East Bay Session
From stunning bay views to beautiful parks in the hills and carefully chosen hidden spots, the East Bay offers some of the best locations for your dog’s session. These are places I’ve personally scouted and love working in, so you can simply pick the setting that suits your dog and enjoy the experience.
Leona Heights:
quiet & easy
A peaceful, tucked-away spot with lots of variety in a small area.
✔ Minimal walking required
✔ Includes short stairs for extra variety
✔ Trees, tree stumps, benches, and a small canyon
✔ Off-leash area, but usually very quiet
✔ Great for shy, sensitive, or lower-energy dogs
Joaquin Miller Park:
classic woodsy trails
A beautiful mix of forest trails and open space, with plenty of room to explore.
✔ Some walking required (we can keep it light or go further)
✔ Trees, open fields, and scenic woodsy trails
✔ Off-leash areas, especially calm in the mornings
✔ Great for dogs who enjoy exploring but don’t need anything too intense
Point Molate:
a hidden beach
A calm, tucked-away beach with soft light and open views. The combination of beach, trees and a view of the Richmond bridge is a personal favorite.
✔ No walking or hiking required, but a slight drop to get to the beach
✔ Very quiet and low-traffic in the morning
✔ Great for shy, low-energy, or easily distracted dogs
