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.

Sacramento Family Photographer | Reagan and her horse

Reagan loves her horse. This pony belonged to her mom, Jamie, and this old boy is 25 years old. Jamie wanted a photography session with her family to document their time with him. We met at Jamie’s parent’s home near the river in Sacramento. After loading up the trailer we headed out to one of her neighbor’s sunflower fields (which was beautiful and quiet first thing in the morning). Reagan ran around and played while Richard worked on getting the horse ready for his photoshoot.

I was so excited to photograph Reagan and her family this year. I had the pleasure of meeting Jamie and Richard years ago for their engagement and wedding, and maternity and newborn photos of baby Reagan. We also saw goats, Reagan wanted to go see the goats, and the walk down to see them was so peaceful. Reagan led her horse and marched us down the dirt road which was amazing for photos. Plus goats. Who doesn’t love a cute goat. The last time I saw this family Reagan was a newborn, so it was awesome to catch up and spend some time getting to know her. She is spunky, bright, and charming. She won my heart over by wanting to hold my hand and show me all around her grandparent’s neighborhood. I was sad to leave, this was definitely a morning well spent.

Sacramento Family Photographer Day-in-the-Life | The Kroskeys in Roseville

What is a “Day in the Life” session? It can be less than a day, maybe a couple hours, maybe half a day. A “Day in the Life” session is in-home. It is intimate. The kids are happy and mom and dad can fully relax knowing they are in the comfort of their house. This year I am offering in-home sessions where I spend time really watching a family do their thing, be themselves, and have fun doing the things they do as a family everyday. I met Christa and Brian at their home near Sacramento, in Roseville. I spent a couple hours with them and their daughter, Ellie.

Christa is an amazing person and has a lovely kindness about her. She is always checking in and is one of those people who stays connected. Christa genuinely cares about those in her life and it is always fun to catch up and see what’s going on in their lives!

I have had the pleasure of meeting this family years ago, when I photographed their engagement, wedding, maternity, and newborn. I saw Ellie at her one-year session, and watched her change from a sweet baby to an ever sweet toddler. They now have an adorable little girl in the center of their world, and it was an honor to document them at home. She skipped her nap the day of the session and loading her into the car and out for a shoot would have been stressful on her and her parents. Everyone was at ease with the session at home.

Ellie loves to read (or pull books off the bookshelves) and sat quietly looking through her picture books in her room. They ran and played and tickled her, which she loves and laughed nonstop. We sat outside on their porch swing and Ellie smiled and giggled at her dad. Brian absolutely melts when he’s around his daughter and there’s nothing better than a strong daddy-child bond. When Ellie got tired, we headed back inside for some more snuggles before I said my good-byes for the evening.
