Documenting Your Life
in Every Season
One day you'll look back at these and remember not just what you looked like, but how it felt to be right there.
If you want to remember how this season actually felt, not just how it looked. If you cringe at the idea of standing in a field and being told where to put your hands. If you want your kids to look like your kids — wild, distracted, and completely themselves. If you've been putting off photos because you're not sure it'll feel like you. If you want something real...
I am the photographer for you.

the documentary session
investment - $675
This is documentary lifestyle photography at its fullest—unhurried, immersive, and built around something real. We'll spend our time doing something together: baking sourdough, grabbing ice cream, tide-pooling, or hanging out in your backyard. When there's something to actually do, the posing instinct disappears. You stop thinking about the camera and start living the moment.
- Duration: 90 Minutes (Space for the day to unfold with room to breathe).
- Location: In-home, your backyard, or moving between 2–3 local spots as the activity naturally takes us.
- Best For: Families & couples who want a deeply felt collection that captures not just how this season looks, but how it feels—captured the way it actually happened.
- Includes: All edited high-resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery within 3 weeks.
Bring an activity. I'll bring the camera. Let's see what we capture.
the portrait sessions
the full portrait session
Investment - $475
A beautifully unposed approach to traditional family portraits.

We’ll create a relaxed, intentional space where you have plenty of room to breathe, laugh, and just be together.
- Duration: 60 Minutes (A generous, unhurried pace perfect for letting everyone settle in).
- Best For: Families & couples who want classic portraits where everyone is connected and looking at the lens, balanced with plenty of slow, beautiful candid moments.
- Includes: All edited high-resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery within 3 weeks.
Choose Your Vibe:
- The Us at Home Session: Your home. Your people. Your real life exactly as it is. You won't remember every Tuesday. But you'll remember how it felt to be this age, in this house, with these people. There is no better place to witness the truth of a family than inside the four walls where they actually live. I'll come to you, follow your natural rhythm, and document your life right where you are most comfortable. No cleaning required, no performance needed. Just you at home, doing what you do.
- The Great Outdoors: We’ll head to the beach or a favorite local trail to play in the golden hour light, run around, and chase the sunset. I'll place you in the prettiest spots, handle all the direction, and capture your family against a stunning California backdrop while you just focus on connecting with each other.
THE VIBE:
More time to breath, play, and catch those slow, beautiful candids alongside your classic family portraits.
the short portrait session
investment - $375
Quick, real, and intentional. This is a shorter session built around genuine connection—I'll give you playful prompts (like racing with your kids, holding each other close, or walking and talking) to spark those real interactions as they happen. There are no forced smiles, no awkward guesswork, and no stiff lineups. Because our time is short, I take an active role as your director, placing your family in the prettiest light so we can capture your beautiful, fleeting expressions quickly and without the overwhelm.
- Duration: 30 Minutes (Fast, focused, and fun—done before the kids lose their patience).
- Location: Select outdoor location.
- Best For: Families & couples who want a quick, honest update on this season of life without the pressure of a full production.
- Includes: All edited high-resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery with unlimited downloads within 3 weeks.

FAQ
What if my kids won't cooperate?
This is genuinely one of my favorite things about the way I work. I don't need kids to cooperate, I just need them to be themselves. A toddler running away, a baby who only wants to be held, a kid who is way more interested in the sand than the camera. Those are the moments that make the best photos. Trust the process.
Do you give posing directions?
Honestly, not really. I usually tell you to be yourselves and forget I'm there. But, on occasion, I'll give you something to do, like walk this way, pick her up, chase him. The goal is truly for you to do your thing while I capture you as you really are, and posing directions make that impossible. The best photos I've ever taken happened when nobody knew I was watching.
What should we wear?
I'll send you a full outfit guide when you book! In general: stick to soft neutrals and earth tones when you can, avoid big logos, and wear something you actually feel good and comfortable in. Comfort translates on camera.
What if the weather is bad?
Overcast days are honestly some of my favorites to shoot in - the light is soft, even, and absolutely beautiful. If there's actual rain, we'll reschedule (unless you wanna do a fun rainy session ;) ) A little clouds and wind? We shoot!
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for golden hour sessions, which fill quickly. If you'd like to schedule sooner, still reach out just in case. Newborn sessions should be tentatively booked before your baby arrives, with a confirmed date once your little one is here.
How many photos will I receive?
Every session is different depending on how the day unfolds, but you can expect a full, beautiful gallery that tells the complete story of your session. Quality over quantity is always the goal.
