Fall Mini Sessions Are Here! 🍂📸
There’s just something about fall in Houston—even if the leaves take their time turning and we’re still sipping iced lattes well into October 😅. The golden light, the cooler evenings, the rhythm of back-to-school settling in… it’s the perfect time to press pause and capture your family as they are right now—beautiful, chaotic, and full of heart.
I’m so excited to officially announce the 2025 fall mini session locations! This year, I’ve lined up some of the most dreamy Houston locations to make your photos as magical as the season feels.
Whether you’re thinking cozy and natural, colorful and classic, or urban with a little edge—there’s something for everyone:
🌿 Terry Hershey Park - September 6th AM + PM
A hidden gem with winding trails, golden tall grasses, and a peaceful, woodsy feel. It’s a favorite for families who love a more natural, effortless look.
🎨 Menil Park – September 20th AM
Nestled in the heart of the Montrose neighborhood, Menil Park offers a calm, open green space surrounded by art and architecture. It’s perfect if you're looking for a peaceful yet artsy setting for your fall photos. The wide lawn is dotted with shade trees, and the nearby Menil Collection buildings add a minimalist, modern backdrop. It's a great choice for families who want something a little more quiet, relaxed, and beautifully understated.
💡 The Lumen Room – October 4th AM
Want to stay cool and stress-free? This clean, modern indoor studio offers beautiful natural light and a minimalist look that keeps the focus on your sweet crew.
🌸 McGovern Centennial Gardens – October 18th PM
If you love color and structure, this one’s for you. With blooming gardens, cascading steps, and gorgeous symmetry, it brings a touch of elegance to your fall minis.
🌳 Houston Arboretum – November 1st PM
Tucked away in the heart of the city, this space feels like a little escape. Think forest paths, cozy boardwalks, and beautiful filtered light peeking through the trees.
💋 Boudoir Minis – November 22nd AM
And for the mamas who are ready to celebrate themselves, just as they are? Boudoir mini sessions are back this fall too. These intimate, empowering sessions are quick, classy, and full of confidence. Perfect as a gift (to yourself or someone special), they’re a beautiful reminder that you are worthy of being seen—in every season. 🌹
Mini sessions are quick (just 15 minutes!), relaxed, and designed with busy families in mind. You’ll get beautiful, joy-filled images that feel like you—with enough time left in the day to grab brunch or head to the pumpkin patch 🎃
Booking officially opens on July 22nd to my newsletter subscribers (with a nice little discount), and these spots go quickly every year! If you’re looking for a Houston family photographer who brings out the best in your crew with a little laughter and a whole lot of love, I’d be honored to photograph your story. Let’s make some fall photo magic together 🍁✨

“Just had a fall mini session with Alli, our second time using her for family photos, and we love how all the photos turned out!! Alli is very organized and was able to get lots of photos in a short amount of time, which made photos with a 3 month old super quick and easy. Looking forward to using Alli again next year for photos.”
