Bay Area portrait & family photographer
The little moments.
The big feelings.
Life moves fast. Let’s slow it down.
Honest, light-filled photographs of you and the people you love.
A little guidance. A lot of being yourself.
No camera confidence required.
A few stories, beautifully kept
People first.
Photographs to feel.
From the quiet glances to the full-belly laughs.
Come as you are. We’ll find the good light.
Less posing. More living.
You don’t need to know
what to do.
That’s what I’m here for.
I’m Phuong, the person behind Backlight. I make space for you to relax, move around, and be with your people. A few gentle prompts, a beautiful bit of light, and the rest is yours.
We’ll choose a place that feels right, talk through what to wear, and make something you’ll love coming back to.
A little more about meGood memories. Simple plans.
A session for your season.
The Mini
A little time. A lot to remember.
The Signature
Space to relax and be yourselves.
The Full Story
More time for the whole story.
Every session includes planning guidance, an online gallery, and high-resolution downloads.
Your people. Your story.
Let’s make something
worth holding on to.
A milestone, a new chapter, or just because.
There’s no wrong time to remember this season.
