maternity + family photographer
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Parenting in LA, whether as a queer, solo, adopting, blended, nuclear, or co-parenting family, is a story worth telling.
Your family deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered in the spaces you call home. This season of becoming—every messy, magical, and in-between moment—matters.
Because one day, when life looks different and your babies have grown, these photos will take you back.
Hold onto this season.
it begins with you
As parents, we often make excuses for not prioritizing certain family projects. I get it. But here’s the truth: the generational baton has been passed, and now it’s your turn to call the shots.
How you document your life today will shape how you remember this journey of parenthood.
Think back to your own childhood photos. What memories do they evoke? Now, imagine the photos you’ll share with your grandchildren, alongside the stories of your journey.
The choice is yours, and I’m here to help.
imagine the impact
Your walls can tell your family’s story. How do you relate to this from your own childhood?
When your kids see themselves in framed photos, they don’t just see a picture—they see where they belong.
Family portraits are more than memories; they are daily affirmations of love, identity, and connection.
"I came home last night and cried to Isaac, saying it was the first time I have felt beautiful during this pregnancy."

“You truly have a gift – not just of your tangible art, but the way you can connect with the person on the other side of the lens to create such beautiful moments like these that will last forever.”
Erin P.
Los Angeles Family Photographer
full circle
You’ve got enough on your plate. That’s why I act as your personal producer, making sure your family’s story isn’t just documented, but beautifully brought to life, with as little effort as possible on your part.
From planning your session to choosing how your photos live in your home, I guide you every step of the way.
No decision fatigue. No “I’ll get around to it” guilt. Instead, a high-touch experience that ensures your most meaningful moments don’t get buried in a digital graveyard.
Yes, I’ll encourage that your photos are backed up in the cloud. But let’s be real, your family’s story deserves more than a screen.
It deserves a place in your home, where it can be seen, held, and cherished every single day.
