Newborn session on the sand at Newport Beach, Orange County
I’ll never get over how lucky we are in Orange County to be able to shoot on the beach all year round! This was a nice change to the usual newborn session at home. Not every Mama is ready for this adventure but I'm so glad this family was!
Unlike traditional posed studio sessions, lifestyle newborn photography focuses on connection and storytelling leaving room for the silly moments that inevitably comes along with working with young kids. Whether we’re at your home or at a beautiful Orange County beach at sunset, I try my hardest to make your session relaxed and baby-led. If baby needs to be fed we can pause or I can focus on older siblings running around and being their usual energetic selves!
I understand how to use the environment to create soft, flattering images without harsh flash or heavy props. These sessions are ideal for families who want their photos to feel natural, warm, and timeless.
20 minute mini session in the studio!
Sometimes all you need is 20 minutes and a simple white studio and you let the kids do their thing and shine!
A spring fling for three lucky sisters!
This party designed by Beijos Events was brimming with adorable details and fun activities for both the kiddos and parents a like.
Everything from a petting zoo from Little Horse on the Prairie, slime making with Create and Celebrate Kids and gorgeous craft cocktails for the parents by West Beverage.
The three birthday girls all had the time of their lives as you can see from all the happy smiles!

Family portraits in the park
This sweet family have been with me for awhile now… ever since Mama was pregnant with little sister! At this point they feel like friends and I look forward to our sessions together each time. Here’s a few of my favorites from their most recent gallery.
A sweet Family Portrait session in the hills.
I've been photographing this family, since little miss was a little baby.
One of my favorite things about this job of mine is being able to watch kids grow. Seeing their personalities flourish and the confidence bloom! The first time it took a little time the kids to warm up, now I'm greeted with hugs and big smiles.
