Ahhhhhhh…it feels so good to be out in the world, arts-ing and farts-ing (yes, I’m making up words) again. It looks a little different than it did before—I’m wearing a mask, keeping my distance, and gesturing grander than ever (think wacky wavy inflatable person). And this family is one that I’m very happy to be […]

Oy vey. An entire season has passed since my last entry and so much has shifted in our human evolution since then.  One minute I’m going about my normal hustle: dropping my daughter off at school, shooting client-families INDOORS and referring to face masks as something you do to minimize pores…for goodness sake, I even […]

Lands End has got to be one of the most magical places in San Francisco for a family photo session. It feels like you’re at the edge of the world with the wild sea at your feet. And this lovely location was a perfect fit for this nature-loving family. We breathed in the misty fog […]

They say that what you do on the first day of the Lunar New Year will set the tone for the rest of the year. If that’s the case, I think I kicked it off right by combining my love for my family with my crush on filmmaking. Thanks to the first of many workshops […]

Nothing turns my heart into mush like a Day in the Life Session. These family video sessions memoralize your typical day, your routines, and everything in between so that you can return to it anytime you’d like. There’s nothing quite like capturing your family this way. It’s real. It’s golden. It is a part of […]

Gah! I’m still riding the high from this newborn session Everything about it was beautiful, but what really resonates with me is how dedicated these new parents were to each other and how present they were as they soaked up their early, hazy days with their baby girl. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

I recently spent a slow, quiet morning with this family. We basked in the morning light and took it nice and easy (as one does with a sick kiddo). There were many milestones to capture for these early years and that is something that they’re grateful to hold onto.  What I love about these Day […]

I can’t get enough of little baby toes and fingers and so you can imagine how excited I was to not capture one set, but two sets of them. I was warned that they could be a little apprehensive after waking from their nap, but they were nothing, but wonderful. 

This year kicked off with one of my dearest families as they welcomed Baby Grant to this world. Earth side at 3 weeks, this little go-getter arrived more than 6 weeks early and has already stolen the hearts of so many. His two big brothers in particular are his biggest fans and are fiercely protective […]

Oh gosh, my heart is bursting as I reflect upon the past year. Here’s a wrap up of my favorite moments from 2018. May this new year bring much more love and laughter. Enjoy (with audio)!
