Orange County Family Photographer
Relaxed portraits of the people you love, in light that flatters everyone.
Sessions starting at $350 · About 60 minutes
Family sessions should feel like spending time together, not like a test. I give simple prompts, keep things moving and let real moments happen, so the kids stay happy and the photos feel like you.
We will choose a location together, from beaches and bluffs to oak trails and old-town streets, and plan around the time of day when the light is softest.
Ideal for: Holiday cards, growing families, grandparents, milestone birthdays and anniversaries.
What's included
- A planning call or message to choose the location and time of day
- A short wardrobe and prep guide
- About an hour of relaxed, guided photography
- A fully edited, print-ready online gallery in about two weeks
- Permission to print and share your photos
Starting at $350. Final pricing depends on location, length and any extras, and I will send an estimate when you inquire.

Questions
Family Portraits FAQ
What should we wear for our family session?
Choose a soft, coordinated palette rather than matching outfits, and avoid large logos. I send a short wardrobe guide after you book so everyone feels comfortable.
How do you handle young kids?
I keep sessions short, playful and flexible. We take breaks when needed, and some of the best frames come from kids being kids.
Can grandparents or extended family join?
Absolutely. Just let me know the group size when you inquire so I can plan the location and timing.
