Fall Family Photography in
Marin & Sonoma County
Fall Family Photos That Feel Like Your Family
Every year, the weeks between September and November become some of my favorite days behind the camera. Golden hills, towering redwoods, colorful vineyards, cozy holiday settings—fall offers some of the most beautiful locations in Marin and Sonoma County for family photos.
Whether you're updating your family portraits, celebrating a milestone, or creating this year's holiday card, I'll make the entire process simple from start to finish.
From helping you choose the perfect location and outfits to keeping little ones engaged during your session, my goal is for you to enjoy the experience—not stress over it.
Fall weekends fill months in advance, so I recommend booking as early as possible.

We booked a mini holiday session with Tracey for our holiday cards and we could not be more pleased with the results. They have been a big hit with our families this year. We brought our great (albeit a little hard to manage) dogs with us for the shoot and she was so patient and understanding with them and managed to get some really, really sweet pictures of those little wiggle worms. She was also so warm and easy to be around which really eased my socially anxious nerves. Could not recommend Tracey enough!

We booked Tracey for a mini session in Sebastopol. Booking, reminder and location instructions were super easy to follow. We arrived and pretty much started right away. She was relaxed, warm and put everyone at ease quickly. Two weeks later (as promised) we received our beautiful images. Lighting, composition and variety of images were exactly what I’d hoped for. Thank you Tracey!
