The Way I View...Fatherhood│Sacramento Family Photographer

The Way I View....Fatherhood.  These images are all from our recent family vacation - I loved capturing these moments between the kids and my husband.

Head on over to Celeste's blog to see how she views fatherhood.

These next two images include my own father as well (in the kayak on the right):

Hiking in Mariposa Grove amongst the Giant Sequoia trees

A little pool time fun... 

**It may look like this father favors his daughter, but it was more that our son didn't care to be in ANY pictures on this trip** :)

A Little Love...│Sacramento Family Photographer

...Chloe Love that is!  This little cutie pie will be turning 1 in just a couple of weeks and I had to share this session of she and her gorgeous parents.  It was a cold and dreary day weather-wise but we had a great time at our session keeping Chloe warm, chatting about all the people around (it may not look like it but it was a busy day at the park!) and capturing some family memories.

Chloe was entranced by mama's pretty necklace...

 

Chloe and her closest friends...

Thanks guys for another lovely session...looking forward to next time! 

 

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!

I Heart Faces│Soft and Sweet

I Heart Faces's theme this week is "Soft and Sweet" and I thought this one of my boy would suffice:

When I married my husband I married his amazing family as well.  Here is a little peek from last Fall of my adorable niece and nephews and my gorgeous sister and brother-in-law, we are so blessed to call them neighbors as well!

Teaching Hands │ I Heart Faces│ Sacramento Photographer

This week's theme at I Heart Faces is "Anything But A Face".  How ingrained we become to look and seek for images with faces in them, highlighting the eyes, the smile, the emotion found in the face, but how much we miss when we don't take into consideration all the other parts that make up who we are.  

True beauty is often found when we look beyond the perfect portrait, when we see the simple truths taught from generation to generation.   Simple truths like where orange juice comes from.  Simple, beautiful truths like how great it feels to work together.

This is my entry this week - a shot from today of my father teaching my daughter how to juice one of the oranges from his tree.  Go see the other fantastic entries at I Heart Faces.
