Photography Just North of Marin

Petaluma sits just over the Marin County line, and it's one of the newer areas I'm getting to shoot in. It has its own rhythm — rolling hills, a historic downtown, a slower pace than the city — and I bring the same in-home, no-studio approach out here that I use everywhere else.

Right now, Helen Putnam Regional Park is my go-to Petaluma spot for outdoor sessions. In-home sessions work just as well if you'd rather stay close to home.

Favorite Locations in Petaluma

Helen Putnam Regional Park

Rolling hills, oak woodlands, and wide open sky — Helen Putnam Regional Park is a beautiful, uncrowded spot for family and maternity sessions alike. Late afternoon light here is soft and golden.

In Your Home

If you'd rather stay close to home, I'll come to you. In-home sessions are unhurried and quiet, and they let your family's actual routines set the pace.

Sessions in Petaluma

In-Home Newborn Photography

In-home lifestyle sessions for babies typically 5–21 days old. I come to your Petaluma home and work around feeding schedules — no rushing, no studio, just the quiet magic of those first weeks.

Family Sessions

At Helen Putnam Regional Park, or in your home. 45–60 minute sessions capturing your family exactly as it is — the laughter, the tenderness, the way you actually are together.

Maternity Photography

Best between 28–36 weeks. Helen Putnam Regional Park's rolling hills make for a beautiful, unhurried maternity setting. In-home sessions work just as well.

Headshots

Natural-light headshots for Petaluma entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals. 30-minute sessions, 10+ edited images, no studio required.
