For the beautifully real, joy-filled seasons of family life — right here in Piedmont.
Piedmont family sessions are play-based and unhurried — I work within the beautiful chaos of young family life, not against it.
Dracena Park is a personal favorite: open space, beautiful light, and room for kids to move freely. Piedmont Park is equally stunning with its mature oaks and quiet, established beauty. And if you want something different, I know many other East Bay options well.

I come to you — working with the natural light and comfort of your own home to create images that feel personal and true to this moment.
In-home newborn sessions are calm, baby-led, and completely unhurried. Your house doesn't need to be perfect — you just had a baby.

Piedmont Park at golden hour — dappled light through a canopy of mature trees — is one of my favorite local East Bay maternity locations.
For something different, the broader East Bay offers beautiful variety depending on the season and mood you're going for.

Let's Connect
You don't need your kids 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.
Based in Alameda, I serve families throughout the East Bay including Oakland, Rockridge, Montclair, Berkeley, Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda and beyond.
Family and maternity sessions take place outdoors at locations across the Bay Area. Newborn sessions come to you, wherever home is.
I have received your message and will get back to you as soon as possible within 1-2 business days. I cannot wait to chat with you!
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.
Absolutely. While I love photographing in Piedmont, I serve families throughout East Bay and greater Bay Area — San Francisco, Berkeley, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Palo Alto and beyond. I'm happy to suggest locations wherever feels right for your family.
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.
Yes — I come to you. In-home newborn sessions are available throughout Piedmont and the surrounding East Bay. I work with your home's natural light and the details of your own space to create something personal and true to this moment in your family's life.
Dracena Park's open space, light, and room for kids to run freely make it one of the best family session locations in the East Bay. Piedmont Park is another beautiful option, especially for maternity sessions or families who want something with a more garden-like, established feel. I'll help you choose based on your family and the time of year.
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.
