Fall Family Mini Session (Outdoors) - 2025
Are you interested in a short and sweet outdoor session with Melodi Photography?
I'll photograph your family in about 30 minutes at CSUB, Riverwalk Park, Haggin Oaks Park or another local park of your choice in SW or NW Bakersfield. (No Hart Park - Please contact to book a full family session at Hart Park).
After the session you'll be able to select your favorite 12 digital images for me to edit and deliver to you within a week. The cost is $400.
The session is for immediate family only. If you'd like to add grandparents, friends, relatives, etc. it's $20 per additional person.
$50 is required to book, and the remaining fee ($350) is due on the day of the session.
You can start the booking process by selecting a date and time below (booking takes only a few minutes).

Family Portrait Session
Family sessions are a combination of casual lifestyle photography with lightly directed portraits. I like to photograph you acting naturally and having fun in a comfortable environment, but I will also give subtle suggestions and guide you into positions that make for great portraits.
I’d love to get to know you and your family because I want you to love your photos! We will discuss the location, your family’s clothing selections, prop options and your vision.
During our session, children are encouraged to run around, play and be silly.
Family sessions regularly start at $500.
Please check out the fall mini session offerings (which start at $400) here.
And Christmas mini session offerings (which start at $250) here.
For large families, please inquiry.
$200 non-refundable retainer fee is required to secure a date.
The rest of the fee is due on session day.
Print ordering is optional and prints start at $50.

No big grins this time, just soft snuggles with mom and those adorable serious faces that show who he is right now.
These photos will be such treasures to look back on. 🥹💙

This is me, the one who cheers when your toddler finally giggles, fixes stray hairs, and quietly tears up behind the camera when your baby smiles. 🥹♥️
Grateful every day for this work 🙏🏻
