Thanks for your interest in my holiday mini sessions!
Mini-session portraits are perfect for:
• Holiday Cards
• Photo gifts (calendars and canvases!) for grandparents
• Families looking for a few specific gorgeous images
• Mothers-to-be who want maternity photos without committing to a full maternity shoot
• Engaged couples needing a few photos for their save-the-date cards
• Anyone who has been wanting to get professional photos taken, but who doesn't want to do a full session.
I know it's tough to think ahead for a special occasion session quite yet, but trust me! Now is the time to plan your photos! These sessions always sell out fast, you're going to be SO GLAD you did!

Vallentyne Photography is a portrait studio in Oceanside, CA, with a newborn studio in Carlsbad, CA, serving North County and San Diego. With 20 years of experience, we specialize in natural, timeless portraits for families, maternity, newborns, and seniors—capturing genuine moments on location or in our beautiful portrait studio.
We’re here to make the process easy and enjoyable. Let’s start with a quick chat about what matters most to you. We’d be honored to create portraits you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Your portraits should be more than just photos—they should be heirlooms that tell your family’s story. If you’d like to start creating yours, let’s connect.
With over two decades of experience, I know how to take the stress off your plate so you can simply enjoy the moment. If you’d like that kind of support, let’s talk.
Families often tell me they’re surprised by how much fun their session was. That’s always my goal—natural, relaxed, and full of laughter. If you’d like that too, reach out anytime.
Your photos shouldn’t just sit on a computer—they should live in albums, frames, and prints you see every day. If that sounds right to you, I’d love to help design it.
Being part of this community means I get to photograph people in the same places I grew up. That history makes each session even more special. If you’d like to create your own memories here, let’s connect.
My clients often say the hardest part was just reaching out—after that, I guide them through everything. If you’ve been thinking about photos, I’d love to make it easy for you.
