I had the honor last weekend of taking photos for Alameda’s second annual Pride in the Park. Their theme was “Love One Another,” which was a beautiful yet poignant reminder that we are all humans worthy of love. I’m so thankful for having this wonderful community to remind us that among the heaviness, there is still […]

These recent sessions are giving me ALL the feels. I’ve been documenting this family from their early parenting days when they were just a family of three to them most recently resettling into their home with another kid tucked under their wings—this same tyke who is turning one year old today. Revisiting the same humans […]

With all the hustle of the day-to-day, it’s no surprise that in-home sessions are in high demand. I mean, we all use a good excuse to slow down, right? And I can’t imagine a better location to do that than at a place that holds the most meaning. These in-home sessions are my absolute favorite. […]

I hope you’re having a good, relatively calm closure to your summer and transition into fall. We wrapped up our lazy summer with a mini family reunion and our first road trip up the CA and OR coastline. On the way up, we drove along the coast and visited the towns of Fort Bragg, Klamath, […]

The stars + planets have been aligning just right because I’ve come to meet some pretty fantastic families. This one, in particular, will always have a warm place in my heart. They initially reached out because their 91 year old grandmother was visiting, and they thought they would value some photos of this special time […]

Film has always been something that has filled my cup in more ways than I could ever put into words. It’s not just about the film I create with my client-families, but also the journey I have the privilege to witness. And this Year in the Life film is no exception. As the name suggests, […]

November is here, which means the season of togetherness and gratitude is just around the corner. And just as stuffing and mashed potatoes are staples to the table, so are group photos of the family. But wait! Your favorite family photographer shouldn’t have taken that extra serving of pie and is now in a food […]

Oh gosh, it feels like ages since I’ve held a baby as itty bitty as three days old. The little fingers & toes, tufts of hair, soft whimpers, those early days of getting to know one another. It’s a privilege to be in this sacred space, and these sessions are such treasures for me as […]

Have you ever wished you had a time machine to magically transport you back to a moment to relive from your childhood? I would give almost anything to revisit and re-feel what a day in my life looked like when I was little. To see how I moved and sounded. To see how my parents […]

I’ve been channeling some positive juju to this family as they patiently wait to welcome their newest addition. I remember playing all these wild scenarios while waiting for my daughter to come along. Will it be like the movies? Will my water break and gush in the most public of places? Will I be able […]
