Photography in the Heart of Marin
Mill Valley has a quality that's hard to describe until you've spent time here — a softness in the light, a stillness under the redwoods, a warmth in the downtown corridor that makes it feel like a village tucked inside a forest. I've been photographing families in Mill Valley for years, and it remains one of my favorite places to work.
Whether we meet at Old Mill Park, walk the Tennessee Valley Trail, or I come to your home somewhere in the Mill Valley hills, every session is tailored to your family and the places that are meaningful to you. No studio, no props, no stiff poses — just your people, the light, and the moments that actually happen.
Favorite Locations in Mill Valley
Old Mill Park
The creek, the redwoods, the dappled light through the canopy — Old Mill Park is one of the most beautiful family photography settings in all of Marin. Sessions here work beautifully in any season. Golden hour here is exceptional in fall.
Tennessee Valley Trail
Wide open meadows, coastal hills, and a trail that opens to the ocean. Tennessee Valley is stunning for maternity sessions and family portraits where you want space and movement, not just shade.
In Your Home
Mill Valley homes have character — cedar shingles, wooden beams, windows that let the mountain light in. In-home sessions here are always full of beautiful natural light. I come to you, and we photograph the spaces and routines that make your life your own.
Downtown Mill Valley
Throckmorton Avenue, the plaza, the alleyways — downtown Mill Valley has a quiet charm that makes for beautiful candid portraits. Best on weekday mornings before the village wakes up.
Sessions in Mill Valley
In-Home Newborn Photography
In-home lifestyle sessions for babies typically 5–21 days old. I come to your Mill Valley home and work around feeding schedules — no rushing, no studio, just the quiet magic of those first weeks. See a real in-home newborn session in Mill Valley from just a few weeks postpartum.
Family Sessions
At Old Mill Park, Tennessee Valley, or in your home. 45–60 minute sessions capturing your family exactly as it is — the laughter, the tenderness, the way you actually are together.
Maternity Photography
Best between 28–36 weeks. Tennessee Valley at golden hour is a stunning setting for maternity portraits. In-home sessions in Mill Valley's beautiful homes are equally gorgeous.
Headshots
Natural-light headshots for Mill Valley entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals. 30-minute sessions, 10+ edited images, no studio required.
About your photographer
Based in San Anselmo, shooting across Marin
I'm Cass — I've been photographing Bay Area families since 2018, and Mill Valley is one of the communities I return to most. My approach is quiet and unhurried: I follow your family's lead, photograph the in-between moments, and try to make the whole experience feel easy. Every session includes 30+ edited digital images delivered within two weeks. Learn about all session types, pricing, and availability at Marin Mini Sessions.
