The moments that make up your stories
Sharing some of my favorite maternity stories
Inside my natural-light studio in Folsom, I’ve created a space where families can simply arrive, breathe, and be held in this season. A place where you don’t have to worry about tidying your home, packing everything perfectly, or feeling rushed. Just a calm environment where your story can unfold naturally
When someone asks me what I love about photographing families, I tell them it’s witnessing the small, beautiful pieces of your story continuously unfold.
You know that feeling when you walk into someone’s home and immediately notice the warmth? The kind that comes from photos lining the hallway, a framed moment above the mantle, or a little album sitting open on the coffee table?
There’s something so personal, so grounding, so full of love about a home filled with memories.
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. As we captured the soft glow of evening light and the gentle curve of her belly, it was clear that this baby was already deeply loved.
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.
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 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.
If you're located in Sacramento, Roseville, or anywhere nearby, and you're wondering how to choose the right photographer for your session, here are a few thoughtful tips to help you decide
As the days grow warmer and nature awakens in soft hues of green and gold, spring offers a fleeting beauty that’s perfect for capturing timeless family moments. There’s something magical about this season—the gentle breeze, the golden light filtering through the trees, and the sense of renewal that fills the air.
I’m so pleased to announce that spring family sessions in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and Sacramento are now open for booking. Whether it’s celebrating the quiet, intimate moments of parenthood or capturing the laughter of little ones exploring the world around them, spring provides the perfect setting to tell your family’s story in a natural and heartfelt way.
As we gather around the Thanksgiving table, there’s something undeniably magical about this season. It’s a time to reflect on the fleeting moments we share with our families, the little things that often go unnoticed in the day-to-day rush. For me, capturing those moments is a gift, and this year, I’m excited to offer something special for you to preserve them forever.
I believe that every family photo is a work of art, a cherished memory that deserves to be crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. The moment when you and your loved ones come together in front of the camera is just the beginning. The true artistry lies in the careful, thoughtful process of editing, where your photos are transformed into timeless masterpieces that reflect the beauty and love within your family.
As a mother, I often find myself holding on to fleeting moments with my little ones—the laughter, the cuddles, and the quiet moments we share. I know how quickly time passes, and the thought of those moments slipping away can be bittersweet. That's why capturing them in photos feels so important to me. It's not just about freezing a moment in time; it's about preserving a memory that you'll cherish forever.
As you embark on the remarkable journey of motherhood, filled with endless wonder and boundless love, I want to extend my heartfelt greetings and assure you that you're in the gentlest of hands. Preparing for your newborn photography session isn't merely about logistics; it's about creating a sanctuary of warmth, love, and cherished moments that will be etched into your heart forever.
Today, I was hoping to share with you a glimpse into my world—the world of capturing moments, emotions, and the raw beauty of life through my lens.
Each session I have the privilege of shooting holds a special place in my heart, but there are a few that stand out, each for their own unique reasons.
I am beyond thrilled to share the story of Jessica and her growing family as we celebrate her beautiful maternity journey. At 36 weeks, with her radiant glowing bump proudly on display, we captured this special moment in the golden afternoon light, allowing the sun's rays to filter into my Northern California studio, creating stunning shadows and highlights.
During our session, we aimed to showcase two distinct vibes that perfectly reflected Jessica's unique style and personality.
As you already know, my brand-new STUDIO IS NOW OPEN! I have just finished editing the sessions from my studio and I cannot wait to share them with you.this first session in the studio was truly magical, and we were so happy we were able to finish renovating the studio in time to welcome her newborn baby girl.
I’ve always aimed to provide an exceptional photography experience that captures the essence of your family’s love and connection. To take this vision to the next level, I am delighted to introduce my new studio in Northern California, serving families from Sacramento to Roseville to El Dorado Hills.
The beauty of motherhood was unfolding before my lens This was not just maternity photos but a celebration of the miracle of growing life.
Your maternity photo session should be something that is stress-free & exciting. Heres your full guide to making sure thats possible!
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.

Photographing families as they grow, here in El Dorado Hills and throughout the Sacramento area, has taught me that time doesn’t slow down. But memory can be held. Gently. Intentionally. With care.
And if I’m lucky enough to keep walking alongside your family as your story unfolds, I promise to keep honoring it just as it is. Unposed. Unrushed. Full of heart.
These photos show so much love and feeling while also being simple and beautiful. One of my favorite sessions of Japan photography.
Family photos are essential but as a family photographer, something I see overlooked a lot are couple photoshoots. Here's why you need one!
