I offer maternity sessions, newborn sessions and family sessions throughout the year. I offer mini sessions twice a year, in the spring and fall, in Marin, San Francisco, the East Bay and Peninsula.
I update my availability calendar multiple times a year and usually book out three months in advance at the most (with the exception of newborn sessions, which can be booked farther in advance).
I notify my mailing list first before releasing my new dates, so if you want first pick of session dates to be added to my mailing list, email me and I can add you!
You can read about the difference between my sessions below, as wells as check my availability through the booking link. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about my sessions, booking process, or just want to say hi!
Mini sessions are perfect for families who want timeless images with a simple, streamlined experience. Short in length but rich in connection, each session is designed to feel relaxed, natural, and beautifully intentional—because even the smallest moments deserve to be remembered.
I offer mini sessions twice a year, in the spring and fall, in Marin, San Francisco, the East Bay and Peninsula. Mini sessions are 20 minute sessions on a specific pre-determined date in the Spring and Fall at a location of my choosing. These sessions are scheduled back to back with other families.
Full family sessions are designed for connection—unhurried, honest, and deeply meaningful. This is time set aside to simply be together. To slow down. To laugh, move, cuddle, and let moments unfold naturally.
With plenty of time to settle in, these sessions allow space for real interactions and genuine emotion—the quiet hand squeezes, belly laughs, and in-between moments that tell your family’s story as it truly is. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but the focus is always on creating an experience where your family feels comfortable, present, and fully yourselves.
If you’re drawn to imagery that feels warm, intimate, and full of life, a full family session offers the freedom to capture it all—beautifully and authentically.
Full sessions are offered throughout the year on weekends and select week days. There are around 45 minutes on a date and at a location of your choosing, and give you more flexibility and preference of locations and timing based on your family's needs.
Storytelling Sessions are a documentary-style experience focused on the beauty of your everyday. Held in the comfort of your home, these sessions are centered around the simple moments that make up your real life—making breakfast, folding laundry, playing on the floor, reading stories, or heading out the door together.
There’s no pressure to perform or pose. Instead, I quietly observe and gently document your family as you are, capturing the small details and honest interactions that often go unnoticed but mean the most. The messy counters, the bare feet, the way your child reaches for you—these are the moments that tell your story.
These sessions are about preserving life as it feels right now. Because one day, the ordinary moments will be the ones you miss the most.
Please inquire about these sessions - bookings are limited to January - August.
Newborn sessions are a quiet, intimate experience focused on the bond between you and your baby. These sessions are unhurried and gentle, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and simply holding your newborn close.
Rather than stiff poses or props, the focus is on natural connection—the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, the soft pauses, the in-between moments that already feel fleeting. I’ll guide you lightly while leaving space for the calm, honest moments to unfold naturally.
These sessions preserve the tenderness of early parenthood and the beginning of your family’s story—just as it is, beautifully real.
Family newborn sessions are designed to document this season as it truly feels—full of love, adjustment, curiosity, and connection. With a relaxed pace and plenty of time, these sessions give siblings the freedom to be themselves while capturing their relationship with your newest addition.
Expect moments of snuggles, curiosity, quiet observation, and playful energy. I’ll gently guide when needed, but the heart of the session is allowing your family to interact naturally, creating images that feel honest, warm, and full of life.
These sessions honor the beautiful chaos and connection of welcoming a new baby into an already-growing family—preserving memories you’ll treasure long after this season has passed.
