Photography for Fairfax Families

Fairfax has its own thing going on — redwoods right at the edge of town, trails that open into Cascade Canyon, a downtown that feels genuinely local. The families I photograph here tend to love the outdoors, value authenticity, and want photos that look like their actual life — not a studio setup. That's exactly what I do.

I offer in-home newborn and family sessions throughout Fairfax, as well as outdoor sessions in the parks and open spaces that make this corner of Marin so distinctive. Whether you're in a cozy bungalow near downtown or backing up against the canyon, your home and your surroundings are part of the story.

Favorite Locations in Fairfax

Cascade Canyon

Creek crossings, redwood shade, wildflowers in spring — Cascade Canyon is one of the most beautiful and least-photographed settings in Marin. It rewards families who are willing to walk a little. The canyon light in late afternoon is extraordinary.

Dickson Park

Right in downtown Fairfax, shaded by big trees with a creek running through it. Easy to reach, low-stress, and genuinely beautiful — especially for newborn milestone sessions and toddler portraits where you don't want a long hike.

White Hill Open Space

Rolling hills, open meadows, and sweeping views toward the bay — White Hill offers the kind of wide, airy setting that works beautifully for maternity portraits and family sessions where you want space and sky.

In Your Home

Fairfax homes have personality — redwood walls, vintage details, big yards backing up against the hills. In-home sessions here always feel real and grounded. I come to you and work with what you have, which is usually a lot.

Sessions in Fairfax

In-Home Newborn Photography

In-home lifestyle sessions for babies typically 5–21 days old. I come to your Fairfax home and work gently around your newborn's rhythms — no studio, no stress, just quiet and real.

Family Sessions

Cascade Canyon, Dickson Park, or in your home. Genuine, relaxed portraits of your family — the laughter, the tenderness, and the moments that actually happen when everyone relaxes.

Maternity Photography

Best between 28–36 weeks. White Hill or Cascade Canyon for outdoor sessions — or in your Fairfax home for something warm and intimate.

Headshots

Natural-light headshots for Fairfax entrepreneurs and creatives. Clean, real, no studio required — the redwoods and open spaces nearby make beautiful backgrounds.
