Good to know: Prices are for the session itself. Prefer the studio? In-studio sessions are +$150 for any session. Some parks and venues charge a permit fee; I handle the permit, and any fee is added to your invoice.

What sets us
apart

Permits handled

Many parks and public spaces require a photography permit. I get the proper permits ahead of time, so no one shows up halfway through to shut your session down. If a location charges a fee, it’s added to your invoice.

Relaxed, never stiff

No rigid lineups or forced smiles. I give gentle direction and simple prompts, then let you be yourselves. That’s where the real photos happen.

Never rushed

Kids need breaks. Dogs get distracted. We go at your pace and take the time it takes to get photos you’ll love.

There for you

From your first message to your final gallery, you work with me directly: picking a location, planning outfits, and real answers whenever you need them.

Fluent in ASL

I'm a CODA (child of Deaf adults) and fluent in American Sign Language, so Deaf families are welcome with no interpreter needed. I'm also experienced working with children with special needs.

Common questions

Things people
often ask

Where do you shoot?

In my studio in Rancho Cucamonga, or on location anywhere from the foothills to the beach: parks, open fields, urban spots, and anywhere with good light. I can suggest locations based on your session type and vibe, or we can use a spot that means something to your family.

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for fall and holiday sessions which fill up fast. For headshots, I can often accommodate 1–2 weeks out.

What happens after the shoot?

You'll get a sneak peek within 24 hours — a few hand-edited favorites to hold you over. Your full gallery arrives within 2 weeks via a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes — a deposit secures your date and the remainder is due before your gallery is delivered. Reach out and we can figure out something that works for you.

What should we wear?

I send every client a detailed what-to-wear guide after booking. The short version: coordinate without matching, avoid busy patterns, and dress for the vibe you want in the photos.
