Anna’s senior session was a TON of fun-what a beautiful, classy & down to earth girl! She graduates in just a couple of weeks (hooray!) and I was lucky to meet up with her for a fun Senior Session. I loved how easy she was to talk to, how she is so genuine & the fact that she did a Bollywood dance at a school assembly. Cool girl award? I think so. Here are my favorites from her session…

I was so lucky to be able to photograph beautiful Taylor for her Senior Session! She is vivacious, fun & a talented dancer. I knew from the moment I met her that I was going to have a wonderful, fun time taking her photographs! We had a great time & I was so happy to have such a gorgeous gal to photograph-it certainly makes my job easier! And can we just say how adorable Taylor’s wardrobe is? I wanted everything she brought!

Okay, my friends in the Biggest Little City…I am headed your way very soon to shoot some mini sessions! I love the families I have been able to photograph during these mini sessions in the past & I can’t wait to meet new families, as well!
For those of you who don’t know, I ONLY shoot family sessions twice a year when I do my mini sessions so the slots are extremely limited. Mini sessions are a great way to have a quick, FUN photo shoot at a fraction of the regular price. You will be getting priceless, beautiful images of your darling family that you will LOVE. I promise. You might even shed tears of joy when you see how stinking cute your family is in the photographs.
Each mini session is $249, includes a 35 minute time slot & ALL of the high resolution images which will be emailed to you for download via Box.com. You will receive a print release so you can print the images at your leisure, wherever you’d like. You can take the images & make your own photo albums, Christmas cards, birthday gifts, magnets, canvases, wallpaper, billboards….you get the point.
Please scroll to the bottom of this post to select the time slot of your choice & pay through PayPayl directly from there. The location of the mini sessions will be emailed to you two weeks before the photo shoot with directions, parking information and where to meet up with yours truly.
Here are some shots from last year’s mini sessions….I can’t wait to take more darling photos this year, as well. Hope to see you there! XOXO, marielle






I am E.X.C.I.T.E.D!!!!! to do mini sessions again this year! The mini sessions will be held both in Oakland, CA and Reno, NV. Quite honestly I wanted to create a cute flyer on my blog with amazing graphics, a fabulous typeface & possibly some glitter if it was possible. The problem is that I don’t know how to do any of those things so YOUR job is to just pretend that this post has amazing graphics, a fabulous typeface & some glitter. Plus, I figure that my photos can speak for themselves. If you haven’t had a mini session done before, it’s a great way to have family photos taken at more than half the price. If you have done a mini session with me in the past, I hope to see you again this time around!
Here are the details:
Each mini session is $249, includes a 35 minute time slot & ALL of the high resolution images. You will receive a print release so you can print the images at your leisure, wherever you’d like. Heck, you can even print wallpaper with your photos if you want. You can pick your time slot & pay via paypal at the bottom of the post. After you’ve signed up for your mini session you will be entered to win a FREE custom designed coffee table book with your family photographs inside (valued at $350) if you simply share this link on Facebook. I will pick one winner & the winner will be announced the week of August 13th. I’m looking forward to all my mini sessions this year! Here are some of my favorites from my mini sessions last year…






Oakland Sessions
In the midst of all the engagement sessions & weddings I’ve been shooting this year, it was nice to change things up a bit & shoot a senior session for beautiful Camilla. She is smart, fun & is going to be attending Brigham Young University after this summer. Isn’t she a total doll? She is just as sweet as can be & I loved getting to know her a little bit as we drove through downtown Reno (in the crazy wind storm!!!). Here are my favorites!
