Marian Bear Memorial Park Family Portraits

Four white children pose in the grassy fields of Marian Bear park. Three girls and a baby boy. The two older girls hold the younger one and the baby on their laps.

This year, the second family portrait location for my San Diego Mini Sessions day was Marian Bear Memorial Park. After parking in a dirt lot and jumping from rock to rock through a little stream, a trail leads you through a lightly forested trail lined with oak trees. There’s tall grass (and wildflowers in the spring) to explore through, downed logs to climb, and beautiful light all day long. While I do recommend wearing boots or closed toed shoes to get through the stream at the beginning, bring your photo-ready shoes because the walking is easy going from there.

These sessions were fun for all and I love how the photos turned out. If you haven’t signed up for my hype squad yet, make sure you do— Hype squad always hears about available mini session dates and new offerings first!
