Your family’s story is told in the way you laugh together, show affection, and share everyday moments. I create space for genuine connection to unfold — through play and presence — and document your story with authenticity and heart.
Capturing the warmth, connection, and everyday magic of your family
Maternity

Family
Every stage of parenthood brings its own joys and changes — from the first flutters of pregnancy to newborn snuggles, from playful moments with your children to the quiet in-between. These fleeting days go by faster than we expect — and I’m here to help you hold onto them with images that reflect the love, connections, and spirit of your family.
Preserve The Moments That Tell Your Family's Story
A Photographer Who Honors Your Family’s Natural Rhythms
Your family’s story is always evolving, and I’m here to help you preserve it through meaningful, connected images. With over 15 years in early childhood special education and 7 years as a Bay Area family photographer, I bring a patient, relationship-based approach to every session.
I tune into your family’s natural rhythms—especially your children’s—so everyone can feel relaxed, seen, and free to be themselves. Whether we’re capturing newborn snuggles, the glow of pregnancy, or playful moments with your children, I create space for genuine connection to unfold naturally.
By attuning to the unique dynamics of each family, I document the honest, in-between moments—the warmth, laughter, and quiet connections that tell your story. My goal is to create images that feel as real and meaningful as the memories themselves.

Making Photo Sessions Both meaningful and fun
Play and connection reveal genuine emotions and foster natural moments that reflect your family's unique story. With a background in special education and years of experience as a Bay Area family photographer, I’ve seen how weaving playful elements and space for authentic interaction into sessions sparks joy and effortless connections.

Together, we’ll focus on real connections — turning these meaningful moments into lasting memories you’ll treasure.
All Families Welcome
In each session, I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable and celebrated — just as you are. Whatever your background or journey, it’s an honor to document your family’s story with care.

Thoughtful insights and inspiration for documenting connected, heartfelt moments with your family.
“We love Sara! We just had our 5th family photo session with her. She’s never rushed us during our session and always takes the time to capture the right moment. She’s documented both my kids since they were less than 48 hours old, and now they’re 4 and 19 months. The both love her! We’ll continue to have Sara document our family as my kids continue to grow.”

“Sara worked so well with my children to make sure they felt comfortable and were having fun.”
“She even encouraged them to participate in choosing where we’d take photos and what activities they would engage in. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and I’m so glad I was able to work with Sara to capture these memories!”
