Beautiful golden sunset? Check.
Crazy fun family? Check.
I love when people show up ready to party for their family sessions. Like, let loose, hair flying around, let the kids play, good times. These are definitely my favorite kind of folks!
I met Danielle through this wonderful career called photography. She is a super awesome photographer in the Sac area. She has even shot a wedding with me in Tahoe (thank you again Danielle!) I love the community of photographers here in town. Working as a self employed artist can feel like living on an island, so when I meet fun people like Danielle I get really happy.

She and her family met me for sunset photos to capture some images showing who they are now. Her lively crew hiked around the hillside with me and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the kids entertain us all! They really do love each other. I recommend letting the kids run around and I find they respond best to me subtly directing them into position and encouraging natural interactions. If they feel stifled they most often rebel 😉 Relaxed parents are awesome. This always makes for the very best photos. My no-tantrum, no tears, no fuss method is basically “let it be” like the Beatles said. Or “let it go”? One or the other is what works! Taking family photos is supposed to be fun and I enjoy spending time with your kids.

Sacramento Family Photographer | The Norman Family in Seattle
A while back I wrote about my experience teaching at a photography conference in Seattle for Clickin Moms. As part of the conference I taught two classes on capturing people outdoors, showing joy in couple’s photography, and indoors capturing sessions in low light using the light you’ve got! I had the extreme pleasure of seeing some old friends again…a bride and groom from years ago! Seth and Marcela agreed to meet with me and brought along their little one year old son, who I haven’t seen since his newborn session last year. I was so honored they took time out of their busy schedules to model for my class and hang out while I talked and talked about light and shadows. Thank you so much for helping me out!!
Here are some of the images I took while sitting on the hotel conference room floor with this fun family. You never need a beautiful backdrop or fancy home to get meaningful and emotive imagery, it is all about connection and light.
One behind the scenes, towards the end of the class little E fell asleep 🙂 the ladies in my class went crazy for this sweet boy and couldn’t help getting some shots of him in his mama’s arms!
