Families can choose to either do the photos at the La Brea Tar Pits Park where there is grass, trees, logs, and walkways. Or you can do the session at the LACMA light installation on Wilshire Blvd. The lights can get crowded and are occasionally closed for private events but are unique and visual for something different. There is street parking at meters or paid parking lots at both LACMA and La Brea Tar Pits. Reference photos available upon request!

This is a gorgeous woodsy park with a variety of looks and beautiful spots.

Pretty and easy to walk around. Location samples available upon request. There is metered Street Parking or you can park at a nearby 3rd Street Promenade Parking Lot and walk.

This location is a park that runs along Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. We will meet at the rose garden and then take pictures along the walkways.

Location samples available upon request. Metered street parking available, just watch the signage for restrictions.

This session will take place either on the pier with a carnival feel, under the pier with the poles and ocean or near to the pier with the pier in the background. If the lifeguard stand is closed we can do that as well. You will choose one of these spots for your session. Paid parking in the Pier Parking lot. This location requires a lot of walking so please plan accordingly. Location samples available upon request!

This session is ONLY recommended for people who are sending a New Year's card or just want photos and are not sending cards. The turnaround is about a week, longer if a flash drive is being mailed to your home. This is the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. UCLA is a beautiful campus with trees, brick buildings, long hallways, a fountain and beautiful architecture. UCLA can be a busy location, I am hoping that doing a holiday weekend will help.
