Real Moments, Beautifully Captured—From Pregnancy to Motherhood

Your Bay Area Pregnancy & Family Photographer

Motherhood is filled with beautiful, fleeting moments, but it can also feel overwhelming.

You’re navigating so much—pregnancy changes, sleepless nights with a newborn, or just the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for your family.

It’s easy to feel like there’s no time to slow down, let alone capture these precious stages of life.

Relax, soak it in, and let me capture the magic.

Wishing you could slow down motherhood and capture it all?

Creating a stress-free experience is so important to me because I know how much pressure can come with a photo session.
I want to take that off your shoulders.

I’m here to guide you through every step—so you can focus on what really matters: being present with your baby, your partner, and your growing family. Together, we’ll capture the joy, the love, and even the chaos of motherhood, in a way that feels authentic to you.

Maternity Session, & Newborn Session
Pleasanton, CA

"Emily is fantastic to work with! I was searching for a photographer to capture candid moments during my pregnancy and for my newborn and found Emily. She helped us (and our newborn) feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We love how our photos turned out and would work with Emily again in the future to capture more precious moments."

Family Session
Walnut Creek

We've worked with Emily for about 4 years now and have two high-energy boys. She does an amazing job of keeping them engaged and making the sessions fun for everyone while also capturing so many beautiful moments. The photos turn out amazing every time!

Emily has a true talent as a photographer. She is able to capture beautiful moments (with 3 young children/toddlers included!) while making the entire family feel so comfortable along the way. I would 10/10 recommend Emily! We have been using her as our annual photographer since we had our first kid. You won’t regret it!

Why Families Keep Coming Back

Becoming a mother is a huge transformation, and I’m here to capture that journey without adding stress.

Whether you're celebrating your pregnancy or welcoming a newborn, my approach is all about creating a relaxed, comfortable space where you can be yourself.

For expecting moms, I focus on real, authentic moments—no forced poses—so you feel confident and beautiful during your maternity session.

When your baby arrives, my in-home newborn sessions capture the love and connection of your growing family, working at your baby's pace in the comfort of your home.

Many families return year after year because they love how I capture the real moments that matter, without the pressure.

Helping You Capture Life’s Most Precious Moments Effortlessly

Because every step of motherhood deserves to be captured in a way that feels authentic to you and your family.

A few days after the session, you’ll receive a handful of sneak peeks so you can start enjoying your images.

Within three weeks, you’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery of high-resolution digital images. Every image will be a true reflection of your family.

On the day of your session, we’ll keep things relaxed. We’ll focus on natural, flattering poses that highlight your confidence and beauty, ensuring a calm, enjoyable experience.

From Booking to Beautiful Photos: Here’s How It Works

Hi! I'm Emily!

I'm an East Bay photographer with a passion for capturing the real, raw, and joyful moments of motherhood and family life.

Before I became a photographer, I spent years as a school counselor and high school administrator, which gave me a deep understanding of children, families, and the dynamics that make each one unique. I bring that same empathy, patience, and connection to every session I do.

Whether you’re celebrating your pregnancy, welcoming a newborn into your home, or updating your family photos, my goal is to make the process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I believe the best photos come from real moments—when you’re truly present with the ones you love.

With a background in child development and a lifetime of working with families, I know how to create an environment where your family can just be themselves, letting their personalities shine through.
