others require a minimum of 30 minutes to capture everything I love about the location. Please email [email protected] with your requested date/time or to join the waitlist for a location that is already sold out. I look forward to seeing many familiar faces this spring, and hopefully several new ones too!
East County Hills- 30 Minutes - $450 -15 Retouched Images
This location will require a little drive, but oh my is it worth it! Tucked into the east county hills is one of my favorite locations for the month of February and early March. Beautiful oak lined trails and soft vibrant grass make this location gorgeous for family, maternity or kids' portraits. This session can be 30 or 60 minutes and will require a short walk with a slight hill. Not recommended for strollers or anyone with mobility issues. (Located 35 minutes east of downtown San Diego.)

Spring Trails
Rolling hills and gorgeous sunset views, this location sprouts greenery in February and grows to tall wispy grass later in Spring. I especially love this location for families as it's a big vast space perfect for grand landscapes and it's fairly empty so kids won't become easily distracted.

Cactus Garden- Balboa Park
Soft hues and beautiful diffused light make the desert garden at Balboa Park a personal favorite all year long, but I love the soft light in spring.
Succulents bloom at different times each season so there are always new colors popping up.
Make a night of it! After your family portraits, enjoy a stroll around beautiful Balboa Park or grab a bite under the market lights at Panama 66 or The Prado or the newest restaurant at the park, Artifact in the Mingei Museum.

Spring Wildflowers
I love this little spot for it's beautiful purple wildflowers and gorgeous light. It's a fun location for kids and dog friendly if you want to bring your pup! I'm basing these dates off of previous years' blooms. The vibrance and amount of blooms will depend on how much rain and sunny days we get in February and early March.

**IMPORTANT NOTES**
1) Appointments are NOT fully booked until payment and a signed contract are received. Contracts will be emailed within 5 days of you selecting your date/time. Reservations will be cancelled if a signed contract is not returned 3 days after being sent. If you have not received your contract, please email [email protected].
2) All sample images are for an idea of the location only. No particular backdrop is guaranteed. Portrait sessions will be unique. Colors and backdrops will vary due to weather, cloud coverage and other elements like crowds, closures or construction. Vibrance of surrounding trails will depend on the amount of rain and sun we receive in San Diego. Exact colors or backdrops cannot be guaranteed.
3) Additional images are available for purchase.
4) All start times are approximate. Be prepared that your session may be bumped up or back by 15-30 minutes due to weather, booking an extended session, scheduling gaps or other factors. Your exact time and meeting location will be emailed to you 2 days before your appointment.
5) Full length sessions are suggested for families of 5 or more or for clients wishing to have a wardrobe change or include their pet.
6) The Turn Around time is 12-15 days from your session date. A rush order is available for $150 and your images will be ready in 3 days or less.
7) Spring Sessions are booked with back to back clients. Late arrivals will miss out on that amount of time from their session. I highly advise planning to arrive 20 minutes early to get all participants picture-ready so you don't feel rushed at start time. Portraits should always be fun, I never want you to feel stressed!
8) All sessions include a digital package. Prints and Products may also be purchased directly through your online gallery. Additional specialty products and fine art prints may be purchased through Kellie. Please ask for current pricing.
