The lifestyle
Experience
child-led sessions focus on capturing genuine, unscripted moments that reveal a child’s true personality and emotions. By allowing the child to guide the flow of the session, photographers can document authentic interactions and spontaneous expressions, resulting in heartfelt, timeless images.
Imagine photographing your family at home, in an environment that feels familiar, cozy, and completely your own. Bare feet running around, afternoon light drifting through open windows, kids playing where they feel most themselves.
These sessions don’t have to take place at home, though they can. They can happen anywhere in California that feels meaningful and easy — a place your family frequents, loves, and knows well. And if you’re not sure where that might be, I’m always happy to help you choose.
I photograph family sessions on digital and film, documenting life as it unfolds naturally. No forced poses, no asking anyone to perform. I’m simply there — like a friend hanging out with a camera — quietly observing, making space, and letting the day be what it already is. But I will sit with you and help guide the session so don’t fret!
What you’re left with isn’t just photographs, but a memory of a beautiful day at home. A way to slow time when it feels like it’s moving too fast. A perfectly imperfect retelling of real life, captured honestly and with care.
a day in the life sessions
At the heart of it all, photography is about trust, comfort, and empathy. That’s what I bring to every session, every image, and every family.

Make it stand out with film & Super 8
Pairing this your session with 35mm film and Super 8 adds a layer of nostalgia and warmth. The grain, color tones, and natural imperfections of film bring a classic, vintage feel that enhances the emotional depth of the photographs and footage. This combination not only preserves memories but also evokes the charm of bygone eras.
