Newborn session with a sweet big brother!
This is a fun filled newborn baby portrait session that included an adoring big brother who was all about the kisses and cuddles… until he wasn’t!
An in-home newborn and family lifestyle session is all about preserving those fleeting, beautifully ordinary moments—just as they are. Unlike posed studio portraits, lifestyle sessions unfold naturally in the spaces where your family feels most comfortable.
For this session we focused on the more classic family portraits at the start of the session while big brother was still warming up to me. When he needed a little break I focused on pictures of baby brother by himself , then moved on to more candid lifestyle family portraits.
I find letting toddlers guide the way during a family portrait session is the best. Toddlers don’t have to sit still. In fact, the magic often happens in between—big sibling giggles, a gentle forehead kiss, the puppy dog style flop to the ground.
The newborn stage passes in the blink of an eye. An at-home lifestyle session allows you to slow down, soak it in, and hold onto the feeling of these first days—long after the sleepless nights have faded into memory.
A family portrait session at the beach bursting with joy!
These girls bounce up to me each time ready to go at every session! For people watching us I’m sure it looks like chaos but we always get the most genuine smiles and sweetest moments captured!
I specialize in natural light, lifestyle photography that highlights authentic connection — especially during beautiful beach sessions. Families with young children, especially energetic little girls, thrive in outdoor sessions. The beach provides space to explore while I gently guide you into flattering, natural poses that feel effortless and sometimes unstructured and completely hilarious.
We’re so lucky to have so many beautiful beaches to choose from in Orange County and it’s definitely one of my favorite places to photograph families.
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 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.
