Hi, I'm Tristin

If we get to work together we will laugh, play, and have a great time! Capturing the unique beauty in every family is my passion and I look forward to turning your love into art.

the PHOTOGRAPHY process

Fill out my contact form and let me know what vibe you're looking for in your Santa Barbara session location. If we are a good fit, we will choose a date and get you on my calendar!

We will narrow down an exact location, use my styling guide to help you build cohesive outfits, and get feedback and suggestions from me. As a 4th generation Santa Barbara Photographer, I know all the best spots.

3: expect a joyful photo EXPERIENCE


Enjoy your fun photo experience full of love, joy, and connection. Embrace the chaos, enjoy each other, and go with the flow! You'll love your family photos so much more if you do.

Family Photography Session

$1250 ALL-INCLUSIVE lifestyle portrait SESSION


ADD ON A CINEMATIC FILM TO GO ALONG WITH YOUR PHOTOS FOR $500


Family sessions take place outside with nature as your backdrop. With sand between your toes or under the shade of a giant oak tree, you and your family will authentically play in golden light. I strive to communicate love and connection through my camera. Think less posing or props, and more candid shots, witnessing joy and emotion. The goal isn’t to get a stiff, posed shot with everyone looking at the camera, but to capture the true spirit and connection of your family.


Includes a session with immediate family members, usually lasting up to one hour. Includes all high-resolution digital files from your gallery in both color and black & white (minimum of 75), presented in a private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing. You will receive a complimentary luxury photo album from your session. Leave the layout to me. I will design and deliver a beautiful custom album that will last for generations.

Cinematic Family Films

When you book a session with me, you have the option to add on a 2-3 minute cinematic film with music. It's a way to encapsulate a small yet meaningful slice of time, documented in a way that will endure for generations to come.
