family photos that feel
like you
I’m an Irvine family photographer serving Orange County and Southern California. My sessions blend candid ease with an editorial eye—capturing subtle glances, big laughs, and quiet pauses. Sessions can take place along the Laguna Beach coast, at a local park, or right at home—always with a light touch so your photos feel natural and artful.
What to Wear Made Easy
Styling is part of the process. I help refine what you already own into elevated combinations that photograph beautifully against Southern California backdrops—connected, comfortable, and true to your family.
Think of our time together less as a photoshoot and more as an elevated family hangout. The result is a photo gallery of candid, editorial-inspired portraits that look effortless and live beautifully in albums, frames, and heirlooms.

Born and raised in Southern California, I bring a fresh take to lifestyle family photography. I live in Irvine, CA with my husband and son, and I know firsthand how important it is to capture the little moments that pass quickly. My background in graphic design shaped the way I see color, light, and storytelling—but becoming a mom made me want photos that felt real and unposed. When I couldn’t find them, I started creating them.
Now, almost 8 years later, I photograph families across Orange County and beyond. My sessions are laid-back and playful so you can enjoy time together while I document the story. If you’re looking for candid, elevated family photography in Irvine or Orange County, I’d love to create something for your family.
