Bay Area Maternity Photographer

Photography that embodies magical lighting, joyful, genuine emotions, and impeccable style.

I CAN HELP with that

Want to travel through time?

You know how flipping through old photos instantly takes you back to a specific moment in time? Like how looking at a picture from your first day of college or selfies with friends being silly. One day, you’ll do the same with the moments that feel so present now. You’ll see yourself gazing at your belly, wondering if your baby would look like you—or if you’ve managed to clone their father for the second (or fifth!) time. Then there’s that one shot of your giggling toddler, fresh off telling a “joke” that only they understand. You can almost hear their laughter, so vividly it feels like stepping into a time machine. These are the photos you’ll hold close, while wishing you could relive those magical days. And you can—with my help as your Bay Area maternity photographer. So what do you say?

Let's time-travel together!

Experience

Your time and energy are limited—and if you’re like most of my clients, you want this process to feel simple, supportive, and intentional from start to finish. That’s why I’ve built an experience that takes the guesswork out of what to wear, how to prepare, and how to make the most of our time together—while giving you room to feel like yourself in front of the camera.

From styling support with pieces that flatter your changing body, to gentle posing guidance and thoughtful pacing during your session, every detail is designed to help you feel confident, cared for, and maybe even a little more like yourself again. And because I include lifestyle newborn sessions in my top two packages, that’s one less decision to make later—no scrambling to find someone new when you're running on fumes and learning life with a brand-new human.

The time we spend together capturing these short-lived moments will be so much more than just pictures. They’ll be a tangible way to travel back in time—to when your newborn fit so perfectly in your arms, their soft scent still fresh in your memory, and your heart swelled with the overwhelming love that filled your home from the very beginning.

The KCP Promise

What Makes Me ?

I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in your own skin—during pregnancy and in those early postpartum days. I’ve been there too: wearing a mesh diaper, leaking in weird places, trying to bond with a tiny human while figuring out who I was in this new body. The thought of being in front of a camera? Overwhelming didn’t even begin to cover it.

But that’s exactly why I do things differently.

This isn’t about pretending to feel beautiful—it’s about creating a space where you actually can. Where you’re supported, styled, gently guided, and never left to guess what to do next. Whether you’re in the thick of anticipation or adjusting to life with your newborn, I’m here to make this feel effortless—because I know how heavy this season can already feel.

And when you look back at these images, you won’t just see a photo. You’ll see your strength. The quiet power it took to show up with love, even when it wasn’t easy. You’ll see how your baby looked at you—with total trust and wonder. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll see yourself the way they did all along:

Strong... Radiant... Deeply Loved...
