portraits

fun + beautiful

As a mom of 3, I understand that children cannot be pressured into smiles & happiness. I structure family sessions like play time and it's not uncommon to take breaks to take the pressure off. With prompts to foster connection, your result is beautiful portraits that showcase the love, happiness, and craziness that make up this season of life. 

After booking, I'll take the reins so you can focus your energy on the marathon that is parenting everyday! I suggest beautiful locations to pick from, help with your wardrobe planning, and do all the heavy lifting on session day. 

All I ask is you trust the process and let me do my thing. With over 300 family sessions under my belt, I know a thing or two about making magic happen despite any unplanned variables!

Session fee for new clients is currently $650.

Mini sessions are offered to past clients first and are only on predetermined dates/times. 

Currently I serve the immediate Bay Area + Reno/Tahoe. I only take on a handful of new clients each year. 

It is best to inquire 2+ months in advance.
