Napa Newborn Photography | Hello Nico! | San Francisco Baby Photographer

So much fun to shoot in my new home town!
I’ve been photographing babies all over the Bay Area since 2002, but mostly in San Francisco, the East Bay and of course, down the Peninsula. Which was where we called home until this past summer, when we moved to beautiful Napa!
To [...]

Napa Valley Family Photography | Baskerville Family | Napa Lifestyle Photographer

I love when I’m editing images and suddenly can’t help but laugh out loud. I love that when I’m spending time with families, they begin to relax and just enjoy being together. This was one of those perfect silly moments, and I felt very lucky to be able to capture it!

There are so [...]

Palo Alto Family Portrait Photography | Gibbs Family | San Francisco Lifestyle Photographer

I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by! I remember my first session with the Gibbs, when Henry was just over a year old. Now 3 years and 4 more sessions later, I can’t believe how much Henry & Grant have grown! Just look at this beautiful family and their [...]

San Francisco Maternity Photography | Awaiting Maya | San Mateo Maternity Photographer

I’m a sucker for children with curls.  If you’ve ever seen pictures of my little ones, or my husband (when he is one of his longer haircut stages) you’d understand!  I especially love long curls on children, so when I met Ari, Maya’s big-brother-to-be, I became an instant fan!
I love how you can see wisdom [...]

San Francisco Newborn Photography | Meet Madeleine | Bay Area Newborn Photographer

I so love being able to photograph babies-in-belly during our maternity sessions, and then be able to return to capture their brand-new arrival during the first month!  I had so much fun with Suzanne & Paul during their maternity session, and was so excited to hear of Madeleine’s arrival!  Here is miss Madeleine’s first photo [...]

San Francisco Family Photography | Golden Gate Park Portrait Session | Lauren + Family

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph Lauren in belly, at 1 year and now again at almost 2 years old!  She’s super fun to be with, and I especially loved photographing all of her many, many expressions!  Check out all the fun we captured during their session below!
To begin the session, we started at Lauren’s [...]

Palo Alto Portrait Photography | San Francisco Lifestyle & Family Photographer

Becca, Hannah & Craig have returned from Boston!!!  I was so excited to see Becca & her family return to the Bay Area after mom & dad spent the last two years at Harvard Business School.  Even with the distance, I’ve managed to get the opportunity to photograph their family each time they returned for [...]

San Francisco Portrait Photography | Bay Area Lifestyle Photographer | Liam Summer ‘09

I was so excited to see Liam again this summer!  I photographed his mama for a maternity session, then his newborn session shortly after.  I so love seeing little guys grow and change, and goodness, Liam has got some personality!  Just check out his hilarious interaction with his favorite monkey friend below!
Can’t you just hear [...]

Unposed please!

When Sarah called me to set up her session, I was so excited to hear her say that she wasn’t interested in any posed portraits.  In general, I approach my shoots with a focus on capturing families in a natural, storytelling way - which means undirected and unposed.  That said, I often find that parents [...]

Meet Graham!

I am so lucky to be able to see families I work with - grow!  Hilary invited me to photograph Taylor when he was born, and I’ve had the pleasure of photographing him (and his amazing curls - see below!) two other times over the past few years.  I look forward to seeing Graham grow [...]
