Family Spotlights.

Five families, just as they are together.

Real sessions in Orange County and Los Angeles. Not styled shoots.

Six to ten highlights from each session’s full gallery. Enough to see how each family played, connected, and settled in, and what yours could look like.

The Leon family.

Outdoor family session.

The Picture Book · William R. Mason Regional Park, Irvine

We are big fans of Daniel! Daniel brought energy to the day and encouraged fun. If you love a warm, candid family photo, Daniel will capture it.

The Palladino family.

In-home family session.

The Picture Book · At home in Irvine

Two kids under two, a toddler who wants to run around, a scared dog who won’t look at the camera, and everything in between. And he still got the shot.

Seeing your family in this yet?

You don’t need kids who love photos, or grown-ups who know what to do with their hands. I guide you the whole way, we make a few classics, and there’s plenty of room for play and connection. Shy, wild, or attached to your leg: all welcome.

The Picture Book $650

About an hour · Up to six people, then $30 for each additional person · Full curated gallery, typically 75+ edited photographs

The Sondhi family.

Outdoor family session.

Boys who climb, run, and never stand still, and the family portrait still happens.


The Slemmons family.

Outdoor family session, with an extra hour.

The Picture Book + Add Another Chapter, an optional extra hour for $200 · Jeffrey Open Space Trail, Irvine

He was thoughtful in how he helped me craft the day for our family photo shoot, and provided excellent options for locations.

The Johnson family.

Fall mother and daughter session.

The Picture Book · Yorba Regional Park, Anaheim

Just the two of them, one blanket, and a lot of fall leaves. Her daughter was in her happy place.
