My goal is to take thoughtful, honest photographs that celebrate this phase in your life.
For couples and families alike, this means creating space in our time together for you to relax, connect and lean into each other. This means capturing the sweetness in your sometimes wild, sometimes quiet, always beautiful love.
My hope is to give you photographs that you really recognize yourselves in; that you can look back on as the years pass and your world evolves and think, “Yes. There we are. That was us.”
These sessions are for everyone: couples, families, an individual and their pup. These sessions are for everyone: all ages, races, sizes and genders. I am a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am constantly learning how I to be more inclusive for persons with disabilities. If you’re wondering if I’m open to photographing you, your love and your family the answer is yes, I’d be honored. Let’s chat.
My favorite place to start a portrait session is in your home, yard or neighborhood. It brings an element of record-keeping to the photographs we make.
“This was the house we all grew up in. This was our favorite place to sit in the sun. This was our favorite ice cream shop. These are the streets where we fell in love.”
If shooting at home doesn’t resonate with you, we can always choose a beautiful location to create more “epic” portraiture together. The Bay Area offers some of the most beautiful nature on earth - let’s pick a place that means something to you.
I offer three kinds of sessions throughout the year: full sessions, half sessions & mini sessions.
Full sessions last about 90 minutes, and are available on Sundays and select weekdays.
East Bay Half Sessions last about 45 minutes and are available most weekdays.
Mini sessions are 30 minutes long and offered three times throughout the year: just after Mothers’ Day, just after Fathers’ Day, and in late fall to celebrate the upcoming holidays. These will be held at outdoor locations in the East Bay, San Francisco, the South Bay & Marin. Dates & times are released 60 days in advance.
Each session includes a print credit that you can spend on prints, framed photographs, greeting cards or photo albums. It’s a little nudge from me to make sure you’re holding something in your hands from our time together - something you can pass around and hang on to for years to come.
I offer discounts for bundled sessions and referred bookings. My career has grown thanks to word of mouth referrals and I am forever grateful for kind words and support.
