The Design Consultation
The first step of your photographic experience is to plan who you would like to bring to your photographic day, what to wear, timeline of the session, and visualize where these images will be enjoyed. For this appointment to be most fruitful, it is best to meet in your home. I can meet your loved ones and get to know your family a bit more. Optional Zoom call is also available for the out-of-towners.
The Photo Shoot
My shoots are fun and carefree! Of course, there will a few guided poses for the artwork on your wall, announcement cards, and for the grandparents! Embracing every aspect of your photo shoot and telling your family story through my images really means the most to me. Get ready to enjoy a fun time and marvel how easy and peasy it was – even dad will enjoy it too! Let’s capture some beautiful photos!
View and Order
Approximately two weeks after your photo shoot, you will come to the studio for your View and Order appointment. Your View and Order appointment is the time set aside to finalize your portrait order, so be sure and schedule a time when both mom and dad can be there.
Using our state-of-the-art software and photos of the walls in your home, we will show your portraits scaled onto your walls, which solves the problem of what size to order; not too big, not too small, but just right!
We will guide you every step of the way using your goals from the consultation to achieve your vision for your family portraits. This is my client’s favorite part of the photoshoot experience!
Delivery and Installation
Your artwork will be ready in about 4-8 weeks. We offer delivery and install in your home or office locally or have them wrapped up beautifully as gifts to your loved ones afar. And once those portraits are displayed, you can sit back and cherish your artwork that just happens to be your family.
I am so thankful when families return year after year to add their gallery walls or album collection with their changing family. Seeing your family grow is the sweetest part of my job!

fun and casual in the studio
Love the studio for baby milestones! My studio is light, bright and has a number of backgrounds (grey, dark charcoal, white, and industrial windows). Yes, I’ll get look-at-the-camera photos and classic baby portraits, but who says you can’t be candid in a studio? All my regular silly, fun games apply and we play play play. The result is animated, candid images that show of your family’s personality and love for one another.
For newborns, babies, children, and the whole family.
in-studio toddler session
I just love photographing these “sitting-up” sessions with toddlers! Isn’t Renee adorable?! She is so fascinated with simple props in the studio. Her facial expressions melted my heart!
These “sitting-up” sessions can be done in the studio or at home.
For babies under 1 year old. Can be combined with a maternity shoot as part of The First Retrospective Album.
Sunny Spring Time in the Park
The days are getting warmer and the flowers are in bloom. Hello, spring! It’s an incredible time of year for photos where the grass is a special kind of green and the weather is perfect for outdoor sessions at your local parks.
For babies, children, and the whole family.
A non-refundable booking fee is required to reserve your session
Remember the first time you met your puppy or kitten? When your fur-baby looked at you with “will you love me” eyes, you knew you are going to do whatever it takes to take good care of him/her.
I love when I receive an inquiry from a client who is interested in booking a session with their furbaby. I photograph on location in my natural-light-bathed studio in San Marino, amazing homes and destinations. I treat all my furbaby clients as if they were mine.

Baby-led newborn session
The sweet little yawns, the tiny toes, the way he looks at you, and how he reacts to your tender touch.
“I love these photos because that’s exactly how he looks at me!” ~ Stephanie
My signature newborn sessions are simple and natural.
Forget hours of photo shoot that can add on more stress to the already busy mom. I document newborns in a way that is natural and authentic. Instead of posing your newborn like a prop, I work WITH your baby’s natural rhythms. We start by getting to know your baby… how s/he reacts to your whispers, touch, singing, kisses and etc.. These little moments will take you back in time when you flip through the album. These portraits will be cherished forever.
The Premium Collection
Looking for something no one else has? These museum quality canvases are unlike anything you’ve seen or felt before. I draw inspiration from the magnificent impressionists of Monet, Degas and Renoir. The original image is photographed in-studio or on-location. It is then painted and transformed into a one-of-a-kind art piece.
