Holiday Mini Sessionsabout

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 natural light 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 beautiful.

Let’s start with a quick chat about what matters most to you.

We’d be honored to create portraits you’ll love for a lifetime.

For me, photography has never just been about images—it’s about people, relationships, and the stories we share. If that’s what you’d like in your portraits, let’s talk.
At the end of the day, portraits are about people—the ones you love most. If you’d like photos that reflect that love, I’d love to create them for you.
No two families are alike, and no two sessions should be either. That’s why I design each one with your unique story in mind. If you’d like that for your portraits, let’s plan something special.
Families often thank me for making the process so simple and stress-free. That’s exactly how it should feel. If you’d like that kind of experience, let’s chat.
Every stage of life deserves to be remembered—from newborn snuggles to senior year and beyond. If you’d like to capture your family’s journey, I’d love to work with you.
I’ve built my business on relationships, not just sessions. Many clients have become friends over the years. If you’d like a photographer you can trust long term, let’s start here.
