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.
About your photographer

I'm Cass — I've been photographing Bay Area families since 2018, and Fairfax is one of the communities I return to regularly. I understand what Fairfax families value, and I try to bring that same authenticity to the photography. My approach is unhurried and warm: I follow your lead, document what's real, and make the whole session feel easy. Every session includes 30+ edited digital images delivered within two weeks.
