I'm a family photographer in the Walnut Creek area. With over 10 years of experience photographing families (and 2 young girls of my own) I am dedicated to guiding families through their photography experience. I specialize in working with toddlers (and sympathizing with their tired moms). I truly love the joy and chaos they bring to sessions!

welcome!

can grandparents join our photoshoot?

Always! Just let me know they are coming and if they have any special mobility needs so we can find the best spot for everyone!

do you have any references?

Yes! I have over 60 5-star reviews on Google! See what all my past clients are saying!

my little one hates pictures - should we wait until next year?

Kids might hate the stand and smile pictures they are used to, but we are going to be playing and having the best time! Even photographing over 200 families per year, I've never photographed a family that didn't end up full of smiles and giggles by the end. 

what happens after the photoshoot?

Galleries can take up to 4 weeks to deliver but I average about 2 weeks. You will get an email with a link to your gallery where you can download and share your photos as well as order heirloom quality product like prints and albums.
