Wild One Cake Smash – Boys 1st Birthday

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.

How fast did this year go for you too?

This family session was from last year, and I am finally catching up on sharing it. Looking back at these photos is such a reminder of why parents choose to do this again and again. Kids grow, dynamics shift, and before you know it, everything feels different.

If it has been a while since your last family photos, this is your gentle nudge. You never regret having them. You only regret waiting.
