I’m a lifestyle and natural light photographer based in Millbrae, serving families across the San Francisco Peninsula, from the historic homes of Burlingame to the garden estates of Palo Alto.
I specialize in family, newborn, and maternity sessions that are fun, guided, and designed to take the pressure off, especially for parents of young children. My approach is 80% real interaction and 20% soft guidance, resulting in photographs that reflect your genuine connection rather than a performance.
How a well-led approach shapes your photo experience
Hello, Parents!
Working with the right photographer changes how the entire experience feels. When you feel comfortable and supported, you don’t have to manage the moment or worry about how your kids behave. From our first conversation to your final gallery, my approach is calm, thoughtful, and well-led. I use simple prompts so your family can move easily and connect naturally, letting real moments unfold without pressure.
Because Parents, you deserve to be in the frame.
Relaxed. Radiant. Fully present.

Motherhood changed everything for me. It opened a more nurturing part of my life and deepened my desire to capture the fleeting milestones of my baby boy. On weekends, you’ll find us strolling through Downtown Burlingame, stopping for pastries at Maison Alyzée, playing at the Washington Park playground, or watching the Caltrains roll through the Burlingame Station. We love slow mornings at the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo.

I grew up in a close knit family of five in San Francisco, right between an older sister and a younger brother. Family has always been at the center of my life.
Some of my favorite childhood memories are Sunday dim sum in Millbrae, driving past the holiday lights on Eucalyptus Avenue San Carlos, visiting Filoli in Woodside, and spending afternoons shopping at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto.

I was born and raised in San Francisco and have always loved everything the Bay Area offers. From scenic photo locations to local food and family friendly spots, I know the hidden gems and enjoy sharing them with my clients, from mint mojitos at Philz Coffee, tacos at Taqueria Pancho Villa, 66% dark chocolate chip cookies from Antoine's Cookie Shop, date nights at Sushi Maruyama, ribeyes from Pape Meat Company, and apple pies from Copenhagen Bakery & Cafe.

how I want my clients to feel
Like spending time with a trusted photographer friend who their kids love. Easy, relaxed, fun, and fully taken care of from start to finish.
I meet children where they are. Energetic preschoolers. Thoughtful toddlers. Newborns who need time. I create space for kids to be themselves while still capturing meaningful moments.
I take the lead so you don't have to manage the moment, even when toddlers bring big energy to Junipero Serra Park.
I watch closely and anticipate moments as they unfold. A sibling checking in. A shared laugh. A quiet pause. I capture connection before it passes.
I work intentionally to capture deep heart in less time than you think, a major benefit for busy families in Burlingame 94010 and Palo Alto 94301.
I offer clear direction that feels comfortable and natural. A balance of lightly guided and in the moment images that help people relax and feel good in front of the camera.
I find beauty in the ordinary, whether in your own nursery or a local neighborhood path in the Easton Addition.
