I truly cherish getting to love on clients who quickly become new friends. It's a joy to celebrate these milestones & moments with the sweet families who trust me to tell their story. I was absolutely loving photographing this sweet little boy, his big brown eyes, and this adoring family with arms wrapped around each other. We chose a beautiful hidden gem right here in the Bay Area on top of a mountain, right at sunset. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful spot with so many gorgeous photo locations for timeless family photos!

There is no scene quite as iconic as the beautiful rolling golden hills of Northern California. This is one of my most requested locations for families in the Bay Area. This location is conveniently located in Palo Alto and easy to access. One advantage is that it also doesn’t require a permit!
