Family & Gatherings

The gathering, not the lineup.

The best family photos rarely come from everyone saying cheese. I photograph your gathering the way it actually feels — the kitchen chaos, the grandparents' hands, the kids mid-laugh — and gently direct a few group photos so everyone is in the frame.

Birthdays, reunions, graduations, milestone dinners, and the holiday photo you actually like. Sessions run in English, Chinese, or both — grandparents included.

A short film of the day can be added to any session.

Dual-card backup on every shoot — unrepeatable moments, zero gambles.

Based in the South Bay / Peninsula — Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Santa Clara, San Jose — and available across the wider Bay Area by arrangement.

FAQ

Do you photograph multi-generation families?

Yes — that's the heart of this work. Bilingual sessions mean grandparents are directed in the language they're most comfortable in.

Indoors or outdoors?

Either. Golden-hour park sessions are popular, but home sessions — cooking, playing, the everyday rooms — often produce the photos families treasure most.

When should we book for holiday card photos?

October fills fastest. Book by early October for photos delivered in time for December cards.
