There is nothing I love more than a newborn baby to photograph.  So sleepy, so peaceful, so beautiful.  The possibilities are endless.  If you are pregnant and considering having newborn portraits done, but aren’t sure if you would like them, please set up a consultation with me.  We can go over all of your options and plan a wonderful session for you.  These are precious moments you can never get back.  Your baby will never be so small or delicate again.

If you know a lot of people and would like to save money on a session, portrait parties are the way to go!  You become the hostess with the mostest!  Organize a group of your friends on a designated day, find a beautiful spot, and I will be there with my camera ready to go.  As the hostess, you will receive a free session and a percentage of the sales as a credit towards your purchase.  Your friends receive a special session price as well as discounted special portrait party pricing.  Its a win win!!  If you are interested in finding out more details, give us a call at 916-837-5955 or email us at crystal@crystaljonesphoto.com.   Here are some images from a recent portrait party down in Oakdale hosted by Miss Lisa Corcoran, one of my most loyal clients.

Here’s my little nephew, Atreyu!  Look how cute he is!  I can’t stand it!

Look at these beautiful children!  They are so sweet and funny and such a joy to be around.  We had a great time romping around in the wide open fields by their house finding great places to photograph them.  Often times parents will forget the capture their children in these middle years after they are toddlers and before they are teenagers.  These two are 5 & 7, the perfect time to get some wonderful timeless photos of their brother sister friendship.  Nothing makes me happier than siblings that have fun together.

This year I am most thankful for my amazing and wonderful nephew. He is such a joy to be around and completely happy and healthy.  I couldn’t be more happy to be an auntie!

These are some of my greatest clients showing off their beautiful family!  Like most people they hadn’t had a family photo since their son, Spearman, was about 4 years old.  He’s now 12 and it was definitely time for an update.  I love getting to capture the relationship of a family at this very moment and showing how it changes over the years.  I think these photos do that perfectly.  They are beautiful and yet real.

Senior portraits are one of the greatest ways for teenagers to show off their personal style at such a pivotal moment in their lives.  Whether they look forward to these photos or not, they always appreciate them in the end.  And once we get started, we have so much fun that they forget it’s something their parents are making them do.  I mean who doesn’t want to have a day that’s all about them?  This is Conner of Del Oro High School in Loomis showing off his personal style!  We took a tour of the great little town and took some amazing photos of him in the process.  We had such a fun time that for his senior project he picked photography and I ended up getting to be his mentor!
