Sacramento Family Photographer | Jessica + Zak

Any time I get to see these people I get happy. Jessica has become one of my favorite people. She was a bride from years ago, and I have been able to photograph her family many, many times since. Zak and Jessica are so fun. They also have the cutest, sweetest little girl (who clearly loves my camera just like her mama!)

We met for holiday photos and lucked out with a beautifully cloudy day, with hints of sun peeking through. Jessica has amazing style and her little family looked perfect as usual. But more importantly, they have a ton of fun together. They could be wearing sacks and still photograph like models. This is what a relaxed, easy going family looks like, folks. I love their banter, the way Zak adores his girls.

It makes me feel so honored to keep them around. They are now expecting their second baby and I cannot even wait to meet him or her. My feeling is a second baby girl, but we shall see what their little peanut turns out to be (other than sweet and amazing haha).

Congrats to their growing family and thank you so much for allowing me to document your family year after year. I feel like I say this a lot, but it really does mean so much to me to see my families and brides and grooms again. I’m a crazy stalker and adore meeting the kids and watching them grow up. Keeping in touch really reflects how these people are more than “clients” (who likes that word anyway?!), they are friends and folks I enjoy being around. I bond with my brides and grooms beyond the casual business acquaintance, and it warms my heart to see them so happy. Happy, happy holidays Jess and Zak!

Sacramento Family Photography | Tara + Family in Granite Bay

I absolutely love family photography. There are so many sweet moments when families are together. It makes me very happy to photography children with their grandparents. I often get questions about extended family being present at a session, if it’s ok, if I will get a few images for them. The answer is always yes. I enjoy grandparents at newborn sessions, regular family sessions, maternity, anytime! Life is short and you never know how long you’ll have with your loved ones. If you want to include extended family in your photos – DO it! You will never regret having these memories. If you keep the session laid back, and focus more on the natural interactions (even in a portrait setting) you will have images to cherish for a lifetime.

Tara found me online and sent me a lovely e-mail about a family session at her parent’s home in Granite Bay. She and her girls were traveling from Canada for a visit and wanted to document the stay with some updated photographs. Her daughters were darling. I have to admit, I was immediately a fan of their spirit and gorgeous dark hair. The girls sang and danced, since they were with their grandparents they were especially affectionate. Grandma and grandpa fawned over them, completely enjoying the time they have with the girls. Living so far away must be challenging, however I could tell they made great efforts to see and get to know their grandchildren.

The light inside was beautiful and soft. Their home was perfect for photos, with large windows lining the walls. Once we moved outside the girls were able to properly play and run and dance. Sometimes a change of scenery is all a little one needs to get happy for photos.
