My approach to photography has always been rooted in authenticity, emotion, and storytelling. I’m not interested in stiff poses or overly curated scenes. I want to document the truth of your experience—the little moments, the subtle glances, the connection between you and your growing baby, your partner, or your family. Years from now, you won’t just want to remember how you looked. You’ll want to remember how it felt—the butterflies in your stomach, the gentle kicks, the way your body changed to make space for new life. That’s the magic I aim to preserve.

Santa Cruz offers the perfect backdrop for these intimate sessions. Whether it’s the golden light filtering through the redwoods, the serene calm of a foggy beach morning, or the playful wind across the cliffs, the natural beauty of this place echoes the organic beauty of pregnancy. We’re incredibly lucky to have so many stunning outdoor locations that pair effortlessly with the soft, quiet emotion of maternity portraits. I always encourage my clients to choose places that speak to them, whether that’s a favorite trail, a secluded beach, or even their own backyard. The setting should feel like you.
