Let’s be friends!

When you are looking for a family or newborn photographer, you want to make sure you are a good fit. Sure, you want to make sure your style matches how they shoot, and that their pictures give you the warm fuzzies, but you also want to make sure you actually want to spend time with them, because real smiles come when you are really enjoying what you are doing.

So, let’s get to know each other, shall we?

My husband, daughters and I all lived in a 500 sq. ft. apartment for years in the heart of San Francisco. We finally bought a house in Marin and all we could talk about the entire time we were moving was how we now had the luxury of two whole bathrooms. Anyone with a potty-training toddler knows what’s up.

I'm obsessed with people's homes. I regularly ask my own family photographer to photograph my family in our house, with it’s paint splatters and sharpie-stained furniture and legos everywhere. It’s not a perfect home, but it’s ours, and documenting where we are in our lives in it gives me so much happiness. I would shoot in someone's one bedroom, one window, plastic toy-filled apartment any day of the week. Low light? Ugly kitchen? Cramped spaces? I'm here for it.

I’m a sucker for joy-filled, bursting with laughter photos. When the dark and moody photo trend came into photography, I felt like such a weirdo with my bright, true-to-life, happy photos. Something in me told me to stick with it, and now I’m over a decade into showing real smiles and belly-laughs on camera and I couldn’t be happier with that choice.

I’m a chaos lover. I come from a family of big personalities and love being surrounded by boisterous kids and playful and spontaneous adults. If you think no one can handle your crazy kids, I promise you can count on me. I feed off of high energy and absolutely love when my families bring a little bit of crazy to their shoots.

I have a thing for making sure moms are in their memories with their kids. I started the #itsmomchallenge a few years ago as a campaign to get moms in the picture with their kids. We've had hundreds of people participate across the world.
