Family Spotlights.

Six to ten frames from each session. The ones that tell you how it went.

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

Not the whole gallery, just the highlights. Enough of each afternoon to see how I shoot, how the kids actually behaved, and what yours could look like. These are the parts I’d show you first.

Back to family sessions

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. You don’t need to know what to do with your hands. And you definitely don’t need everyone to behave for an hour.

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 one extra hour.

The Picture Book + another chapter · 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.


Ready to put your family in the next one?

You made it all the way down. Respect.
