One session.
Two locations.
Three incredible people.
Infinite incredible moments.

From the elegance of Palace of Fine Arts to the iconic views of the Golden Gate Bridge — this session was pure magic.

It took us over a year to finish this custom heirloom album. But it was so epic, we had to print two additional copies for the grandparents.

This wasn’t just a photoshoot.
It was an experience.

Can't wait to see what adventures I get to document for this family this year! 🥰

Most people know me for emotive newborn imagery and heartfelt outdoor family portraits.

But when you become “the family photographer”… you don’t just photograph stages — you document legacy.

This stunning birthday celebration was for an extraordinary woman I’ve had the privilege of photographing again and again.

And when my clients grow, celebrate, evolve — I evolve with them.

Happy birthday 🎈 You are gorgeous!

How to prepare for a stress-free newborn session.

Tip #1

Warm up the room we will be shooting at. I like it to be around 75 F -- it's nice and warm for the baby and still tolerable for parents!

Warmth helps baby stay cozy and sleepy.

I'll share more tips soon, but if you have a specific question, feel free to dm me!

Everything you need to know before baby’s first photoshoot 🌿

Your newborn session is all about slowing down, soaking in these fleeting first days, and capturing the sweetness of your baby just as they are. Here’s what to expect:

⏰ Session Duration
We usually start around 9 a.m., when babies tend to be calmest. Sessions typically last 2–3 hours, but we move entirely at your baby’s pace. There’s always time for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes — no rush, ever.

🌿 Props & Outfits
I bring a curated collection of hand-crafted wraps, headbands, and tiny outfits, all in soft, timeless tones. Before your session, we’ll chat about the colors and styles you love so I can bring pieces that feel like you. I’m all about simplicity, subtle beauty, and letting your baby be the star of every frame.

🍼 Feeding
Try to feed your baby right before the session, so they begin calm, cozy, and full. A sleepy, happy baby helps us capture those dreamy, snuggly shots everyone loves. Don’t worry if they need a top-up mid-session, breaks are part of the flow.

💬 Have a question about newborn sessions?
Ask in the comments or send me a DM, I love helping parents feel relaxed and ready for their little one’s first photoshoot.

A Frozen wonderland for a very loved little girl ❄️✨ Turning 3 was nothing short of magical with Elsa, Anna, and a full-on indoor snowstorm that had the kids (and grown-ups!) in awe.

Her parents go above and beyond to make sure every birthday feels magical, and this little girl will grow up knowing just how deeply she is cherished. 💙

I don’t usually photograph birthdays, but I’ll always make an exception for this family… especially if indoor blizzards are involved. 😉

From start to finish, this Frozen celebration was nothing short of epic: princesses, snow, sing-along, balloon animals and face painting! It was one of those parties that will be talked about for weeks! A true fairytale brought to life! ✨❄️💙

This family holds such a special place in my heart!

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of capturing their journey through many different photoshoots,
and each one has been a chapter in their beautiful story.

From the joy of welcoming a newborn, to
milestones that reflect how their love continues to grow, it’s been incredible to witness the
transformation of their lives through my lens. It’s families like this that remind me why I fell in love
with photography: to freeze moments in time that will be cherished forever.

I’m beyond grateful for their trust and loyalty. In 2024 we documented birthdays, holidays and epic
magazine-inspired photoshoots in San Francisco. Just flip through some of the photos of this year’s
sessions. I feel so lucky to be part of their journey.

: thank you for letting me tell your story, for being authentically you, and for
allowing me to be a small part of your legacy. Here’s to many more memories captured together!

Who wants to go to San Francisco for a photoshoot with me?? Because... it... is... EPIC!....
This is my 7th 😲 photoshoot together with this beautiful family and they wanted it to be a little something different... I think we achieved it and then some!
It is such a pleasure and honor to keep documenting this sweet 2.5 yrs old from the days when she was just a tiny newborn to now as an energetic and curious toddler. 🥰

Always learning, always looking for new challenges, and always finding new ways to find share my creativity with people I get to work with. Enjoy this keepsake film from a recent newborn session of a sweetest 4 lb baby I've met. ❤️
