Folsom Family Photography | Amy + Family in Sacramento

I met Amy and her family on a foggy, gorgeously cool fall day. We were introduced on an online photography forum. I always get nervous when I photograph someone who also photographs families. Amy and her family were absolutely amazing. She has an incredible love for her children. It was a very peaceful, beautifully candid session, with the quietness of the fog and the kids playing. The children explored and roamed around the trails. We saw deer and squirrels. The fog made the morning quiet.

This family wanted holiday photos for their card. I loved their easy going nature with each other. It makes everything flow so smoothly when parents can fully relax and let go, allowing their children to be themselves. I captured the sweetest moments between siblings. Their oldest daughter has such a special connection with the baby of the family, and she gives sweet hugs and love. It was awesome to capture that for Amy.

We ran and talked and laughed and generally enjoyed the morning. The foggy air poofed our hair and really made some magic in the photos. I loved everything about this family and wish them the very best in their new year together!

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 Photographer | Sophie in Brentwood

I absolutely adore this family. Fatima and Stephen’s sessions have been some of my all time faves. Their wedding (and all of our photography sessions since) have been awesome. Fatima and Stephen and their kids are the best. Sophie turned one, so I had to photograph them again! This time I drove out to Brentwood to photograph this sweet girl at home.

Fatima absolutely adores her family and it shows. She has so much pride in both of her children. Tima is a wonderful, loving, and very attentive step-mom to Slater. Slater is the most polite, well behaved, and sweetest boy. I love hearing all about the newest snakes in his pet collection and how he’s doing in school. Sophie is a doll. She smiles and smiles for miles. I cannot get enough of her dimples. Her parents and brother are so in love with her and it shows.

Tima and Stephen have built a very happy home together. Their whole vibe is calm and loving and I always feel so at home around them. One of the best parts of my job is meeting new people I truly care about and love. I enjoy chatting with Tima and Stephen, I love getting updates on the kids. It warms my heart to follow their family on social media and over texts. Finding new friends who invite me into their home for photography and good conversation is amazing and if my career can do that, it is a win win win.
