My approach has always been centered around patience, observation, and creating an environment where parents can simply settle into being with their baby instead of feeling like they need to perform for the camera.
For the past 15 years, I’ve photographed newborns, families, and the early seasons of parenthood in a way that feels natural, relaxed, and true to life.
Creating Images That Feel Like You
I’m drawn to natural light, quiet moments, and photographs that feel timeless without looking overly styled or staged.
Rather than relying on props or complicated setups, I focus on the connection between parents and their children, the atmosphere of your home, and the subtle moments that often become the most meaningful later on.
Sessions are lightly guided, but never overly posed. I want you to recognize yourself in your photographs years from now, not a trend or a version of parenthood that felt manufactured for the camera.
After 15 years of working with families and newborns, I understand that every session unfolds differently.
Some babies need extra soothing. Some parents feel exhausted or overwhelmed. Some homes are loud and busy, while others are quiet and slow. None of that needs to be “fixed” to create meaningful photographs.
Many parents mention in their reviews how calm and patient the experience felt, and that matters deeply to me. My role is not just to take photographs, but to help create an environment where families can relax enough to simply be present together.
As a mother myself, I also understand how quickly these years move. What often feels ordinary in the moment eventually becomes the part you want to remember most.
Experience Matters During Postpartum
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area
I photograph newborns and families throughout the Bay Area for parents who value natural light, thoughtful imagery, and a more understated approach to photography.
The goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel beautiful, personal, and lasting, without making the experience feel complicated.
