Why I struggle with May...and what I’m doing about it.

Please join me on Thursday, May 28th at 7:00pm at Books, Inc. in the Marina (2251 Chestnut St) for a night of optimism with my dear friend Dr. Deepika Chopra - The Optimism Doctor ™. She will be in conversation with an other amazing human I know, Schuyler Hudak Prionas, Editor-In-Chief of the San Francisco Examiner and the Nob Hill Gazette, followed by a Q&A and book signing.

This book has been an incredible resource in helping me seek out and harness optimism during a time of the year that historically is very dark.

You can find the link in bio for event details. If you’re local in the Bay Area, I would love to see you there.

Tomorrow the big day!!! Our amazing Finny turns 8!

This is always my favorite reel to make each year as we look back on eight years of our sweet boy.

I am so thankful to have these portraits from years gone by that really capture his growth and transformation into the kind and wonderful human he is today and will continue to become.

You should totally book the session…but don’t just take my word for it - see what past clients have had to say about their experience.

Winter Studio Petit bookings get released to those on my EARLY ACCESS list TOMORROW! Whatever spots remain will be opened up to the public on Thursday, November 6th at 10am.

Now is your last chance to sign up for EARLY ACCESS. Click the link in bio.

Also, did you hear? We are hosting one of our Studio Petit dates in LA this winter! If you live in So Cal or know someone who does, send them this!!

December 6th & 7th (Los Angeles)
January 11th (Bay Area)
February 7th (Bay Area)

Studio Petits are short 15-minute sessions that feels more like a playdate than a photoshoot. You’ll walk away with 25+ black and white portraits that capture your kid’s whole personality, just as they are.

Individual sessions are $325 and yes, there are discounts for siblings!

I can’t wait to see more of your faces in the studio this winter.

Still on the fence about booking a Studio Petit session?

Here — take a look at these photos pulled straight from real client galleries.

My goal with every session? To capture your kid’s magic.

Black and white portraits help cut the distractions so what shines through is their personality — the big laughs, the quiet stares, the quirks that make them them.

In just 15 minutes, you’ll walk away with a gallery full of images that are silly, serious, sweet, and everything in between.

There are still a few spots left! Book here: https://book.usesession.com/s/68NWk-LwlQ

Heads up, friends! Booking for my Summer Studio Petit Sessions opens next week — but only for those on my Early Access list.

Every time I run these sessions, the kids bring more curiosity, the parents settle in quicker, and the experience gets even better. I’m so excited for this next round!

If you're on the list, you’ll get:

✨ First dibs on session dates and times
✨ A little surprise for booking early

Early Access opens May 9 and closes May 12

Remaining spots will go live to the public on May 14 — so don’t miss your window to grab the time that works best for you!

I can’t wait to see more of your faces in the studio this summer.
