Planning the Trip from San Jose
Total drive time is 2 hours to 2.5 hours via I-680 → I-80, depending on traffic. Many Silicon Valley families turn the session into an overnight Sacramento trip — there are excellent boutique hotels downtown (The Citizen, The Sawyer, Hyatt Centric) and a real food scene if you'd like to make a weekend of it.
Best Session Times
For minimal traffic, we recommend Tuesday–Thursday late morning or weekend afternoons. Maternity sessions are best at 28–32 weeks. Newborn sessions schedule for the 5–14 day post-birth window once your baby arrives.
