Lifestyle
sessions.
All of it.
Couples. Families. Maternity. New babies. As a new queer mom, I know how fast these seasons pass — and how much it matters to have them documented.
Love documented in all its forms.
After becoming a mom in 2025, it changed the way I see this work. The emotions behind a maternity session, that "omg this child is ours?!" new parent feeling, and the beautiful chaos of a family morning. I'm here to hold space for your family to be themselves and document it all.
And it's not only families. Just the two of you, somewhere you love, being exactly who you are together — that belongs here too.
My approach is the same as everything else I do — no forced poses and no pressure to look a certain way. Just you, your people, and the real moments between you.
Who this is for
Couples
Just the two of you, somewhere you love, being exactly who you are together.
Families
Your people, your chaos, your real life — before it changes again.
Maternity & New Baby
The bump, the first hours, the ten fingers and ten toes. Every version of a new beginning.
What I offer
Two ways to document what matters.
Whether it's just the two of you, a growing family, or a bump that's almost ready — I'm here for all of it.
Lifestyle Sessions
All of it.
Every version.

Day in the Life
The beautiful
everyday chaos.
Starting at $800 · 2 hours
Introductory rate — just launched
I come to you — your home, your morning, your real life — and document it without the pressure of a session. Works beautifully for families and for couples: a Sunday at home, a farmers market loop, a lazy coffee shop morning. No poses. Just you, right now, before it changes.
It's less of a photoshoot and more of a documentary approach to your every day. Your real life and moments held onto in their current chapter.

Meet Your Photographer
Hey, I'm Beth —
your calm in the chaos.
I'm a queer photographer with over 15 years of experience, and a new mom myself. I know firsthand what it's like to want these moments held onto — and how fast the chapters change. Whether it's a maternity session, a chaotic family morning, or just you and your partner being exactly who you are, I'm here to document it with care.
My approach is low-key and low-pressure. I'll show up, get to know your people (including the dogs), and make the whole thing feel way less like a photoshoot than you'd expect.

"Beth managed to capture not just images but the depth of our emotions and connection, and the fun and laughter we share every day."
Things people
always ask.
When should I book a maternity session?
Most people book between 23–36 weeks — when the bump is bumpin' but you still feel comfortable moving around, or at least not like a total loaf (speaking from my experience!). That said, every pregnancy is different, so reach out and we'll figure out the best timing for you specifically.
What about newborn sessions?
I offer newborn sessions and love documenting the very early days. The best window is typically about 2 weeks after birth when babies are still their little tiny selves and the parents feel a bit more human too. Reach out before your due date so we can pencil something in and then confirm once baby arrives.
What if my kids are in their anti-photo era?
I've worked with many kids who either give a very fake smile or just hate the camera. I love getting to know them to help them feel comfortable and have a good experience! Plus, some of the best family photos happen in the chaos between the posed moments. I work at your family's pace, take breaks when needed, and lean into whatever your kids are actually doing.
Do you offer in-home lifestyle sessions?
Yes, and they're my fave — especially for DITL sessions. Your home is where your real life happens, and there's something irreplaceable about having your relationship or family documented in the space you actually live in. I'll work with whatever light and space you have.
Do you travel for sessions?
Always. I'm based in San Diego but I'll go wherever your family is. The Adventure package covers all of Southern California. Beyond that, reach out and we'll build something that works. I often travel to the PNW and West Coast in general!
