An award-winning photographer helping families preserve life’s sweetest, most fleeting moments. As a mom myself, I know how fast the days go and how important it is to capture your babies as they are right now. Let’s freeze time, together.
Heartfelt & timeless photography that captures your family's legacy.
San Francisco Bay Area
I’m a wife, mom, and all-around sentimental person. My mom was also a photographer — I remember her helping clients choose their favorite images and prints. Now I get to follow in her footsteps. As a family and newborn photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, it’s such a joy to carry on that legacy within my own community. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m chasing my kids, exploring the city, and soaking up every bit of this beautiful place we call home.
I’m a wife, mom, and a very sentimental person at heart. Growing up, my mom was a photographer too. I have vivid memories of her laying out prints across the floor, helping clients choose their favorites.
Today, I get to carry on that legacy as a family and newborn photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Now that I’m a mom myself, my kids are (sometimes!) my favorite models. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find us playing games, soaking up the outdoors, and exploring our city. San Francisco is one of my favorite places to live, work, and raise a family — and I feel incredibly lucky to call it home.

Meet your photographer
My approach is simple: relaxed sessions, real moments, and true-to-life editing. I’ll guide you just enough, but mostly I want you to laugh with your kids, hold your partner’s hand, and feel present in this season of life. Whether you’re celebrating a new baby, a growing bump, or just want updated family photos — I’m here to document it all with care. I work throughout the Bay Area and love getting to know families year after year.
timeless and joyful photography
These are the moments you’ll want to look back on — let’s make sure they’re captured in a way that feels honest, joyful, and full of love.

Testimonials
“Alyx is simply amazing! I have been getting family photos done ever since I had a child, but the best shots last year came from Alyx. She instantly connected with my family and captured the essence of our family/personalities in our first shoot, not to mention she brought the fun/humor out of my 3 yr old. I will be using her going forward and am so excited to have found our family photographer!”

“Alyx is the best! First of all, the photos are delightful. That's possible because Alyx put our family at ease and captured lovely, fleeting moments. She has a great eye for light and color, and we love the way she directed us to enable candid shots. We're keen to work with Alyx again.”
- Maya Tatsuno
"Alyx is a true professional and a gem of a person. She sets kids at ease right away and seemingly without any effort, though I'm sure she has worked really hard to refine this kind of magic with littles. We hired her to take school portraits of our kids. The photos really captured their energy and their personalities. She was quick without being rushed, and she made them feel comfortable right away. She delivered the images to us within a reasonable amount of time and was easy to work with from start to finish. I'd recommend her to anyone."
