I always get asked what a session with me its like, and all I can say is it is
super fun! But, while everyone does always say that they had such a great
time, they forgot that they were taking photos - it is so much more than
that. We will explore, play, laugh, adventure & make some amazing
images together! If you read below, you can learn more about what to
expect from our session together and how you can get ready for it!
I know photography is an investment, but your family will only be like they are now, once! So now is the time to document all those cute tings your toddler does, how your daughter loves to twirl or how your spouse/partner looks at you! I’m passionate about capturing families who believe in the value of meaningful, authentic photographs that will last a lifetime.
Investing in Memories
03
Connection and trust foster all sorts of good things around here. I really do care and want to be more than just a photographer to you. Let's focus on creating together rather than just getting it done.Families always say “Sorry, we’re awkward and don't love getting our photo taken”, and by the end they’re saying how easy and fun it was. Trust me, getting photos taken doesn’t have be awkward in any way, and I wil make sure we have fun together!
Connection & Trust
02
My style is much more about the connection and love, than it is about taking the perfect family photo. Our session will b more of an adventure than posing, and I love for interactions and images to happen organically rather than spending all our time trying to create something out of thin air. Of course you will get a handful of posed images where everyone is looking at the camera too, that's just not our focus.

It's important that we are a good fit for each other so that I can meet or exceed your expectations in every way! Our goals and ideas for the session should align so that we both are happy with the result. If you have read all of this and feel that we are a good fit for each other, email me so we can make some magic together!
The Right Fit

I am a wife & a mama of five littles, so my time is really valuable to me. I book a limited amount of sessions each month to enable myself to be at my best physically, mentally and creatively for my clients. Sessions go quickly, so don't wait!
Limited Availability

I don’t stick to one specific style, because every couple's story is so different. I make sure that the way I’m interacting, shooting, and editing is reflective of who my families are and how things actually felt. The artistic choices I make aren’t to benefit me because these are your memories, not mine. I focus on quality over quantity so we can create something together you’ll value forever.

My Style

The best images are ones that tell a story, emit emotion, and authentically capture the personalities beyond the lens. Whether you’re ready to celebrate this moment in time with your dearest loved ones with maternity, newborn, family, or elopement photos, I offer family and elopement photography in the Sacramento and Bay Area.
STARTING AT 3700
There’s nothing like the beauty of elopements and courthouse weddings. Truly, they’re some of my favorite occasions to document. I love the quiet and tender moments of “I do” and the concentrated sweetness of keeping it small and all about the couple. This is your biggest day, and I’m honored to help you remember each and every little piece of it, from giddy giggles to happy tears.
packages STARTING AT 900
From maternity and newborn sessions to small and large group family photos, I love capturing special memories and the unique connection you have with all your favorite people.
