From the moment we start planning your session, my goal is to make you feel confident and gorgeous.

A LUXURY EXPERIENCE

Welcome! I’m Amber, and I am so glad you are here. I am a Bay Area Family Photographer and Photography Educator. An artist at heart, I use light, emotion, and color to capture images that you will WANT to live forever on your walls and that you can pass down to your future generations. 

As a mother myself, I know that these moments with our children are fleeting. Let me help you capture playful, tender, magical moments with your beautiful family all without the stress and overwhelm. 

The magic is in the small moments. These are the memories that will live on in our hearts. Imagine if you could bottle up this magic into an everlasting heirloom piece that decorates your home.

Every family is unique, and I believe your story deserves to be told authentically. My sessions are full of playful guidance and imaginative activities to create genuine, heartfelt moments.

As a Bay Area Family Photographer and busy mother of two, I’m dedicated to providing a personalized, luxury experience. My goal is to bring your memories to life with timeless wall art that will grace the walls of your home and velvet, fine art albums that will decorate your coffee table. Together, we’ll create pieces that will be treasured for generations.
