Christmas studio photos are one of the easiest ways to capture your family during the holidays. My Sausalito studio in Marin County is bright, simple and designed to keep kids comfortable. With over ten years of experience, I know how to get real smiles from every age. Choose a quick 20 minute family session or a fast 10 minute kids portrait, wear pajamas or something formal, and bring a favorite stuffed animal if it helps.

If you’re looking for newborn photos that feel soft, simple, and natural, studio sessions are a perfect fit. My all-white studio keeps the focus on your baby and the connection you share as a family. Everything is already set up and beautifully lit, so you just come in, snuggle your baby, and we create a full gallery together.

As a photographer, there’s something magical about watching a baby grow from a brand-new newborn to an older kid. When families come back to my Sausalito studio for both sessions, it feels like completing a story. The consistency of studio newborn photography paired with a milestone session means you get timeless, cohesive images that belong together. I love how these sessions look displayed together in albums or on walls; they tell a full story of that incredible first year.

One of the most common questions I get is what to wear for your studio session. The good news? My white studio backdrop is super versatile, which means most colors and styles look great!

Whether you’re going barefoot or dressing it up, these pointers will help you pull it all together beautifully.

Kid portraits in just 10 minutes? Yep—and they really work. These fast-paced mini sessions are all about capturing the sweet, silly, expressive side of your kid without dragging it out. I’ll guide everything to make sure we get great shots quickly, but the real magic happens when you show up prepared: well-fed kid, bathroom break done, and just one calm parent ready to support (and maybe jump in!). These are perfect on their own or as an add-on to your family shoot when you want more than just one or two solo shots of each kid. Want to get the most from your 10-minute session? Read on for five quick tips that make a big difference.

When you're deciding between a studio, in-home or outdoor session, it can feel like a big choice.
