Who says Christmas photos have to be serious?

This family showed up in red, brought the energy, and leaned fully into the fun. The funny poses, the laughs, and the personalities are exactly what made this session feel so them. These are the photos you smile at every time you walk by them.
Do your headshots actually feel like you?

This one was done at Balboa in the fog, and honestly, it worked perfectly. Soft light, calm energy, and nothing distracting. A great reminder that headshots do not have to be stiff or overly polished to feel professional.
2025 looked like:
• 152 sessions
• New faces, familiar faces
• More gratitude than I can fit here
This work continues to surprise me. I’m thankful for the trust, the connection, and the moments I was honored to document this year. If you were part of it, thank you.
Do you ever realize how much changes in just one year?

This was their session from last year, and looking back at these candid moments is such a reminder of why yearly photos matter. You don’t notice the little changes day to day, but you feel them when you see them like this.
Do you ever wish you had more photos of your family just being together?
No milestones needed, just real connection and time slowing down for a moment.
