Portraits | Maternity | Engagement | Family
Full portrait sessions begin at $650
Half sessions are $425 (weekdays only)
Each session includes planning guidance and a artistically curated and hand edited gallery. Sessions are photographed using a blend of digital and 35mm film, incorporated intuitively to when light and movement are just right. Galleries are a mix of crisp modern portraits and vintage nostalgia. If this style resonates with you, I'd love to create together.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Approach
​
My sessions are designed to feel relaxed and human, not performative or rushed. This is not about perfect behavior or matching outfits—it’s about presence, connection, and creating photographs that feel uniquely like your family. Timeless organic images will never go out of style, but trends do. The imagery we create will be colorful, candid and joyful. My goal is always to bring you back to these moments of connection again and again whether it is browsing your gallery form years ago or scheduling a new session. See you soon!
​
What to Expect
​
Sessions are guided gently, with plenty of space for things to unfold naturally. I’ll offer direction when it’s helpful and step back when it’s not—allowing real interactions to take the lead.
The result is a collection of images that feels cohesive, intentional, and deeply personal—photographs meant to be lived with, not just posted.​​​​​​​​​​​
Location & Travel
​​​​​​Based in Yucca Valley in the Joshua Tree area, I photograph sessions throughout Palm Springs and the surrounding desert. I’m also happy to travel for families who feel drawn to a particular place—whether that’s the coast, the mountains, or somewhere that simply feels like home.
Landscape matters. Light matters. Where you are becomes part of the story.

Let’s Connect​
If this all sounds like a good time, I’d love to work together.
Family photographs have a long life. My goal is to make images you’ll return to—year after year—as things shift, grow, and change.
FAQ
When do you recommend booking a family session?
Once per year at least, or when extended family is getting together. Childrens milestones are also a great occassion for photos.
Do you offer a client styling consult?
Your client portal includes different style guides with helpful pointers. I love to give advice so feel free to consult with me! It is all part of planning your dream session.
Do you recommend including family pets?
YES! I love to include fur babies. Please do let me know so that I can be sure the location choose allows animals.
How soon will I receive the gallery?
Typical delivery is 14-25 days. Processing the film and composing the gallery just right takes time. Rush delivery is available for an extra charge.
How far ahead do I need to book my session?
I typically book out a month or more ahead of time. However, I take last minute clients frequently. Do not hesitate to call me with less notice.
Can I order prints?
You get full print rights. You can order prints, canvases, greeting cards and other photo art directly from the gallery. You can also order from wherever you choose.
