Emily│Class of 2012 {Sacramento Senior Photographer}

Eleven years ago she was my adorable little flower girl in the pretty yellow dress, today she is a senior in high school getting ready to take on the world!  Emily is such a talented artist with a beautiful and loving personality that draws people to her.  Athletic and funny, my children love spending time with her and we've been blessed to spend a few summers vacationing with her family as well.

I hope you like your images from our beach side session - I'm so glad we were able to sneak it in while on vacation this year!

Emily's friend Bailey was along for our session and this made it all the more fun!  I encourage seniors to bring a friend along as it can loosen things up and make the session an even more enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone!

 

Fall Holiday Family Sessions {Sacramento Family Photographer}

What to Wear│August 2011

Back-to-School Custom Portrait Mini Sessions

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!
