I’m a Marin family photographer who works with parents who want simple, honest photos of their family, no posing trends, and no pressure to perform. My sessions are relaxed and efficient, with a focus on real connection and meaningful moments you’ll want to keep for years. You don’t need to stress about outfits, just show up as you are.

Marin Family Photographer

Most families I photograph in Marin and Mill Valley aren’t looking for picture-perfect. They want something that feels honest, photos that reflect real life, not a curated version of it. You don’t need to worry about what to wear or how to pose. I’ll guide you just enough so things feel natural, not staged.

Sessions can happen at home, in your backyard, or somewhere nearby that feels like part of your routine. The setting stays familiar so your kids can relax, and the photos reflect who your family actually is, not someone else’s version of perfect.

We have used Isela for our family photos since my daughter was a newborn (now 9). We couldn't be happier with the photos Isela has taken. She is able to capture the soul, laughter, love, and delight of my family. Stop looking for a photographer and book Isela, you won't be disappointed!!!
