Discovery
The first step of your photographic experience is to discover who you would like to bring to your photographic session, what is important to you, and how these beautiful images will be enjoyed in your home. The discovery answers ALL your questions and helps me get to know your family. We can meet over Zoom or in my San Marino studio.
Portrait Session
My sessions 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 session and telling your family story through my images really means the most to me. Get ready to enjoy a fun session and marvel how easy and peasy it was – even dad will enjoy it too! Let’s capture some beautiful photos!
Artwork Ordering
This is my favorite part of the portrait experience! You’ll view your images 1-2 weeks after your photographic session. I come to you with the collection of beautifully curated & edited images. I will present them to you via slideshow, with accompanying music so get some Kleenex handy! I can place all framed artwork virtually and select the perfect sizes on your walls. I will present you a set of pre-designed walls and show you how to pair images together for a custom album or wall gallery. During this appointment, we will sort through the images and make final decisions on what will look best with your home decors.
Delivery
Your artwork will be ready in about 3-6 weeks for pick up. I would be happy to arrange someone to assist you in installation. And once those portraits are hanging, you can enjoy and cherish the fleeting darling details of childhood!
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!
Investment
Kids and family sessions are usually 1 to 2 hours. Baby sessions can be 2+ hours. Booking a session with me is easy. A session retainer is required to book and hold the date for your session and serves as a cancellation fee.
Sessions begin at $200 and they do not include digital files. Finished products are ordered at the ordering appointment where you and I select your beautiful images and design a collection of finished products that is perfectly unique for your home and family.
Finished products range between $250 and $2990. Some of our clients have spent over $5000 on their signature portrait experience.

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.

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.
Digital files and printed artwork are ordered separately after the photoshoot.
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!”
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 to him or her. Instead of posing your newborn like a prop, I work WITH your baby’s natural rhythms. I highlights everything that first catches your attention and everything you want to remember about your little one.
