I had the pleasure of meeting Marianna and her family through one of my prior families (one I’ve photographed often!) and it is always humbling to be referred to loved ones. I absolutely love meeting new families, and these children were a joy in front of my camera. They have so much life and the biggest, sweetest smiles. We met in El Dorado Hills for their family photography session. The Sacramento area is full of beautiful locations for family sessions, and their neighborhood community park did not disappoint!

I love to show connection when photographing families.

While I do take more traditional poses, my photographer soul enjoys the perfectly-imperfect candid moments. The natural, organic connection between family members is all I need and I can fill a gallery with these images. Even if no one is looking at my camera you can still feel their connection. This is what matters in the end. You know what you look like, let me show you how your love makes you feel. A mother’s life revolves around caring for young children, but I want my sessions to focus a little on this amazing human who is the cornerstone of her family. Mothers make a family. I love showing the love between a mother and her husband. It is beautiful to capture the love between a mother and her children.

Thank you Marianna for trusting me with your family’s memories! I hope to see you all again soon!
