Pick your Shoot Date:
I recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks out to allow time for styling.
Contact me to reserve your date!
Location + Styling:
I know which places around LA are best during specific times of year (due to light and tide patterns). I will also help to style your family for your chosen location.
Shoot Day:
I will direct and guide you and ask you to hug, kiss, and play with your family and truly enjoy the time without always looking at the camera and worrying about how kids may be behaving.
Photos:
Your full gallery of more than 40 hand-edited high resolution images will be delivered in a private online gallery within 3 weeks.
Investment
I can’t wait to help you plan your perfect session! I take a lot of time to scout gorgeous locations all over Los Angeles and know they look during different times of year, how the light falls, and whether they are accessible due to tide patterns. Clients often book with me months in advance to get their dream location at the perfect time.

Frequently Asked Questions
I only shoot 1-2 hours before sunset or at sunrise for that beautiful light. If you have young kids who go to bed early, keep in mind that sunset times are much earlier in in the Fall and Winter. However parents are always amazed how long kids can last in sessions past their bedtime especially when the are having fun on the beach! Or consider a sunrise session - you will love greeting the sun to start your day.
Unfortunately I do not offer shorter sessions because I put so much time an effort into getting to know my families, planning and executing your session. Babies and toddlers easily last a full session (1-1.5 hrs) because they do not need to look at the camera the whole time. They will be engaged playing or snuggling with you and interacting with nature.
I share my guidelines of what photographs well, give color scheme suggestions for you and your location, suggest my favorite retailers for photoshoots, and finally provide access to an online styling tool to help style your whole family. You also get access to my client closet to try on and borrow free of charge certain mom’s and kids’ outfits.
