Do you ever just meet a group of people and instantly know that they’re going to be a blast to be around? That’s exactly what happened as soon as the Tokunaga family walked up to me for their Folsom Lake family session! Their smiles and energy were immediately contagious and I just knew it was going to be an amazing session. The Tokunagas laughed so much and it was an absolute joy to capture the way they love one another!

As much as I love photographing families with littles, there’s something really special about capturing a family whose children have grown. Walking around Folsom Lake with the Tokunagas for their family session made me excited for my own daughter to grow up- and I can only hope that when that happens, we have a relationship like the Tokunagas do!

I’m a wife, mom, Gryffindor, and photographer based in Northern California. I’m obsessed with all stages of Happily Ever After and capturing the in-between of people loving each other. I believe that the true magic of photography coexists with the posing; it’s in the forehead kisses, the giggles over unsaid jokes, and the blissful feeling of you & your partner cuddling your newborn baby on your couch; it’s in the way your dad looks at you when he sees you in your wedding dress, and the way your daughter laughs when you tickle her tummy. I’m currently booking for 2022 + 2023 and would LOVE to chat more- be sure to reach out on my contact page or come say hi on Instagram!
