Irvine Family Photographer
Family life moves fast. I capture the warmth, the laughter, and the genuine connection between you and your people — creating images that feel real and alive, not stiff or overly staged. Whether it's your growing family, a milestone birthday, or simply documenting this season of life, these are the moments you'll treasure most.
Family Sessions
Real moments from family sessions across Irvine and Orange County.
Family Photography Sessions
Family Portraits
Relaxed outdoor sessions at your favorite Irvine park or neighborhood spot. I focus on natural interactions — playing, walking, laughing together — so your photos feel like real life, not a photoshoot.
Kids & Milestones
First birthdays, toddler sessions, back-to-school portraits, and everything in between. I keep things playful and low-pressure so even the littlest ones have a great time.
Extended Family
When the whole family gets together, those moments deserve to be documented. Multi-generational family sessions with a mix of group photos and individual family units.
Holiday & Seasonal
Mini sessions and seasonal photography for holiday cards, spring portraits, and fall family photos. Irvine's year-round sunshine means beautiful outdoor photos any time of year.
Beautiful Family Photo Locations in Irvine
Irvine is full of gorgeous spots for family photos. Some of my favorites include Irvine Regional Park with its towering oaks and rustic charm, the open trails at Jeffrey Open Space, the gardens at William R. Mason Regional Park, and the lush greenery at Aldrich Park on the UC Irvine campus. For a more urban feel, the Irvine Spectrum area and Great Park offer unique backdrops.
I also love shooting at the nearby beaches — Crystal Cove, Corona del Mar, and Laguna Beach are just a short drive from Irvine and make for stunning golden hour sessions. I serve families throughout Irvine, Tustin, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, and all of Orange County.
Book a Family SessionFrequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of day for family photos in Irvine?
Golden hour — the hour before sunset — produces the most beautiful, warm light for outdoor family photos. In Southern California, this soft light is incredibly flattering and gives your photos that dreamy, golden glow.
Where are the best locations for family photos in Irvine?
Some top spots include Irvine Regional Park, Jeffrey Open Space Trail, Quail Hill Trailhead, William R. Mason Regional Park, and the Orange County Great Park. I'm happy to recommend the perfect location based on your family's vibe and the look you're going for.
How do you handle young kids during a family session?
I keep everything relaxed and playful. No forced smiles or rigid posing — we let kids explore, play, and be themselves while I capture the genuine joy and connection. Snack breaks are always encouraged.
What should we wear for family photos?
Coordinate rather than match. Soft, neutral tones with a pop of color work beautifully. I send a detailed style guide after booking with specific recommendations for your session location and time of year.
