What working with me looks like?
I believe Families are beautiful, messy, wild, far from perfect and so full of love!
I let kids run and play to their hearts content. The authentic moments and passionate hugs don't come from perfectly posed families. I capture genuine emotions and heartfelt smiles. Everybody perfectly posed and smiling into the camera is not my goal.
I know how daunting it is to prepare for your photoshoot.
I help you every step of the way,
from choosing the most perfect location to finalizing your outfits to getting your pictures printed. I strive to take the stress out of the photoshoot and make it a fun activity, that will leave your kids asking for more :-)
Are you ready
to go explore a new park, play some fun games, may be get a little dirty and spend some meaningful time together?

Hi!
I am Heena!
I am a mom to two little kids, 9 and 2.
I am a Software Engineer by day and I moonlight as a Bay Area Family Photographer
My creative journey started when my daughter was born. Photographing our everyday, mundane and beautiful life quickly became my passion.
I love to photograph families, nothing tugs at heart strings like looking at old photographs and reminiscing stories of our lives. And that is what I want to create for your family. Your Beautiful Stories!
My sessions are fun and relaxed, we are out to have a good time and not follow a Pinterest board. Photoshoots are usually in a beautiful location in south Bay Area like Los Gatos, Campbell, Cupertino, Saratoga or San Jose.



A moment frozen in time!
This is why photographs are important. This is the very first photograph of us as a family of four! We waited so long for my little boy to join our family. After 7 years, when we became a family of four, I took this image of us. It still hangs in our living room as a reminder that the best of things take time!
