I’ve always believed that family photographs are more than just images; they are pieces of your life frozen in time. For me, film photography is the purest way to preserve those moments—tangible, imperfect, and timeless. My passion for film has shaped the way I approach family photography, allowing me to create artistic, authentic images that reflect the beauty of connection.

Why Film Photography?

There’s something magical about film. It forces you to slow down, to be intentional. In a digital age where thousands of photos are snapped and forgotten, film reminds us that each frame is precious. The subtle grain, soft tones, and rich textures of film photography evoke a sense of nostalgia that digital images often can’t replicate.

When I photograph families, my goal isn’t to create a perfectly posed picture. Instead, I want to document who you are together. Whether it’s the way your child holds your hand, a quiet embrace, the unfiltered laughter during an unexpected moment, or even the pouty faces from a little one, film allows me to capture those fleeting interactions with artistry and sincerity.

Photographing Families in Marin County

Marin County provides the perfect backdrop for family photography. The rolling hills, golden light, and rugged coastline offer an organic, timeless setting that complements my film work. Whether we’re wandering through open fields, exploring a quiet beach, or nestled in the comfort of your home, my focus is always on the connection you share as a family. While we’re lucky to live in a place with so much natural beauty, at home sessions are always some of my favorites. The familiarity often brings out the best in kids.

Authentic Connection Over Perfection

I believe family photography should feel real. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and free of pressure. You don’t have to worry about everyone looking at the camera or smiling on cue. The most beautiful images often come from letting go and being fully present. It’s in those candid moments—an embrace, a glance, or a burst of laughter—that true connection shines through.

When you look back on these photos, I want you to feel something. I want you to remember how your child’s small hand felt in yours or the warmth of the sunlight as it wrapped around your family.

Preserving What Matters

At its core, my aim is to create art that reflects love, connection, and authenticity. I truly feel passionate about giving you images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Let’s step away from the idea of “perfect photos” and instead celebrate the beauty of your family as it is—unfiltered, connected, and real. Because those are the moments that matter most.
