Absolutely! I love to capture some photos of your whole family including fur babies. I only ask that you take responsibility for your pet around young children and newborns.

My recommendation is to wear what makes you feel most comfortable and confident since that will help capture fun, joyful moments in our photos. Whether you are keeping it casual or dressing up, make sure that you feel comfortable in whatever you’re wearing. Aim to coordinate your outfits rather than match completely. If you would like more styling advice or guidance, just ask!

For outdoor sessions, I prefer to shoot an hour before sunset when the light is best and most flattering. The light is typically too harsh mid day. However, I can be flexible and shoot earlier in the day if that’s too late. We’ll find a location with great shade and backdrop. 
For indoor sessions, I prefer late morning, because that is when homes are usually lit up the best.

We’ll work together to find the best setting for your session—whether that’s an in-home shoot or one of the many beautiful outdoor spots across San Francisco, the Peninsula, or San Mateo County.
I’m happy to recommend my favorite local gems or explore a new location that reflects your family’s style. 
For newborn sessions, we’ll always shoot in the comfort of your home, using the areas with the best natural light to guide our setup.


4. Where will my session be held?

Frequently Asked Questions

Family sessions are meant to be relaxed, playful, and full of movement—I don’t expect children to sit still or pose perfectly. Instead, we focus on fun, laughter, and genuine connection, capturing your child just as they are. Some of the best photos happen when kids are running, exploring, or even being a little silly! 
I will gently guide the session, encouraging natural moments without ever asking your child to do anything they’re not comfortable with. 
To help things go smoothly, be sure your little one is well-rested and has had some snacks and water; feel free to bring dry, non-messy snacks for quick breaks. Letting your child know ahead of time that a friendly photographer will be joining helps them feel more at ease from the start.

As the photographer, I retain the rights to the images, but you’re welcome to purchase full copyrights for an additional $200. I rely on sharing my work to grow my business, and this fee helps offset marketing costs. That said, I’m always thoughtful and respectful in how I showcase your family’s love and connection—your privacy is a top priority.

I monitor the weather forecast and will reach out if it is clear there will be rain or an extreme weather event. I also completely understand if you need to reschedule because of illness or an emergency—it's always better to have your session when everyone’s feeling their best! We’ll find a new date that works for you, usually within a day or a few weeks.




9. What is your reschedule policy?

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Go Back

I typically recommend scheduling maternity sessions between 30–35 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round and you’re still comfortable enough to move with ease. However, every pregnancy is unique, and I’m happy to photograph you at any stage during your second or third trimester. As long as your baby is still inside, it’s never too late to document this special time.

I recommend scheduling newborn sessions within the first 5–15 days, when babies are still extra sleepy and their features are fresh. That said, I’m happy to photograph babies at any age during their first few months—every stage is beautiful and worth capturing. When booking, we’ll choose a tentative date about 7–10 days after your due date, and adjust once your baby arrives. I’m flexible and always leave room in my calendar for these special sessions.

Absolutely! Headshots are a popular add-on and can be included for an additional $200 per person. We’ll spend about 15 extra minutes capturing 7+ fully edited images using natural backdrops at our session location. I don’t bring a backdrop, but I’ll find great spots on-site that work beautifully.
