Birthday Beautiful! | Sacramento Boudoir Photographer

 I love that everyone has a different definition of beautiful. Personally, I believe that true beauty radiates from the inside out. That is why I love photographing women. There are so many different kinds of beauty and its so neat to capture it to show them how beautiful they are!

 This is one of my amazing clients at our Boudoir Boutique II.  She jazzed up her session with dresses and skirts with tops and she rocked the beauty!  I love that we took glamour to a new level. To me, the images are amazingly beautiful, and sexy, too!

 I wanted to post these for her since it's her birthday week and she should get to experience all the beauty life has to hold. Happy Birthday, beautiful Mrs. D! I hope this next year is filled with more beauty and love than you can imagine!

Mom's Angels | Sacramento Family Photographer

It was such a pleasure to capture these three beautiful sisters! I just love how beautiful they each are in their own individual way. They each are so different from the other and I love that there are three beautiful shades of gorgeous hair represented in one amazing set of girls! How fun is that!

The were so fun to hang out with and it became clear how wonderfully unique each girl is. I think they really had fun rockin' it out like supermodels, too. Didn't they rock it?! Seriously, these angels of moms were just so fun to shoot.

Each girl is very involved in her passion, and it is great to see. I love motivated young people. It is inspiring and beautiful. These girls are on their way to the top, and they are humble while heading there!

I could have spent days capturing them, and they were so fun together, it would have been easy to do.

Thanks for letting me get a glimpse into your family! I had so much fun and I loved seeing your finished images!

Birthday Girl! | Sacramento Child Photographer

 It was such a pleasure getting to meet this sweet 4 year old and her family out at Capitol Bowl for her 4th birthday! The location is newly renovated and was a great location for her special day. I loved seeing her smiling face the entire time. At one point while I was photographing her, she looked up at me with those big, gorgeous brown eyes and said, "I am having so much fun!". Well, that just made my day. It was wonderful seeing her and her family and friends enjoying themselves. That's what a celebration should be all about!

 I loved that we could steal outside to get some special shots with the family and of Sweet E alone.

  Mom was so clever with her favors and the cake was done so perfectly by the Nugget. Miss E was certainly thrilled with her day and I am so glad I was able to be there to capture it!

What to Wear : Spring! | Sacramento Family Photographer

Clients are always wondering what to wear and I love helping them design their session with me! It can be a daunting task dressing everyone for the shoot, I know! I have been there! But I have lots of helpful tips and tricks here on the blog, on my website and in my wonderful little welcome packet that I send to each of my fabulous clients. I thought I would add a little extra Spring what to wear guide today to get the juices flowing and to get you all excited about your upcoming sessions! Here is a fun example of coordinating, but not matching. Personally, I would also recommend adding a bit more layering and texture, like a scarf, hat, etc. to add a bit more to the look. Love the colors here and how they POP!

I hope you find this helpful, and, as always, I'm here to help! Have a great week!

I am an UnDfind Featured Photographer!

It was so fun to be featured on the UndFind blog this week! 

 I love my new lens bags from UndFind. They are so comfortable and protect my camera equipment very well. I am privileged to be one the first to own these bags and I highly recommend them. If you like something lightweight and extremely comfortable while shooting, try these bags! They have the waist shooter (shown on my in the images above) as well as the larger One bag that is a larger lens bag as well as a convertible laptop bag. And please go check out my feature on their blog while you are at it! Be sure to check them out here!  Happy Shooting!

Their Three Sons | Sacramento Family Photographer

 It was so great to meet this beautiful family and capture them enjoying each other on this fabulous day! The lighting was just so perfect and these three boys brought it. Their smiles were super infectious and it was neat to see them hanging out together.

  I really love when I get to meet new families. I feel very privileged, actually, to get a little glimpse inside their lives and their love. This precious mom called me and said she found me on the internet. I asked her what appealed to her and she said that the clip of me on TV just made her feel at ease and that she loved my images. She thought that her three sons would feel comfortable with me. Well, I have to say, that just made my day!

I always think it's a great honor to get to be a  part of capturing a spot in time together that they will never forget. They have these memories that will last forever and I got to be there. Lucky me :)  Thank you, R family, for allowing it.

 

Business Beautiful | Sacramento Business/Commercial Photographer

 

  I had the pleasure of taking some business head shots for this beautiful woman. She is an amazing Clinical Psychologist and is starting a new practice here in Sacramento. It was such a pleasure getting to know her better and see that her natural smile goes so perfectly with her amazing heart to help others in need.

Thanks, Amy, for entrusting me with these images for you.  You are beautiful, inside and out!
