I specialize in photographing children and families. I have a passion for creating beautiful images of people's most precious moments. As a mother myself, I know how quickly children grow, and how fleeting milestones can be. I am based in Pleasanton, California, and serve the East Bay of the San Francisco area.
I will come to you, and we will shoot at your favorite outdoor location. I will ascertain exactly what style of photograph you are looking for, and will work with you to create images you will treasure. Please browse the site, and contact me with any questions you may have.

Call me Tracy. I'm a Brit living in California, married with 3 young children. I love chocolate. Seriously. Love. I'm addicted. I also write mystery and paranormal novels, I'm hooked on crochet, and I'm a huge fan of Star Trek and Doctor Who. And yes, as corny as it sounds, I live and breathe photography.
Multiple or larger families, or special requests or locations may incur an additional fee. Please contact me with your requirements and I will get a quote to you within 48 hours. Why should you pay me to take your photos when a department store will do it for half the price, or your friend can do it for free with their phone?
As a thank you for booking both your maternity and newborn sessions with me, you will receive a 50% discount off a standard maternity session. The total fee for both sessions is $425, and must be paid in full on or before the maternity session. 1 10 x 10 Photo Book with images from all 4 sessions that beautifully highlights those precious milestones.
All prints are produced using high quality photo-grade paper and ink. By purchasing professional prints, your images will be preserved for years to come, ensuring that you won't forget this special time in the life of your family. Frames not included. Larger sizes and mounting options available on request.
Look at your home decor. Since you will be hanging these photos in your house you want to make sure the colors of your clothes reflect your style and go with the color scheme of your home. If your walls are brightly painted choose clothing that will not clash, or is a little more muted. If you have lots of neutral colors in your home and want your photos to add a pop of color to the walls, look for clothes in bright happy colors.

Tracy is a highly skilled photographer who loves what she does. I was looking for someone to come home and take pictures of our new born in the convenience of our home. Tracy agreed to that request. She was referred to us by a friend who has availed her service in the past. Tracy's approach of just blending in with our family and capturing candid moments was exactly what we were looking for. I was initially nervous about how the new born is going to react to her, will he wake up in the middle of the session, how will I put him back to sleep etc. Tracy came home with the camera, lights and

Tracy is excellent, very professional and friendly. She was very responsive to my extra requests. I was picky in finding a location with green grass (difficult with the drought), she drove to several different location to scope out the best for us. We found one. Our pictures come out great, better than expected! I am recommending her to all my friends.

Tracy took some great photos of our family! She is very flexible and allows you to input regarding any specific shots you prefer. She has a very calm and relaxed demeanor which makes it easy for everyone. She captured the family feel we were after and suggested some memorable shots that added to the experience. I love that her website is easy to follow and the pricing is all very reasonable. We are definitely coming back next year for some more family photos.

Tracy is a great photographer. She is very easy going, accommodating and professional. Tracy has a knack for catching special moments with her camera. I highly recommend Tracy for your next family portrait session. I can share that my two teenage daughters don't like posing for photographs, however, both of them loved the photos we got in a single session with Tracy. Give her a try!

Tracy did my maternity photo shoot and I couldn't be more satisfied. My biggest concern before hiring Tracy was I will not get the level of quality and service I would get if I hired somebody else who charges way more than Tracy. As soon as Tracy arrived for the photo shoot that concern was put to rest. She spent 2 hours with us while also waiting for us for change of clothes. She made us feel very comfortable through out the photo shoot and the end result far exceeded my expectations. For the 100 dollars amount that I paid I got to pick the location of my choice, Tracy spent 2 hours with

Tracy is a truly talented photographer. She has an ease about her that makes her clients feel comfortable and this can be seen in the quality of her photos. She also has a special knack for capturing rare, one of a kind moments and uses her expertise to frame photos in creative ways. I would recommend Tracy in particular for those who are shy of cameras (like myself). She makes me look good in a photo and that is something very rare to come across.

Tracy has such a relaxed manner. This helped to create a comfortable atmosphere for the photo shoot. She is professional, kind and excellent at her craft. Even when my little ones didn't want to cooperate, Tracy just went with the flow and they picked up on this. Soon they were coming back around again to sit for the pictures. I highly recommend Tracy for all those precious moments you want to capture.
