Jeffrey Open Space Trail Family Portraits | Holiday Minis

Jeffrey Open Space Trail is one of my favorite spots to take my clients for family portraits. Winding 3.5 miles through the city of Irvine, the paved path is a key link between the mountains and sea of Orange County. From open meadows to rustic bridges and wooded areas, it offers a diverse range of backdrops for portrait sessions. Additionally, it’s great to shoot any time of the day, it’s handicap accessible, dog-friendly, and great for larger family portraits as well. Which is exactly why I chose it as one of the locations for my annual holiday mini sessions. As a result, each family had the chance to explore and find their favorite spot, telling a story that was uniquely theirs.

I’m already looking forward to the next one! If you’d like to be the first to hear about new mini session dates that open up, as well as my latest offerings, be sure you’re signed up for my hype squad newsletter. This list always hears about available mini session dates and new offerings first!
