As a busy mom myself, I know how it feels to be pulled in a million directions. The thought of planning family photos can feel overwhelming — coordinating outfits, finding the right time, getting everyone to smile. But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

I built my family photography experience around ease, presence, and creativity — so you can slow down, be yourself, and still end up with the most meaningful images of your family. Based in Walnut Creek, I specialize in in-home family photography for families across the East Bay (and travel anywhere), with a signature mix of digital, film, and Super 8 video that brings your family story to life in a truly timeless way.

There’s no rushing out the door, no fake smiles, and definitely no stiff posing. I come to your home where your kids feel most comfortable — where real moments unfold naturally. Whether it’s a quiet newborn session in soft morning light or a joyful weekend cuddle pile in the living room, I’m there to document it in a way that feels honest and beautiful.

Why choose me?

• I bring the studio to your home or a natural space of our choosing — no rushing, no pressure
• I shoot both digital and film for timeless images
• I take the stress off your plate with full planning support
• You don’t need a picture-perfect house — just your people
• The result? Thoughtful, nostalgic images you’ll actually want to print and frame
