Sessions take place in your home or anywhere in our beautiful Bay Area. As a parent myself, I know how to put you and your children at ease – when to make a joke, when to be patient, and when to disappear behind my camera. These sessions are joyful and fun! It may take a few minutes for your child to warm up to the idea of being photographed but don’t worry–a little patience and a funny face game is usually all that’s needed. Once the session starts moving along, I encourage parents to be relaxed and follow their kids’ lead. In fact, there are not many things that kids love more than their parents cuddling and playing with them and this makes for fantastic photos!
All packages include phone consultation, during which you will share your vision, ask questions and we'll go over the session process in detail. You’ll receive a personalized gallery from the shoot and edited high-resolution photographs for download, available to create gifts, print or share with your friends and family.

Hi! I’m Albena…Thanks for dropping by! Photography has been a lifelong passion for me. I feel inspired by all the amazing people I meet, who trust me to document the important moments of their family lives and careers. My goal is always to connect with the people in front of the camera, and capture their beautiful personalities. When I'm behind the camera on a shoot, I focus on composition, light and colors to create beautiful images. During the session, I use music, play and conversation to create a great experience, and help my clients relax – which is important for the grownups, as well for the kids! When everything is clicking, my camera and I are like a mirror that magically captures the spirit of your moments.

I believe in the magic of photography. A good photo or video is not just a beautiful art form, but it holds with it the memory of that time in your life.
You deserve holiday family photos that you can look back on and cherish for years. As your family photographer, my goal is to look for that spark of joy and connection, then preserve it for you.

When my brother recently gave me a snapshot of he, my sister and I cooking dinner for mother in 1967, I was moved by the details of my childhood. The salt and pepper shakers, the wall art, the home that I grew up in. With an Our House Session, I follow your family through the dealings of a day, from PJs to breakfast, getting ready, playing, cooking, reading. I spend a full three hours with the family and create a memorable 11x14 hardbound coffee table book to remember all the details of your home and life as it is.
