For couples and families who want portraits that feel natural instead of forced, I am a Vacaville-based photographer who guides every part of the experience, from outfits to posing to pace, so you can focus on being together and still walk away with a photo worth framing.

Vacaville
Couples & Family Photographer

The good news? I know how to read the room.

A little humor for reluctant partners.
Toddler-led, play-based sessions at their pace.

The real secret happens before we even meet:
two short questionnaires,
a custom prep guide,
a location guide, picked just for you.

So by session day, there's nothing left to chance.

Prepared. Playful. You.

No guessing where to stand.
No guessing what to wear.
No guessing how anyone will do.

You just need to show up and enjoy this time together.

"Sooo, one of us hates portrait sessions...."

aaah yes... the universal complaint i've heard from hundreds of people just like you.

Easy from start to finish. I designed the booking process to be as easy and transparent as possible. You pick your session length, scroll through real photos of locations I love so you already know what you're walking into, and choose a date and time for your session.

Now, the fun part begins! You'll receive a full planning guide immediately upon booking that provides outfit inspo, places to shop, additional location options and how to prepare your littles for our time together. The week before, you'll answer a few questions about your kids, not just names and ages, but what makes them laugh, what makes them nervous, what's worked (or hasn't) at past sessions. By session day, this isn't a strange lady with a camera. It's someone who already knows your family.

Session day is built around your kids' trust, not their compliance. There's room for games, breaks whenever anyone needs one, and zero pressure on the shy one to jump in before they're ready. You will get at least one classic, everyone-looking-and-smiling shot, that one's non-negotiable, but the rest of the session is about capturing who your family actually is right now, silliness included.

There are two session lengths to choose from: 30 minutes or 60. Kids have a way of losing interest fast, so most families go with the 30 minute session, and it's plenty of time to get everything you're there for. Whichever length you choose, every session includes:

Kind Words

My clients all seem to rave about the same thing... how easy and effortless their experience was with me. That's because, aside from my sparkling sense of humor of course, I've been photographing couples and families for almost two decades. Basically, I've pretty much seen it all. This unique experience has allowed me to know when and how to help! From the seamless booking process to assisting with outfit coordination and ideas all the way through the delivery of your final gallery. My priority is to make this easy for you, so you can focus on what's really important...enjoying your kids while they're little and making new memories.
