When it is cold here in San Diego, I find myself wanting to remember the warmth and joy I find in October, especially from my October Mini Sessions.

August- October are our warmest months here, something it took me years of living here to figure out, but that also means that photo sessions in October, even at 8:30am in the morning, can be hotter than you’d expect.

Here are some of my favorite photos from our warm October mini sessions last year.  Each of these families were such troopers with their smiles and easy-going attitude, you would never even guess it was almost 90 degrees at 9am!
