A family’s natural rhythm isn’t reflected in posed pictures with curated outfits and everyone saying “cheese.”

It’s about all of those in-between moments: the cluttered toy-filled rooms, walks around the block, living room dance parties, art projects at the dinner table, and those blissful Sunday morning pancake-making sessions.

That’s where the magic happens.

Your home is where your story is.

There is no more perfect backdrop than the home your family has made together. The paint on the walls, the furniture in the dining room, and the kids’ art posted on the fridge are all beautiful details that are uniquely yours.

Five, ten, twenty years from now, you’ll marvel at how small the children once were, or how grandma threw her head way back when she laughed. But you’ll also notice the beloved cat snoozing in the background, the art on the walls, or the rocking chair that you once sat in to nurse or read.

Authenticity

Reflecting what is true.

I'm a family documentary photographer in Oakland.

Photography is a way to preserve memories. As a mother of teenaged children who are nearing their launch, I’ve often worried I’d forget what they were like at different stages. Like my son’s early love of basketball or how my daughter used to stick her tongue out when she learned to write her name.

It brings me joy to capture those moments for other families too. I strive to make images that are treasured for a lifetime and depict the relationships that bond you and the milestones that define you.
