CALIFORNIA portrait sessions
Timeless photos
you'll treasure for a lifetime
Life moves quickly, and there's something so special about having photographs that bring you right back to the moments you never want to forget.
Whether we're celebrating a graduation, growing family, or simply documenting this season of life, my hope is to create a relaxed, meaningful experience that feels true to you — leaving you with photographs to look back on, love, and pass down for generations.

As your California portrait photographer, I'm dedicated to
Capture genuine connection, real emotion & all the little in-between moments
The sweetest photographs are often the ones that happen naturally. My approach is to create a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere where you can simply be together, have fun, and enjoy this season of life. With a little gentle guidance and plenty of room to be yourselves, we'll create images that feel like you — full of love, laughter, and the little moments you'll want to remember forever.

Portrait sessions in California for each chapter of life
From the pure joy excitement of the fresh beginnings as you become newly engaged to the build up of the big wedding day where you make it officially official!
All the way to the quiet anticipation of maternity to the Christmas card photos chasing your happy little kiddos around. These sessions are about celebrating every season of your story.
I’ll capture the real, the tender, and the playful, so you can look back and see not just how life looked, but how it felt.
Couple session
For the newly engaged couples (or the one that's planning on proposing to their best friend) - this one's for you! The full hour gives you a chance to really get comfy, relaxed, & even have time for an outfit change (some like to do 1 casual & 1 dressier outfit). This also allows time for the sun to set - giving you a good variety of both golden hour (romantic, whimsy vibes) and blue hour (moodier, dreamier vibes). Lots of variety & lots of fun!
What's included
+ 1 hour session on outdoor location
+ Styling advice + location recommendations
+ Outfit change & lighting variety
+ Online gallery for viewing, sharing, & downloading
+ 70+ high resolution, professionally edited images
+ Full gallery delivered within 3 weeks
+ $100 discount for returning clients
Investment
$600
This is the price for a family session including at least 70 high-resolution images. Travel fees are applied to sessions further than a 1 hour drive time from Clovis, CA. Studio session fee is $50.
Maternity session
Growing bellies & growing families are truly the sweetest sessions of them all. I'm totally flexible with how much or how little you're feeling up to - I started this package out with only 35 minutes because some mamas just don't want to be taking photos for much longer than that (I can relate!). But if you'd like an outfit change or just a longer, more creative session (to maybe add in other kids, too) - then let me know & we can definitely extend this to a full hour for $600 total & 70+ photos delivered.
What's included
+ 35 minute session on outdoor location
+ Styling advice + location recommendations
+ Online gallery for viewing, sharing, & downloading
+ 50+ high resolution, professionally edited images
+ Full gallery delivered within 3 weeks
+ $100 discount for returning clients
+ Rec to do these around 7 months pregnant
Investment
$450
This is the price for a maternity session including at least 50 high-resolution images. Travel fees are applied to sessions further than a 1 hour drive time from Clovis, CA. Studio session fee is $50. This session may be extended to a full hour for $600 total & 70+ photo delivered.
Senior Portraits
You've put in the hard work & now it's time to celebrate! My personal favorite way to get the most out of your time & money for these photos is to split up your 40 minute session between two 20 minute locations - one being your school campus (cap.& gown vibes) & the other being a pretty sunset spot where you can switch outfits & pop the champagne.
+ 40 minute session (split between 2 locations)
+ Outfit change between locations

+ Full gallery delivered within 3 weeks

$500
This is the price for a senior portrait session split between 2 locations & including at least 50 high-resolution images. Travel fees are applied to sessions further than a 1 hour drive time from Clovis, CA. Studio session fee is $50.
Family session
Studies show that children who grow up with photos of themselves hanging on their home's walls have higher self esteem than children who don't have that - and honestly, I get it. There's nothing better than seeing those sweet prints every day & being reminded of the ones you love most! These sessions are flexible - some families don't expect their kiddos (or dogs) to be interested for longer than 35 minutes (ahem, mine included), but others would prefer the full hour ($600 total & 70+ images delivered) to get more creative or to add in a few extended family members (up to 8 total). However you wish to use your time, I'm here for it.
Come the fall season season, I offer limited mini sessions (25 mins for $350) - previous clients are added to the email list that gets first dibs. All remaining spots are released on my instagram.

4. Editing & delivery
I edit all images with love & care. Usually within 72 hours I'm sending you a sneak peek (I say "usually" because life with a toddler can sometimes be unpredictable, but I haven't missed this yet). After that, then I'm just as eager as you are to get your photos back to you within 3 weeks via online gallery where you can see and download your images.
The gallery will also feature a print shop, offering a range of items featuring your images, including prints, albums, frames, and more!

After your session, I'll add you to my email list - this is where I'll start releasing info on family mini sessions come the fall season (so you have the details before they're released to the public) & can snag a spot for your Christmas cards! (The email list won't be used for anything else).
This is my favorite way to stay in touch (other than following you on insta, of course) & to continue walking along side you as you & your family grow!
