Portrait sessions during your stay in Etna, California
Blossom Studio is the in-house photography offering at Blossom Sanctuary. Golden hour on the lawn, morning light under the oaks, wildflowers in spring and warm color in the fall. If you would like portraits of yourself, your partner or your group while you are here, we can arrange a private session on the grounds or nearby in Scott Valley.
Sessions are by request only and are scheduled in advance, so please reach out before you arrive.
