Tons of Fun | Sacramento, CA Family Photographer

 Oh my goodness, I had so much fun with this darling family! They were such a pleasure to work with and I am in love with their gallery. Each photo just makes me smile! Here is just a sampling, I am sure your smile is already well placed, big and wide for this one!

 This was a beautiful day at our location, but there were TONS of people! Many photographers, families and friends. I had to do a little magic to get the look we wanted without all the people in the background, and I think it was worth it! Interestingly, the ducks that are so often there, were not. Funny day.

 These girls adore their parents. And each other. It is just soo darn cute to watch and enjoy!

 Ah! Be still my heart. Such tenderness!

I thought this one was great for their grande finale :) Thanks so much, incredible "N" family, for making this profession of mine so dang enjoyable and blessed!!

Darling | Sacramento Family & Child Photographer

 I got to meet these two gorgeous brothers through mutual friends and what a pleasure it was! They are so sweet with each other and so stinkin' adorable, it was hard to leave! Check out the amazing hair these guys have! And the eyes and lashes are sure to steal a few hearts down the line...

 Why does it always seem that the boys get the amazing lashes?! Really, it hardly seems fair :)

 Just adore this last one. Sweet baby in the buff...be still my heart!

Lovin' to Pieces | Sacramento Newborn Photographer

I had the wonderful TREAT of capturing precious baby W on his eighth day of life on October 31st! he was such a good boy for me, too! He slept so well and was so darling, it was hard to leave.  I loved every minute and so enjoyed getting my little baby fix yet one more time!

 Mom and Dad are first time parents and utterly in love. Who could blame them? Check out this cutie pie!

Mom was so, so stunning and she shines from the inside out! She was actually my son's teacher last year. He was so nurtured, challenged and loved as her student and enjoyed being in her class so very much. This new little guy will have all that and so much more...how very blessed he is!

Just love these tender mom and babe moments...

Well, it was Halloween, so I had to bust out my orange blanket. It made me happy. I love orange!

I love the look of a babe in a cocoon. Be still my heart.

Thank you, sweet M family, for having me in to capture these special and fleeting moments for you.

Double The Fun! | Granite Bay Family Photographer

 I so enjoyed meeting this darling family with absolutely the sweetest twin girls on Saturday morning a few weeks ago. It was early early, but they were up for it and just so wonderful to watch. They clearly adore each other...almost as much as their doting parents adore them!

  You all were just a sweet blessing for my morning! Thank you so much for spending it with me and letting me capture this very special time in your lives. You all have a treasure in each member of your family and it's obvious you see that very clearly!

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!
