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.

Inside my natural-light studio in Folsom, I’ve created a space where families can simply arrive, breathe, and be held in this season.

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.

This year brought over 30 sessions, and with each one came new connections, heartfelt stories, and an overwhelming reminder of just how much love surrounds us when we pause to notice it.
