Sacramento Maternity Photographer | Melissa + TJ

Melissa and TJ are charming, witty, and completely real. Melissa said she was browsing Pinterest and found a maternity photo of mine and contacted me for a session. I really did have the best time getting to know these two, and I am so glad for this wild and crazy internet for bringing us together!!

I was so excited when she shared wanting photos in their home, with their cats, completely natural and very relaxed. We started their maternity session in their beautiful, cozy home, which was Melissa’s childhood home. The walls were lined with family photos and they were settled in the house she grew up in. They were so excited to bring their baby girl home and begin their family of three! We headed out to a park nearby, where Melissa used to have family BBQs, Easter egg hunts, and family walks. They strolled the beautiful tree-filled park while I sat back and photographed them. The whole session was very documentary in nature, my favorite. They laughed, chatted, and let their playful spirits free. Thank you to this sweet couple for allowing me to photograph their maternity!

Sacramento Newborn Photographer | Baby Nolan

I had the pleasure of meeting Jenna and Tom at their wedding in 2014. They were married in a gorgeous ceremony surrounded by family and friends. I was thrilled to see them again at their maternity session down in Los Gatos. Since that time, Tom’s family has experienced a terrible loss, the passing of his mother. With the loss came new life in their son. He is very special and already seems wise beyond his years. I wish their new family many years of happiness together as they grow into their new blissful family of three. Little N is now seven months new and I am so honored to share his images here today! He was so alert and awake during his newborn session, I don’t think he wanted to miss one second 🙂

Lake Tahoe Snowy Maternity Photographer | Stephanie + Andy

Oh Stephanie and Andy. I have known her for years (she is friend of my sister’s), and have had the pleasure of photographing their engagement, wedding, and now their maternity for their first baby boy! I was able to head down to their home in Livermore last weekend and photograph their new baby and thought I really should share these sun-soaked Tahoe maternity photos before I share the cute ones of their baby 🙂 Tahoe is always a favorite, and the snowy hills near Sierra at Tahoe was the perfect place to meet up for some snuggly, winter photos. Congrats to this amazing couple on the arrival of their darling baby boy!
