About — Orange County | Los Angeles Family Photographer

I’m here to help you:

Get the soulful photos of your family you crave without the hassle.

The days are long, but the years are short.

It’s a cliché, but it’s true. I don’t know about you, but I never realized how quickly time passes until I had kids of my own. Suddenly things like “blink and you missed it” made too much sense.

You want images of your family that freeze little moments in time. Photos you can enjoy for years to come. But the thought of finding a date, putting together outfits, and convincing your family to get on board stresses you out. I’ve been there!

When I first became a mom, I too started regularly scheduling family sessions. With one baby, it was smooth sailing. I chose his outfit, put him in his infant seat, and away we went. Once I had my second, it was a different ballgame. Suddenly, my toddler had opinions about what he was wearing and getting two kids to a location far from home turned into an experience that ended with a frustrated husband, a cranky toddler, and a baby who cried the entire (hour long) drive home.

While I still cherish the photos, the memory of getting them is burned in my brain.

You deserve a better experience.

Testimonials

“We love the pictures that Collins captured of our family! She was super fun and personable with our four young girls. She had them running around and playing and dancing in the sand in Laguna Beach. Even with four very wiggly girls, the photos of our family turned out beautifully! Highly recommend working with Collins for a family photo session.

“It was a pleasure working with Collins. This was our first time doing family photos with our baby. The booking process was so easy. The photo session could not have gone better. She is AMAZING with kids and was able to capture our son’s sweet personality and make him smile. I can’t recommend Collins enough as a family photographer.”
— Jason S —
“Collins is pure talent! Her communication was very timely and professional. She even sent us a dressing guide and a tips and tricks sheet for how to prepare little ones for a shoot! She was patient and kind during the session. Her turnaround time was impeccable and the platform she uses is very easy to use, from viewing the gallery to downloading photos. I will absolutely be using Collins for all our professional family photo needs!”
