my philosophy

My approach to photography is all about capturing real, unposed moments.

 

When I photograph families, my focus is on capturing the real, lovely moments that make your family unique.

 

Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.

The early days with a new baby are quiet, emotional, and beautifully fleeting.

All sessions include:

• Pre-session communication and session guide

• A relaxed, baby-led approach with plenty of time for feeding, changing, soothing, and simply settling into the moment

• Thoughtful editing in my signature natural style

Frequently asked questions

Can we bring our pets?

Of course!

 

 

 

Do you travel for photoshoots outside of California?

 

Yes! I do traveling sessions all the time. I travel to New York, San Francisco and Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, Seattle, Japan, Korea and China frequently. And many other places when I'm called on. I love to shoot anywhere meaningful for you.

When should we take our photos?

 

 

For outdoor sessions, lighting is usually best early morning right after sunrise or 1-2 hours before sunset if you like warm glowing "golden light" look. I am comfortable to work with any light at any time of the day. We will have great time if you want to embrace different light with me, as long as you are aware of light affects the tones of photos.

Do you photograph weddings and couple sessions?

 

Yes!
