There’s something magical about mornings at Balboa Park: the soft light, the peaceful walkways, and the sense of having the space all to yourself. That’s exactly what made this family’s San Diego mini session so special.
This sweet family of four — mom, dad, and their two young daughters — met me at Alcazar Garden early in the morning. The colorful tiles, lush greenery, and quiet pathways were the perfect backdrop for their photos. With almost no one around, we were able to capture candid moments, giggles, and hugs without any distractions.
Morning mini sessions are ideal for families with small kids. Little ones are often happier earlier in the day, and the soft morning light makes everyone look their best. Plus, fewer crowds mean more space to explore, play, and create natural, relaxed photos.
If you’re looking for a San Diego photographer mini session, Balboa Park offers endless beauty: from its historic gardens to its hidden pathways. My mini sessions are designed to be short, stress-free, and full of real moments. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want updated family photos, a San Diego mini session is the perfect way to capture your story.
