We had one person in this family moving across the country, and it was the perfect excuse to get everyone together. Grandparents, siblings, a baby—the whole crew. We did an extended session outdoors in San Francisco, then followed it up with a studio shoot and a kid’s portrait session. (Yes, you get a discount when you book more than one!) I made sure to photograph all the different combinations of people—from multi-generational portraits to those little one-on-one moments that mean so much. These kinds of sessions are always such a joyful way to celebrate your people before life scatters everyone again.

As a mom and newborn photographer, I’ll be honest—there’s something incredibly special about photographing a family in their own home. These in-home newborn photos in San Francisco were taken just days after this sweet baby came home—and just a few weeks before the family moved out of this apartment. Life moves quickly, especially in a city like San Francisco, but your photos can freeze this exact moment: the cozy corners, the nursery you spent months on, the first place you rocked your baby to sleep. You won’t live here forever, but you’ll always have this memory captured beautifully.

This sweet studio session is a perfect example of how much personality we can capture in just 25 minutes. They added a 10-minute kids portrait so we could get outfit variety and plenty of solo shots of their toddler—and the results are so full of joy.

One of my favorite things about being a maternity photographer is capturing the joy of growing families. This studio session was full of laughter, sweet moments, and big sibling love. A short, effortless session means no stress—just timeless, beautiful photos. Perfect for celebrating this special stage before baby arrives!

Ocean Beach is hands-down one of my favorite spots for family and maternity photos! I love capturing families in the dreamy dunes and tall grasses before ending the session with some fun on the shore. Whether it’s foggy or sunny, this place is pure magic—but heads up, it can get cold and windy! Let’s make some coastal magic together!
