Kate was SO down to earth, friendly, fun to work with and creative. She captured some of the most beautiful and artistic photos of my family.

Professional photos can often seem daunting, right? I get it. I've been in the situation of frantic, last-minute shopping and arriving at a photoshoot stressed out and covered in sweat with an annoyed husband and whining kids. Fun.

But here's the bright side: as your photographer, my mission is to ease the process. I coordinate everything from the ideal Bay Area location, your attire, to the flow of the session. I keep things lively and light, let your kids be their energetic selves, and seize those perfect photo moments without you even noticing it. (Literally- read this testimonial.)

In a world filled with photographers, why choose me? Aside from my experience with hundreds of happy clients and my recognized work, I prioritize a relaxed, enjoyable experience. I left the corporate world to run a business that's anything but uptight. My 40+ 5-star reviews speak for themselves.

 

My Goal as Your Photographer

That I make even brand-new clients feel like old friends.

That the husbands actually verbally stated that they enjoyed themselves.

That they have no idea how I created such beautiful images because it felt like they were just hanging out and chatting with a friend for our session.

That I know how to work with grumpy kids and make them look like they enjoyed themselves.

That I know how to make a cluttered and messy home look Pinterest-worthy.

FAQs 〰️

 
 
  • You have two options- you can book the type of session directly under the type in the “Pricing” section of the Info page. OR you can inquire via the form on my contact page to get more info before booking your session(s).

  • All session fees include my time, talent and artistic creativity, editing, styling support for clothing and scouting of beautiful settings for outdoor and/or studio sessions, and final digital gallery I will deliver to you approximately 3-4 weeks later.

  • You will receive a number of high-resolution, artistically edited, and retouched digital image files in an online gallery that I will share with you so that you can select your favorites according to the session you purchased.

    I will use my creative eye to pick the images which best capture your spirit (and not closed eyes, blurry hands, unflattering shadows, etc.). I typically edit about 75 - 100 images per hour session.

  • Good news! After you book your session with me, I will send you a prep guide email that includes access to an amazing online wardrobe design app I’ve purchased for my clients. You will be able to design the entire fam’s outfits and even be able to purchase the clothing in stores (no kick back to me either). It’s so convenient, easy, and my clients who use it love it!

  • I watch the weather channels like a hawk when I have an upcoming session. That being said, the weather can sometimes change suddenly and we need to adjust as necessary. Unless we have extreme weather in the forecast that make it difficult for me to get to you, we likely will keep our date for family sessions. As far as newborn sessions go, I understand that sometimes parents need more time to adjust to having a new little person who keeps them up al night, and we can adjust as necessary to ensure we capture a happy and relaxed session!

  • You can expect to see your finished gallery via a slideshow 3-4 weeks after our session.

  • Yes!
    Introductory sessions do not include prints, but you may order them through my gallery site or your own professional grade print vendor.

    I do not give printing rights to big box chain stores such as CVS, Target, Walgreens, Costco, etc., because I promise you, your images will look like garbage when printed on inferior printers (I’ve tested them to make sure).

    I highly recommend Artifact Uprising, Bay Photo Lab, and of course my own printing services for quality prints and am happy to guide you on your purchases. 

    I also offer products in my gallery store, which I highly recommend you utilize!
