Because I care and I want the best for you.

Check out my review page to hear what my clients have said about their experience.

I have been a photographer for 20 years and with that comes the knowledge and experience to handle all kinds of situations and capture your family moments in the best way possible. Every photographer has a different business model and overhead to stay in business. Being based and having a studio in Marin means paying the expensive rent and cost of having a business. Some photographers do it as a hobby/ side gig, while others, like me, work on this business full time as the only source of income for my family. Which also means I'm dedicated to giving you the best experience.  I have created a wide variety of packages to accommodate most budget. I recommend my mini sessions if you're looking for a budget friendly photo session.

No time like the present! Kids grow up so quickly, especially on their first years. I recommend doing a session for every occasions and milestones: maternity, fresh 48 (first days at the hospital), newborn, crawling, sitting, holidays, family visiting, vacations (I'm available to travel), birthdays, portraits with favorite nanny, portraits with best friends, etc.

It is best to plan ahead. I would recommend contacting me 2 months prior to your due date, so we can plan ahead and perhaps chat about combining maternity, fresh48, and newborn session to get the most out of this magical moments. Ideally, newborn session is scheduled for 1 week after your due date. I understand that child birth is unpredictable, so I will keep my schedule fairly open in the days surrounding your booking date in case we need to re-schedule.

I understand that life happens and sometimes you realized you need to book a session last minute (like I did with my son). When my schedule allows, I might be able to accommodate last minute session request. And yes, I can create beautiful portraits at whatever age your baby is.

Studio Newborn session includes props, so all you need to bring with your baby are clean diaper, pacifier, and a bottle of milk. Happy to discuss in more details. You will also get a prep instructions prior to your session.

I will have most of the props you see on the website, but I do rotate props from time to time so some may not be available at the time of your session. I suggest emailing me your color preference and which favorite props you want to have at your newborn session so I can prepare to have them ready.

Because I'm perfectly kid sized. :)

Session fee varies depending on the session. Please check my portfolio section for more details. This fee covers the time and talent of the photographer. It does not include any digital images or prints. This fee is due at the time of booking.

Yes, my studio is located on 1890 Bryant St #307. San Francisco, near Tartine Manufactory. Appointments only. I also love sessions on location: park, beach, mountain, or your home. Happy to travel to Marin, Berkeley, Oakland, Pacifica, Palo Alto, or surrounding areas. I sometimes hold limited mini sessions at an indoor playground. Contact me if you would like to host a photo session at your favorite playspace.

Lifestyle session is a documentary style session where we capture the moments and connections that happen naturally without the use of props and poses.

Avoid clothing with logos, cartoon characters, or bold text/ graphic as they can be distracting. We want the focus of the photos to be you and the connection you have with your family. Happy to chat more in details and help you with your clothing choices. You will also get prep instructions prior to your session.

Do not worry. I have photographed babies/ kids/ pets with varying personalities and moods and we always get beautiful images no matter what. The best thing to do is to relax and trust that we will capture beautiful moments.

Digital images are digital copy of photos that you will download and keep in your computer or phone.

Yes, I offer mini portraits all year long at my studio.
