I Heart Faces│Beautiful Eyes │Sacramento Photographer

It's been awhile since I've participated in I Heart Faces themed challenges, but when I saw the theme this week was "Beautiful Eyes" I immediately knew which little beauty I'd submit.




Princess Isabella + Family

Princess Isabella has joined this Star Wars-loving, testosterone driven family and the boys...


 ...are LOVING it!

Tina + John have two amazing boys who are cute as can be and most definitely all boy, yet they couldn't be more thrilled with their beautiful new little sister and I've heard little Luke is so smitten he has been known to need his "baby fix" from sweet Isabella.  It's been wonderful watching as this family has grown and I was thankful to be able to capture a few images of them for my friend and fellow photographer Christina Harrison.

Looking forward to seeing as Princess Isabella shows the boys who's boss!

Best Laid Plans│Sacramento Family Photographer

"The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." - Robert Burns

It's nice when a client comes to me with a vision for their session, a plan.  They know what they want and this makes it much easier for us to work together in creating the perfect session.  That is, however, assuming there are no other people to get in our way.....

Alicia is a planner, one of my dearest friends, she is always on time with her day calendar in hand and I appreciate how she always seems so organized and put together - even despite having 3 kids under 6!  On the flip side, I've also seen her in the chaos of life and am in awe with how graciously and calmly she goes with the flow and makes the best of any situation. 

Fast forward to our session last month - Alicia knew she wanted a beach session and after scouting the area I found what seemed like the perfect sandy beach location.  Unfortunately we were under a heat wave and the beach during our mid-week evening session was still completely drowning in people!  Not exactly ideal when you're looking to create a beautiful family portrait on the beach...with just your family and no one else.  Alicia and Joe were fantastic though and easily went with whatever I suggested and I hope they're happy with what we came up with.  They have three incredible children and it was a blast seeing their loving (and mischievous) interactions with one another!

Stunning│Sacramento High School Senior Photographer

I've known Savannah's mom for a few years and have always appreciated how laid back and joyful she seems to be.  Our session with Savannah was more of the same, easy-going and lots of fun!  She chose a beautiful garden location and was up for the urban location I spotted along the way as well.  Savannah loves to cook with baking as her specialty, and I can see a very "sweet" future ahead for this stunning young woman!
