Family Lifestyle Gallery

I’ve had the privilege of serving bay area families since 2011. In other words, I have seen it ALL. I’ve seen meltdowns, wardrobe malfunctions, blow outs, and wipeouts. I’ve also seen family cuddle puddles, kitchen dance parties, full belly laughter, and so many hugs and kisses. My point is that real life will happen during our session and we’ll say YES to all of it. I’ll make it look beautiful.

My approach to family sessions…

I consider our photo session a time for me to witness your family, its dynamic, and tell a visual story from a mother’s gaze. This means photographing your family with the utmost care they deserve. our session together should feel relaxed and genuinely enjoyable, even for those folks who feel awkward about being photographed. I believe a big part of my job is to make you and your family feel at ease. I do this by bringing a relaxed and positive attitude and saying yes to whatever arises during our time together. I photograph families using natural light only and embrace a “lifestyle” approach of gentle directing but never posing. I promise you won’t stand there, not knowing what to do. 😉 Ultimately, my job is to make beautiful images of your family that make you feel something.
