Your Sunset Story
A quiet evening you’ll be grateful you remembered
Life changes quickly.
The people we love change.
We change.
Whether you are celebrating...
Your Family
Your Relationship
A Milestone
A New Beginning
or simply Yourself,
we will create photographs for your current season.
Only a few Sunset Story Portrait Sessions are available each month.
Capture this season
You don’t need a special occasion to have photographs taken.
Maybe your family looks a little different these days.
Maybe you’ve been meaning to get in front of the camera yourself.
Whatever brought you here, we’ll capture your life exactly as it is right now.
We will walk, Talk, laugh, Explore, and Let the Evening Unfold.

"The photos came out amazing and your edits are exactly what I was looking for! Mario and I are so stoked about the way the photos turned out. You were the perfect photographer for this shoot. The day of the shoot, we ran into a few obstacles, but Traci kept such a positive attitude and helped me stay grounded without worrying about the little things. And honestly, there was nothing to worry about in the first place. The photos came out absolutely stunning! Even with my awkward posing, she made us look amazing. Can't recommend her enough! Thank you Traci!"

"It was a pleasure working with with Traci! We had to reschedule our session a few times due to weather conditions and sickness, but Traci was very flexible and understanding through it all. She is efficient with communication and we received a quick turnaround for our photos as well. We absolutely love our photos and highly recommend booking with Traci!"

"I had an opportunity to have 2 photo sessions with Traci! She did my wedding and maternity shoot! I am so happy with hot they turned out. Traci is very sweet and guided my husband and I with what to do. Traci was also available with any questions we had! She is so helpful and pleasant to work with. I am so glad I met Traci to take my photos and will definitely book future sessions with her!"

"Traci is a personal friend of mine. I saw her start this photography journey and knew from day one her talent and artistic eye would result in breath-taking photo sessions. When the time came for me to seek out engagement photos, there was no one else on my list I would rather capture this special moment in my life than Traci, and she did not disappoint. Arlett and I absolutely love our pictures. Thank you for your flexibility and the quick turn around, Traci. We love you!

"Traci is amazing! When you think about taking pics you think of the awkward poses you'll do but Traci makes you feel comfortable. She gives the best suggestions while also listening to what you want. She is the sweetest and if you have any doubts just look at her amazing photos! My family and I will be taking pics with her for while."

"I had a baby towards the end of November and Traci was able to take pictures of me and my family and even got the photos out to us before the Christmas holidays. She made me and my family feel super comfortable during the shoot and she was easy to work with. She was great with the kids too. Thank you Traci for taking the first photos of my newborn and as a family of 4!!

"The session went great! It was very natural, where we posed however we liked. But the images were above and beyond because Traci knew how to capture the best lighting, and background! She's also quick to reply and easy to talk to!"

Maybe This is Your Sign To Get in the Picture.
You’ve probably taken hundreds of photographs of the people you love.
Maybe there are fewer with you in them.
Maybe it’s time to for you to get in front of the camera.
Choose an evening. Put on something you feel good in. Bring the people who matter to you.
I’ll take care of the rest.
Why only a limited number of monthly sessions?
With a full-time job and a family of my own, I’ve intentionally chosen to keep my photography calendar small.
I only take a few Sunset Story portrait sessions each month.
It gives me the space to be present for the people I photograph while keeping photography something I genuinely love.
Hi, Im Traci.
I’m a Bay Area photographer, mama of four, wife, creative, and matcha enthusiast who loves finding beauty in the everyday.
I believe photographs should feel like you—not perfect, but full of the little moments and details you’ll want to remember.
I’ll guide you when you need it, keep things relaxed, and give you space to simply be yourself.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with a cup of matcha, spending time with my girls, or exploring somewhere new.
I’m so glad you’re here.
