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.
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.
Recently, my good friend Lisa had an amazingly decorated party for her son’s second birthday. I was there to capture all of the special moments like blowing out the candles and opening gifts, but I was also able to document all of her hard work. I took photos of all of the important details she had spent so much time creating – the food, the cake, the goody bags, etc. I know she’s not the only mom out there who is taking party planning to a new level! If that sounds like you and you want your child’s party documented, give me a call for all of the details! As part of the package, you will also walk away with an amazing collage like the one I made for Lisa shown below.
You all know the boring school photos that your children bring home with them, right? The ugly blue background, the fake smile, the torture. I have a solution that will take these out of your life forever – never to be framed on your wall again. Once a year, right before school starts, I offer back to school portraits to take the place of the photos your kids get at school. The session is a quick 15 minutes and gives you a more interesting, more customized way to document the new school year. Mason is home schooled and his mom had forgotten about school photos last year and didn’t want to be missing a photo of her son – so she brought him in for a quick session to capture his 12th year. He is such a genuine, sweet person and I was so glad to meet him and capture such a natural, wonderful portrait of him. If you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity next year, send me your email address and I will sign you up for my studio newsletter. You’ll receive all of the latest updates and information about upcoming promotions.
I am so grateful for all the wonderful little kids I get to hang out with and photograph. They add so much happiness to my life! Little Miss Bella Bliss is the cutest, most adorable little friend I have made along the way. She has the biggest personality and the biggest heart! I just love her. Not to mention her wonderful parents who have become my great friends. Can you feel the love? For this session, we went out to Sacramento’s own lovely botanical gardens. Did you even know we had them? I had never heard of them until this session. So tell everyone you know and go check them out for yourself. Here she is…
My most loyal client, Melissa, brought her whole family in for an updated family portrait. Here are some snipets from that session…

The last time I photographed this little guy he was still in his mommy’s belly. He’s 15 months now and soooo adorable! I got to take pictures of the whole family and snapped a couple shots of Triston while I was there.Â
