of this season,
just as it is
Hi, I'm Rebecca, a Bay Area lifestyle photographer based in Alameda, California, specializing in newborn, family, and maternity sessions.
I'm married to my best friend and we're raising two energetic, curious daughters who fill our days with laughter and plenty of chaos. When I'm not photographing families you can find me gardening with my girls, planning a DIY project with my husband, or exploring the incredible outdoor spaces we're lucky to have here in the Bay Area.
I've been passionate about photography for over 15 years, but it deepened in a completely different way the moment I became a mom. What started as a creative outlet became a meaningful way to document my own family — the fleeting moments, the tiny details, the magic of childhood unfolding in what feels like fast-forward. Those are the images I capture for other families too.
I'm based in Alameda and photograph throughout the Bay Area: East Bay, San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin County, and beyond.

I love to be outside! My favorite time of year is when the flowers are blooming. Our family spends a lot of time gardening. My girls love to eat tomatoes from our garden, dig holes for bulbs (and worms!) and run through flower fields with me.
I was so lucky to grow up close to a beach on the East Coast, and also spent a few years on Oahu with my husband for his career. On a warm summer day, I love to take my girls to splash in the waves and play in the sand. Core childhood memories I hope to pass on.

My husband convinced me that we should buy a century old home in need of love the month before our first daughter was born. It has been an unexpected adventure, but I love that we are slowly (very slowly) making it our own.

My first baby! Our cavapoo, Murphy, is the sweetest dog and loves everyone. Right now he is particularly smitten with my youngest because she loves to feed him her food when mama isn't looking.
My Dog, Murphy
