EXPERIENCE
01.
YOU + ME
What can you expect from a session with me? First of all, you can expect timely emails and great communication from me. I won't leave you hanging! During the session, you can expect me to roll with the mood of the baby and leave plenty of time for nursing and diaper changes. I am a mom so I know how it feels to come home with a brand new baby. I am gentle with you and my energy is soft and open!
You can expect the session to be pretty speedy and efficient! I don't like to waste family time and I've got this down to a science now. I will guide you throughout the session so you are never left to feel awkward or uncomfortable.
I genuinely love taking photos and meeting new people, but snuggling the babies is my absolute favorite!

YOUR QUESTIONS
when should we book a session?
For newborn sessions, feel free to book at any point during your pregnancy- the session is held with your due date. For maternity sessions, the ideal timeframe for a session is between 32-38 weeks. My weekend dates and Fall dates book up fairly quickly, so it's been to plan accordingly if you are looking for those spots.
what should we wear?
I suggest sticking to neutral colors like cream, grey, blue, hunter, brown. Avoid hot pink, bright reds, and oranges. Newborn babies can be in a swaddles or a little onesie- whatever fits their body the best. Adults look the best in solid tops, while kids can wear a little pattern.
what if we are awkward in pictures?
I get this question all the time! Do not stress. I can make even the most awkward person feel at ease. I'm not going to stare at you and demand you say 'cheese!' I will have you walk and hold hands, laugh at each other, play with your kids, and a million other fun activities to make you look like natural models.
what if we live in the east or South Bay?
If I can accommodate your location in my schedule, I am happy to do it! There is $150 travel fee for locations outside of the North Bay or San Francisco city limits.
