An hour is not very long, in the context of a busy day hustling from school, errands, appointments, and activity to activity. But it’s long enough to step out of the week, find a spot in nature, and just be a family together.

I can’t guarantee that everyone looks at the camera at the same time (although we always end up with those perfect photos for your holiday cards). It’s time for just the bunch of you together, letting things unfold exactly the way they do when young kids are involved.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the quiet part of this work. It’s the realization that we don’t have to be orchestrating anything, and that we’re just making room for an hour where nothing has to be controlled. Being together is the whole point.

If your days are full of noise and half finished sentences and never quite enough sleep, consider this your reminder: you don’t need calm to make something beautiful. You need an hour, and each other. Trust the chaos and the beauty that can emerge from it.

Also, this session feature is probably going to be a two-parter. There’s just too many sweet images from this beautiful family. 💕

Sometimes playing a game of hide and seek in the garden is all you need for the best kid-led family portraits. 🌻

I’m sharing a few images from this collaborative session for WillowgroveDavis inclusive housing campaign.

This one has turned into such a special community project. Getting to spend time with families in some iconic Davis locations has made it one of my favorite collaborations this season.

So grateful to be involved in opportunities like this one in our community!

Sometimes when I finish a session, it feels like we just spent an hour playing and running around, and I find myself wondering, did I catch the moment that mattered? Was all that boundless energy actually reflected back on the film rolling through my camera?

And then there’s the moment I see the scans, and I realize there’s nothing more important I could’ve been doing than letting these amazing kids just be themselves with their grandmother. Watching them play, spend time together, and live inside one small moment is what it’s all about.

This is a little bit of film for from a fun cousins session at the flower farm. Scans came back perfect, as always Rewind Film Lab

Can’t wait to be back at this spot next summer. 🌸

If this is your vibe, check out next month’s Petite Sessions Groluv Flower Farm in Elk Grove on Sunday, September 20 (link in bio).

Kinda chic to let your family photos look like your actual family.

Not the “everyone-in-a-line-smiling-at-the-same-time” kind. The real kind featuring messy hair, upside-down toddlers, the dog getting her moment, dad in the background walking off because someone was hangry and needed a snack.

Save this for your next session as permission to:

🐾 bring the dog
👗 trust your photographer with the outfits (yup I give you a helpful guide!)
🌅 stay out past bedtime for the most amazing golden light
🤸 Play, and let me catch it

My Fall calendar is now open for Davis, Sacramento and Northern California families.

I’m your photographer if you want a photo session that gives you real time to connect together, documented as it happens, and the space to just be yourselves.

If you want timeless images that will be family heirlooms one day, and artwork on your walls that will remind you of how little they once were.
