Embracing Self-Love and Care Through a Family Photo Session
There is a particular kind of forgetting that happens in motherhood. It isn't dramatic. It doesn't announce itself. It just quietly settles in, somewhere between the middle-of-the-night feedings and the school drop-offs and the thousand small ways you pour yourself out every single day. And one morning you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and realize you can't quite remember the last time you felt truly seen.
Why Spring Is One of My Favorite Seasons
Spring sessions have quietly become some of my favorite sessions of the entire year. Not because of flowers or trends or perfect weather… but because this is often the last season before everything feels full again. It’s one of the few times when families allow themselves to slow down and be taken care of instead of rushing from one thing to the next.

The Story of Baby Mina, a rainbow after the storm
There’s something incredibly powerful about photographing parents who have walked through loss. Every maternity image carried a story. A reminder that love persists, even in the most fragile moments.

What I’ve Learned Photographing Growing Families…And Why I Always Recommend Maternity & Newborn Together
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside so many families as they grow from that quiet season of expectancy to the hazy, love-filled newborn days. And the more I witness these chapters unfold, the more deeply I believe in documenting both. There’s something profoundly meaningful about preserving the whole story, not just the moment baby arrives, but the months leading up to it, the way your love expands before your arms are even full.
Fall is calling, and my calendar is now open.
It’s that time of year again when the soft, golden light of fall makes every moment feel extra magical. I am so happy to officially open my calendar for fall family photo sessions in Sacramento and Roseville. This year, I am offering full-length sessions along with a very limited number of petite Christmas sessions as a little holiday surprise.
Choosing a Photographer Who Truly Gets You (and Your Season of Life)
Choosing a photographer is more than finding someone who takes beautiful pictures.
It’s about finding someone you trust to hold your story with care—someone who will see you fully, guide you gently, and help you feel at ease in front of the camera. Especially when you’re documenting moments as meaningful as motherhood, a new baby, or family milestones, the experience matters just as much as the final images.
