In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session
My SF Bay Area newborn photo sessions embrace an organic, natural approach to capturing the arrival of your new baby. Unlike traditional posed newborn photography, my lifestyle sessions focus on the authentic interactions and the deep love parents feel for their newborn. It’s not just about the peaceful sleeping baby curled in baskets; it’s about the fleeting, beautiful moments that make this time so special.
“Her intimate portraits offer a true glimpse into the ephemeral beauty of this time—tender interactions with a freshly minted life, the delight on the faces of parents and siblings—all in a setting where you are completely comfortable, your home. Choose her if you want to be able to revisit the feeling of having a newborn, as her style will allow you to do just that.” – The Best Newborn Photographers in SF
Family &
Children’s
Photography
I strive to capture natural and enduring portraits for families, creating timeless memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. My family photo sessions are relaxed, fun, and tailored to reflect your family’s unique connection. We can shoot in the comfort of your own home or at an outdoor location of your choice, set against some of the SF Bay Area’s most iconic landmarks and parks.
Some of my favorite locations include Presidio Park, Baker Beach, Crissy Fields with its stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and Sutro Baths. However, I am always open to exploring new locations based on your vision.
When planning your family photo session, it’s important to choose a time when your child is happiest. For outdoor sessions, early morning light (just after sunrise) or late afternoon light (about 2 hours before sunset) provide the best natural lighting for beautiful, glowing portraits.
Full Belly Love
