Do you require a deposit to book?

Do you help choose the session location?

Absolutely! Here are some ideas in the Modesto area:

  • Fahren’s Park (Merced) - A local favorite! A beautiful, versatile location with tall trees, open grassy areas, and a peaceful creek. Perfect for families, couples, maternity, and engagement sessions.

  • Merced National Wildlife Refuge (Merced) - For a more natural and rustic feel, this location offers open fields, soft grasses, and beautiful Central Valley scenery. Especially gorgeous during golden hour and seasonal migration.

    Lake Yosemite (Merced) - A gorgeous option for golden-hour sessions, featuring open skies, water views, and a relaxed natural setting. Perfect for couples, maternity, and family sessions.

    Oak Grove Park (Ripon) - Offers a grassy meadow with oak clusters and winding paths. Natural and peaceful.
