Studio Newborn Session

Packages start at $950

Expecting a baby is the most special time in your life and I hope you are enjoying each and every moment. As an experienced newborn photographer, I suggest that you schedule your baby session early on in your pregnancy to secure your date. No worries if you deliver early or late since the date can be adjusted after the baby is born. In terms of timing for the newborn session, I recommend under two weeks ( 7 to 20 days old)  as the best time frame for newborn portraits – before the baby acne and the newborn baby fussiness set in. If you are in love with the sleeping newborn babies in baskets and in darling poses, 8-12 days is best. 

All newborn sessions are held in my home studio in West San Jose. Newborn photo sessions come with a full use of all my baby props and accessories and you can choose your favorite colors and props for your session. 

In-home Lifestyle Newborn Session

Packages start at $1150

Lifestyle photo sessions take place in the comfort of your own home.  It’s a great way to capture natural moments of your family connecting with your new little one.  There are no props or newborn posing used during these sessions. There will be lots of natural cuddling and loving your new addition! Parents and siblings (pets too!) are included in these photographs.

These sessions last 1 or 1.5 hours and we will take plenty of breaks for diaper changes and feedings and don't worry if your baby stay awake while the session!  We will plan your session according to your preferences!  

Maternity Session

Packages start at $650

These sessions not only capture the physical changes but also highlight the emotional connection between the mother and her unborn child. Every kick, every flutter, and the radiant glow are all preserved in a series of stunning images that tell a story of love and anticipation.

I provide professional guidance throughout the photoshoot, ensuring that moms-to-be feel comfortable, confident, and truly themselves in front of the camera. From wardrobe selection to posing techniques, my aim is to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, allowing the true essence of the mother's beauty to shine through.

The best time for a maternity photoshoot is typically between 28 and 34 weeks, when your baby bump is beautifully rounded but before you enter the final stretch of pregnancy. However, every woman is unique, and we tailor our sessions to your individual needs and preferences.

Celebrate this incredible chapter of your life with a maternity photoshoot that beautifully captures the essence of motherhood. Contact me to schedule your session and let's create memories that will last a lifetime.

Family Session

Packages start at $650

Family photography goes beyond just taking pictures; it's about freezing a moment in time, creating a visual legacy that will be cherished for generations. It's the laughter, the love, the little expressions, and the shared experiences that define your family's journey.

My approach to family photography is all about capturing the genuine connections and emotions that bind your family together. Whether it's the playful laughter of children, the shared glances between parents, or the warmth of family gatherings, each photograph is a testament to the unique bonds that make your family special.

I believe in creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every family I work with. Before our session, we'll discuss your preferences, the personalities of your family members, and any specific moments or themes you'd like to highlight. This ensures that each session is personalized, reflecting the true essence of your family. I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere during our sessions, allowing your family to be themselves while I work behind the lens. My goal is to make the process enjoyable and stress-free, ensuring that the genuine moments shine through in the final images.

These sessions take place 1-2 hours before sunset for optimal light. We discuss style and family portrait clothing ideas for the best family photos.  I will also suggest locations depending on your favorite backgrounds.

Investing in family photography is an investment in memories. As time passes and families grow, these photographs become priceless treasures that transport you back to the moments that shaped your family's journey. Let's work together to capture the beauty of your family's story, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Contact me to schedule your family photography session and let's start telling your unique story through the lens!

Cake Smash Session

Packages start at $950

Cake smash sessions are such a fun way to celebrate your baby's first birthday with beautiful portraits that you'll cherish for years to come! Your child's session will include a custom design setup that we plan together! I create my setups with real props so I DO NOT USE printed cake smash theme backdrops! Also, I provide cake smash outfits for your baby, and family portraits are optional as well! We look forward to capturing some adorable and messy moments with your little one!


Baby Child Milestone Session

Packages start at $650

Babies grow and change so much and it all goes by too fast. All of a sudden they are rolling over, sitting up, crawling, pulling themselves up, and then they start taking their first steps. As a parent, all you want to do is freeze time — if only for a moment. 

For this reason, many people choose to have professional photos taken to celebrate  some of these milestones throughout their baby’s first year. So you always have photographs to look back on to remember each of these precious stages. 

Most major milestones occur at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year. But every baby is different and milestone sessions don’t need to happen at those ages. We plan their milestone sessions around their development stages — when they start rolling over, sitting up, pulling themselves up, or even taking their first steps — documenting these special stages of your baby’s first year. 

Milestone photo sessions can be just portraits of your baby or include the whole family. It’s totally up to you. If the whole family wants to be involved, we’ll do a variety of portraits with each family member holding or interacting with your baby. And then capture photos of just your baby showing off their newest milestone! 

Headshot Session

Packages start at $350

Headshot sessions take place at my studio located in West San Jose, 95130.

To prepare for the session, I suggest you wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Solid colors tend to work best as they do not distract from your face, but feel free to bring a couple of outfit changes if you wish.

During the session, I will work with you to find the best poses and expressions to showcase your personality and professionalism. We will take a variety of shots with different backgrounds and lighting to give you a range of options to choose from.
