Family Photography
Our family photography sessions capture authentic connections through natural posing and candid moments. We focus on documenting genuine interactions between family members using golden hour lighting. Sessions include guidance on location selection and outfit coordination to ensure cohesive visual storytelling while maintaining organic authenticity.
Maternity Sessions
Maternity photography emphasizes the beauty of pregnancy through both posed and candid imagery. We offer access to our client closet of dresses and recommend booking between 31-35 weeks. Sessions typically occur outdoors during optimal lighting conditions to create timeless images of this special life chapter.
Newborn Photography
In-home newborn photography captures early milestones within the first two weeks post-birth. Our approach prioritizes baby's comfort while documenting natural interactions with family members. Sessions include artistic details of tiny features and family connections, with optional studio alternatives available upon request.
Senior Portraits
Senior photography sessions blend posed and candid shots to reflect personal style and achievements. We recommend 2-3 outfit changes and offer location guidance across urban, natural, and studio settings. Sessions include cap and gown shots with creative props for personalized storytelling.
Couple Sessions
Couples photography documents relationships through natural interactions in chosen locations. Sessions focus on authentic connection rather than rigid posing, with location suggestions from our curated collection. Ideal for engagements, anniversaries, or milestone celebrations in the Bay Area.
