Autumn is an amazing photographer and wonderful human. She perfectly captured our family’s spirit and worked hard to create beautiful images that exceeded our high expectations. She was patient and loving with our children and infused her sense of humor and artistic sensibilities into every moment of our shoot. We never felt rushed and felt very taken care of. We will definitely ask her to photograph us again!

We hired Autumn for a family photo session: myself, my husband, our 2 1/2 year ball of fire child, and my parents. She was amazing! Autumn spent two hours with us, taking photos and following the lead of our very opinionated and high energy daughter. She was super patient with our daughter and very fun for all of us to interact with.
A couple of weeks after the shoot, she personally delivered the proofs to us and they are beautiful! I don't know how she managed it, because my daughter never seemed to hold still for more than 10 seconds, but there are some amazing and very sweet shots of all of us together. This was the first time we used a professional photographer for family shots, but it won't be the last -- and we will definitely be working with Autumn again!

Autumn does an amazing job! She is such a pleasure to work with and captures the best pictures of our family. She comes prepared for any situation and is always willing to make your pictures exactly what you want. You can’t go wrong with Autumn.

When I have the honor of photographing one of my clients families, whether in their home as a home lifestyle session, or at one of the many beautiful locations in Sonoma and Marin county I love my homework! If you are a new client, I will ask for the names and ages of the young people and pets I will be meeting during our photo session. I like to learn the names of each person so that I can strengthen our connection of trust. As I build this connection during our session with silly jokes and thoughtful questions , I always notice a shift in how genuine and relaxed the smiles are in the photos we create together. While I like to save a 90 minute session for our photography, that time will be filled with breaks, walking, s’mores at your backyard fire, chatter as we get to know each other and as we build that connection of trust. So many of my clients have chosen me to document the evolution of their family units over the years… Which is of course my favorite positive review of my work. And I am always eager to meet new families - and new puppies - several clients have brought new furry family members to a photo session and it has always been lots of fun!
When you book a family photo session with me, we will communicate around location, wardrobe, names, and ages of the members of your family unit. I will also reiterate through our process that my main goal is a relaxed and joyful session. Punctuality should never be a source of stress! I would rather wait until you and your family arrive in a calm and connected way, than cause you any anxiety. My goal is to capture photos of your family unit and it’s connection… To tell the story of this unique time in your lives.
I hope to hear from you soon, and of course, if my calendar doesn’t lineup with your calendar, I have many wonderful photographer friends who offer similar services in our community that I would be thrilled to connect you with… Want to do your own research? Head right on over to my webpage:
Autumn is the best ever! Not only were the pictures from our family shoot phenomenal, we had such a blast hanging out with Autumn. She's so fun, warm, funny and she put us all at ease, which made for fantastic photos. She also did some really phenomenal photoshop work on a few photos for us. Can't wait until our next session with her!

We had the best experience working with Autumn to take our first family photos with our 5 month old baby! Autumn made us feel so comfortable and relaxed while shooting AMAZING pictures of us, our son (and our dog!) I was blown away to receive the photos back so quickly and to find so many gems we'll treasure for years to come. Thank you, Autumn! We already can't wait for next year's photo shoot!
