Family: Extended family at Tree People

This extended family session at TreePeople in Los Angeles was such a joy to photograph. We captured two families coming together during golden hour, when the light at TreePeople is truly magical. It’s one of my absolute favorite locations—the way the sun filters through the trees creates a soft, warm glow that flatters everyone and adds a timeless, natural feel to the images. The setting provided the perfect backdrop for both large group portraits and more intimate family moments, all while feeling relaxed and organic.

In every family session, I make sure to capture beautifully posed family photos that are perfect for holiday cards and framed keepsakes. Just as important, though, are the fun, candid moments—the laughter, movement, and genuine interactions that make every family unique. Those are the images that tell the real story and become the memories families look back on fondly for years to come. If you’d like to plan your next family session at TreePeople, I’d love to photograph it.

WELCOME

I call myself a ‘people’ photographer, specializing in capturing the personalities of people through family, newborn and event photography. I’m originally German-Japanese and was raised embracing both cultures. I was raised in Japan and in many parts of Europe, until I finally settled in Los Angeles to call it my permanent home. My love for photography started at an early age. A fun hobby eventually turned in to a passion when I found joy in taking candid photos of my friends. Naturally, my love for photography turned in to a lifestyle and I was asked to photograph people’s milestones and celebrations. And so, my photography business was born in 2010.
