Folsom Family Photographer | D Family

Thank you to Chrissy and her beautiful family for allowing me to take their first “official” family photos! I loved meeting their adorable son and lovable dog. I have been a proud dog owner, recently losing our Bear. So it meant a lot to me that Chrissy wanted to include their family pet in their photos. You can’t have too many images of your loved ones…including your pups. I wish I had taken more family photos with Bear over the past few years.

We decided to meet in Folsom at one of my favorite woodsy areas. It is hard to find these pretty pockets of green in Northern California in the fall, but we managed to find the perfect place for their session! Folsom is gorgeously perfect for family shoots 🙂

This family is really fun. Like really fun. They laughed at all my corny jokes and had a genuinely fabulous time together. It is not a surprise their little boy, S, was smiley, curious, and a complete joy. He is the apple in their eyes 🙂

Folsom-Sacramento-Family-Photographer-001This is really a beautiful family 🙂 I feel so lucky that their move to Folsom led them to me…I had the BEST time chasing after little S.

He loved it!Folsom-Sacramento-Family-Photographer-005This mama loved her boy.

Thanks again to Chrissy, for meeting me in beautiful Folsom for your family session! I hope to see you all again soon. Your family is really awesome and I had a great time meeting you all!

Sacramento Maternity Photographer | Bre in Seattle

My gorgeous friend (who is also a very talented wedding photographer!) has given birth to a beautiful baby girl… but before she had her daughter I was able to get a few maternity photos of her. I was invited/invited myself over to her house in Washington this past May, and spent the week with her and her family visiting all of the Seattle sites…the public market, the flagship Nordstrom store (sigh it was like my own mothership calling me home!), Alki beach, the quaint neighborhood in Queen Anne… it was the perfect vacation! She was a gracious tour guide. I miss my friend dearly, she moved from California to Washington and I feel like I just do not see her often enough these days. Unless you count Facebook as a way of “seeing someone” 😉 I love that I was able to give her a few images of her belly!

Her maternity session was shot on a very rainy day, I hear this is normal for Seattle 🙂 My friend Chloe (another very talented wedding photographer in Washington) and I spent the afternoon photographing Bre. We were in the same space and spent the same time with her, and it is always so fabulous to see the world through each other’s eyes. Chloe’s images are gorgeous and you can see her’s here 🙂 We did wrap ourselves in warm winter ware and head outside for the last part of the session. I didn’t have a bag for my camera and it was just raining too hard, so you have to click over to Chloe’s blog to see the beautiful rainy photos she took 🙂

Without further ado, I would like to share these images of the lovely Bre. She was glowing, so beautiful, and it was no wonder seeing the precious girl she now holds in her arms. I love you, my friend!

Folsom Family Photographer | Katie + Daniel

I met with Katie and Daniel and their adorable daughter last night in Folsom for a summer session 🙂 We enjoyed ourselves despite high temperatures and some intense humidity! Little girl A did just a great job, and once she decided she liked my camera she gave me a few smiles 🙂

Thank you for coming out last night, Katie! It was a pleasure getting to meet you and your lovely family 🙂
