Lafayette Newborn & Family photographer
For the beautifully real, joy-filled seasons of family life — right here in Lafayette.
Lafayette Reservoir at golden hour is beautiful — evening light along the water, open space for kids to move freely . Lafayette Community Park is another favorite: ancient oaks, open lawns, unhurried and beautiful. I guide families into movement rather than poses. The running, the exploring, the total disregard for the camera — that's exactly where the best photos live.
I work throughout the Lamorinda area and beyond — Orinda, Moraga, Walnut Creek, Danville, and wherever feels right for your family.

In-home newborn sessions come to you — working with the natural light and comfort of your own home. Calm, unhurried, completely led by your baby. Your house doesn't need to be perfect — you just had a baby.
I serve Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, and the surrounding Lamorinda area.

In home, lifestyle newborn photography in Lafayette & East Bay.
Lafayette's rolling hills and golden hour light make it one of the most beautiful places in the East Bay for a maternity session. Spring and fall especially — the light in those hills in late afternoon is hard to beat anywhere in the Bay Area.

Maternity photography in Lafayette & East Bay.
Let's Connect
You don't need your children to behave a certain way for the session to work. They don't need to sit still, smile on cue, or interact perfectly with each other. I guide when needed, but mostly I'm paying attention to how your family already works together — that's where the connection worth remembering comes from.
As a Bay Area mom of two, I get it. I've never left a session without beautiful photos — toddler tantrums, tears, and all.
relaxed & Authentic
Based in Alameda, I serve families throughout the Lamorinda area and wider East Bay. Family and maternity sessions take place outdoors at locations across the region. Newborn sessions come to you, wherever home is — including Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Walnut Creek, and Danville.

THANK YOU!
If you’re looking for family photos that feel natural and reflective of this stage of life, I’d love to work with you.
Share a bit about your family, the season you’re in, and what you’re hoping to remember most.
I’ll be in touch within 48 hours to begin planning something meaningful together.
The sweet spot for those sleepy newborn photos is typically 7-14 days old. If that timeframe does not work for your family, you haven't missed your chance. Honor your family's timeline. Babies older than one month will offer more eye contact, connection and potentially sweet smiles.
How far in advance should i book a Lafayette newborn photographer?
It's a beautiful location in East Bay for maternity. The evening light along the water in the late afternoon is genuinely breathtaking — soft, warm, and completely flattering. Spring and fall are the best seasons, but it photographs beautifully almost year-round.
Is the Lafayette Reservoir a good location for maternity photos?
Wardrobe greatly impacts the results of your images. I provide detailed tips on styling your family, and am available to help you coordinate outfits so everyone looks and feels beautifully in sync.
Do you offer styling?
Yes — I serve the entire Lamorinda area including Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga, as well as Walnut Creek and Danville. Newborn sessions come to you wherever home is, and family and maternity sessions can take place at beautiful locations throughout the area.
Do you travel to Orinda and Moraga for newborn sessions?
Lafayette Community Park, with its ancient oaks and wide lawns, is another beautiful option for families with younger children. For something more dramatic, the hills above Orinda offer incredible golden-hour light in spring and fall.I'll help you choose based on your family and the time of year.
What are the best locations for family photos in Lafayette?
Yes! I have two of my own, volunteer weekly in a school classroom of 3-5 year olds, was a former elementary volunteer and now primarily photograph younger families. While some children may need time to warm up to the camera, I know we will be able to capture memories you'll cherish during our session.
