What kind of photographer are you?

I am a photographer in Yuba City, CA specializing in maternity, newborn, cake smash and family photography. My photography could be described as authentic, timeless, and colorful with a splash of fun! I strive to capture raw emotion whether it’s with the love of your life, or your little mini me’s. I create memories that will shower the walls of your home with love and laughter.

Where will my session take place?

I am an on-location photographer and have many beautiful locations up my sleeve. Depending on your desire for a more natural or urban setting, I’ve got you covered. Together we can discuss your vision and select the perfect location. Outdoor sessions typically take place about 1 hour to 1 ½ hour prior to sunset. Newborn and cake smash sessions take place in my in-home studio.

What should we wear?

Whatever you feel most comfortable in! I have a customized styling service that’s unique just for you! After answering a few questions (number of people. Clothing sizes, color pallet, etc) within just a few clicks you can have photographer-approved outfits right in front of you. Love what you see? Well, you can order directly from there, or simply use the ideas as inspiration to pull your own things from your closet.

When should I have my newborn session?

Newborn photography is best when done in the first few weeks of life. This is how we get those cute curled-up sleeping poses. If you’re already past that, don’t stress! I still have ways to get those beautiful images you’ve been longing for. Since I only take a limited number of newborn clients each month, it’s best to book early. I recommend as you enter your third trimester.

When will I receive my digital images?

One of the things my clients love about me most is my quick turnaround. About one week after your session we will set up your Gallery Reveal. This is where we will sit down and design your wall art and select the images that will suit your home and style best.

Are there any additional costs?

How do you choose which images go in my gallery?

I go through each image of your session and choose those that best represent you and your family as well as me as an artist with my known vibrant and colorful look. Duplicates and unusable images will instantly be removed. I will put all of the images in your gallery, so from there you can pick your favorites to cherish for years to come!

09 / 11

Do you offer Mini Sessions?

Typically the only mini session I offer is a studio Christmas Mini Session. This is my little thank you to my clients throughout the year.

How far out are you booked?

For weekend dates, I usually book out about 2-3 months in advance. I encourage newborn inquiries to contact me while you're still pregnant (as you enter your third trimester). If you have already delivered, please still reach out, as I may be able to fit you in within a few weeks. I recommend maternity sessions between 30-36 weeks so that you are more comfortable during your session, and you'll have a nice round bump for us to photograph!
