documenting   the story   of family

from lovers

to parenthood

in an organic, sincere way

An artful approach to capturing the essence of what makes us all unique

YOUR VISUAL DIARY AWAITS

You should see yourself,

being you ——

it’s beautiful

If you’re looking to capture depth, texture, stillness and maybe some crazy, you’re in the right place.

My family lives in a little house next to the ocean. Our neighborhood is a quintessential beach community, full of young families, surfers and some of our best friends. It’s truly the life.

I'm fired up about delivering photographs to you that will be treasured not just for a moment, not just for one lifetime but for generations to come! I often have pinch-me moments because I can’t believe that my job is documenting the love people share. I truly believe that it will be a life long pursuit.

The photo gallery of my dreams. Effortlessly genuine, emotional and detailed. They will be pictures I’ll cherish for my lifetime! She is insanely talented, down to earth, easy to talk to, and great with kids. I’m so glad I found her and will remember our wonderful experience forever.

Offerings

Family, Maternity, Couple and Newborn Portraits

  • It would be an honor to spend a morning or evening, immersed into your world. This session is the most comprehensive and yet, the most relaxed. It ensures enough time to fully capture each personality, which is difficult to do under time constraints.

    Let’s just hang out, drink coffee and let the day unfold.

    This session is ideal for the nostalgic, who want to look back in 20 years and relive a perfect day, full of whimsy and texture.

  • We can use this time together to hangout in your nest, or to be exclusively outside, enjoying nature (or ice cream).

  • Short and sweet.

    This session can be as minimalistic or dynamic as you’d like. There is just enough time to capture the full picture and the details.

    • offered seasonally

    • predetermined location

    • limited slots

    Sign up for my newsletter to be the first to know when my next Mini Session Day is happening.

I want to capture you,

BEING YOU.

I’ve been doing this for awhile now..

And I am sure of this:

The best photographs naturally occur when everyone feels relaxed, heard and seen.

NOT when things are being forced.
