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.

Tracey has been a joy to work with for our family photo sessions for the last two years. She is a master of her craft, and has made the process of getting family photos very easy. She is great with getting my two squirmy little boys to smile, and has been very accommodating with unforeseen complications like crazy weather. I look forward to having her do our photos each year, and appreciate the ease of working with her.

Tracey was lovely to work with for our family photos and she even let us bring our dog. She was so good with my kids and made them comfortable- which showed in the photos, they looked like their true selves in the pictures. Our photos came out so beautiful and we treasure them. We had them taken on Mt Burdell in Novato- really special and gorgeous place and the lighting was incredible. Highly recommend Tracey and we will use her again and again.
