Location Information

Sweetwater River Bridge

The location of my Rustic Sessions, this Steele Canyon location is beautiful year-round and just 20 minutes from the beach. It’s my favorite spot for field portraits.

Meeting Place

Meet in the main Sweetwater River Trail parking lot off Millar Ranch Road. Here’s a location link. Also please refer to the map below.

Parking

The parking lot is dirt, but there’s always plenty of room, so no worries about finding a place.

Bring

If you have young children, bring a snack and special treat (aka bribe). Baby wipes are another suggestion, since we will be going through some foliage, and sometimes kids are sensitive and a nice wipe-down before dinner helps.

What to Wear

Please refer to my style guide. I will email you the password to access Style & Select.

Shoes, etc.

If you’re planning to wear heels, I suggest bringing along some flats since we’ll be doing some walking. Boots actually work GREAT at the bridge, if you want to break out your cowboy boots.

Dinner Options

East County is not known for its cuisine, but there are still some options in the area! Check out this link for restaurant ideas.
If you’re a history buff like me, you might be interested in knowing the history of the landmark.
