Class of 2012 - Caleb: Class Rep For LSP | Sacramento Senior Photographer

Meet Caleb, another one of my incredible senior reps. We did our shoot some time ago, but alas, here he is in his full glory on my blog. I was so happy to go out and shoot with him and so very pleased he brought along his guitar. This senior is very talented, participating in student government, music, a band, and drama all the while keeping up his grades, working part-time, being very active in his church and being a great friend, brother and son. He's got a lot on his plate, to say the least.

But he holds himself up with integrity and honor and I so appreciate that. It shows in his smile and his countenance.

Caleb rocked it...literally! I think this next image is going on his first album :)

And this is the smile every mother loves to see ...

As luck would have it, we found this perfect purple wall right where we were shooting!

Congrats, Caleb. I know it's a busy time, but you have the faith and determination to get through it all! Just remember to keep having fun!!

Watch out ladies...

BFFs | Folsom Family and Child Photographer

It has been busy around here...blessed and busy! As it is, it seems that this beautiful session slipped on by in my folders and I haven't shown it to all of you! This wonderful gal pictured won a session that I auctioned at a fundraiser for Cristo Del Rey High School. She was sweet to call and make it all about her daughter and one of her daughter's best friends. But you know I had to capture of few of her, too!

These gals have been friend since they were little, and it was so neat to see how they clicked..how they were just two peas in a pod together. They requested a jump shot, saying they were "experts" at it. I think I may have to agree!

So so pretty...loved the light that gently cascaded them...

Yes, they rocked it together!

At the end of the session, I suggested cooling off and that's what they did! I love it!

Two peas in a pod? Or Charlies Angels? Well, there was one bestie that couldn't make it, which would have made this image even more complete.

Thanks for letting me capture your friendship and your love!

Keepin' it Rollin' | Sacramento Family Photographer

It was so much fun to deliver this order to my amazing clients yesterday! This family was so much fun! They heard of me through an auction for which I donated a session to benefit Cristo Rey High School.  It's a college preparatory high school for urban young people with limited educational options. They were not the actual winners of the session but I think we all won with this session! I had so much fun meeting this family and hanging out with them.  I adore how the images came out and was blessed to hear they did, too!

Are these kids gorgeous, or what?! Seriously, those eyes. Watch out, Mom and Dad!

And now we see where they get those good looks!

The rolled on over in this amazing car. It has 10,000 miles on in and it was born in the early 1970's. Amazing. It has been in the family for some time and with the way they take care of it, it will be for many more! I loved including this little piece of their family history in the shoot.

Thanks again, sweet S family! Looking forward to Senior pictures next year and many more years to come!

Class of 2012 - Beautiful Miss T | Sacramento Senior Photographer

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to go out with this lovely high school senior and her mom to capture her in this amazing time of her life! She had so many adorable looks, it was hard to choose, but here are some of my favorites!

This shot below has a neat story behind it. While mom was away for a moment, I shot a few of Miss T with some beautiful light behind her. I loved them. Mom didn't see these until the gallery, and I was thrilled to here they were among her favorites. The image below actually looks like an image taken of Miss T when she was two. They showed me the image, and it's so neat to juxtapose them! It was one of her all time favs and now she has this one to put by it, 16 years later! I love that!

Love this shot with the neat Ziggurat in the background!

Thanks again for letting me capture these special moments and time of your life!
