A New Little Brother! | Sacramento Newborn Photographer

 I adore this family! I met them back when I was baking beautiful cupcakes and discovered her love of my special red velvet cupcakes. Since then, we have captured special moments in time for their family, including big brother's mile stones, family images and maternity photos. And now... sweet big brother's special baby brother!! 

 This sweet baby boy is well loved and sooo adorable! A sweet little miracle to add to this beautiful family!

  It was so warm, we brought it outside for some easy going family shots. 

It's such a blessing to get to capture this family and I just adore doing it, so thank you, preciouss S family!

NYU Bound and Beautiful! | Sacramento Senior Photographer

I love photographing high school seniors. It is such an amazing time for them - a time of amazing independence to come and a whole life ahead of them. If you are a senior, call me soon to book your session! It's a great time to get them done and you will have plenty of time to get your announcements ready and your images and galleries up!

 It was so much fun with this beautiful senior, I must say. We began at her beautiful home and ventured out to a couple of locations that you just might recognize! It went by so fast, and I love the images we got. Now, she is getting ready for NYU and beginning the next chapter of her life! So exciting!

 Her beauty is evident inside and out. Her eyes are amazing, right?!

 She is so intelligent, sweet and just a beautiful dancer, too! I love this dancing sunflare shot we got!

 We stopped by Old Sac and made sure to get some Sacramento icons in some of our images!

 Best of luck at NYU and your new adventures! Thanks for letting me capture this most precious time for you!

Chic Critique Forum for entry into their "Photography Idol" contest. So much fun..I can't wait to see all the incredible entries. Check them out with me!

Fall 2012 Cover Contest Entry | Chic Critique

Chic Critique is having their Fall cover contest and I thought that this pretty image of  Miss H would be a nice fit. I love the colors and her beautiful eyes just make me smile :)

Love Is In the Air | Sacramento Couples Photographer

 I had the honor and pleasure of shooting an engagement session for this darling couple. I am also capturing their wedding in September and can't wait to see them tie the knot. They are amazing together, and individually, super neat people. Stay tuned next month for some unique and artistic wedding fun, but until then, enjoy the love that is in the air with Lindsay and Dale.

 I always love shooting couples. Capturing love is such a treat... and so easy to do! New love, even better!

 Love this one. They are a praying couple, depending on the Lord and their faith, and I love how this image shows it.

 She painted her nails her wedding colors. Love.

 I'm so looking forward to their wedding!! It is going to be so amazing. Thanks for letting me capture your love, Lindsay and Dale.

The Three Muskateers | Sacramento Family Photographer

 From the minute I got the call from beautiful Katie, I knew our session would be a treat. She had seen my work online and wanted to get some images of her and her two gorgeous sons. Their first portraits in TEN years!! I know. You are asking how they could have resisted being photographed over and over and over, right? I mean, look at these beautiful people!

 But she wanted them now and I'm so glad she called! We discussed wardrobe a bunch over texts and phone calls and it all turned out perfect. The session was a ton of fun and despite being devoured by mosquitoes at the very very end, everything was perfect.

 Again, how could it not be? Look at them :) But really, if you could meet Katie, you swear she is more beautiful on the inside than out. Truly, truly. This woman is an amazing mom, sacrificing so much for her boys and also puts a ton of work into charity. They adore her. She adores them. They are the three muskateers of modern day!

 And you might recognize the shot above if you have been to my studio or had an ordering session with me. Love.

 I love how we hit two different locations and, with a change of clothing, got some varied shots for their walls.

This final one makes me smile. Check out the sign! Yes, some definite eye "produce" for some "chicks" with these handsome fellas. Love it! My job is just awesome. Just sayin' :)

Small Frame, Big Character! | Sacramento Child Photographer

 I had the opportunity to capture sweet W for the third time in his life, and just loved every minute of it! He is ALL boy and full of just the most amazing spunkiness and character! We had our little mini session for the Cutest Kid Charity Contest for NILMDTS and he rocked it.

 Does he not just exude character?! I can totally visualize him as an adult with all the great expressions he was making!

 Watch out ladies!

 We shot our little session at my home, so I had to take a quick pause to capture what fascinated Mr. W.

 I can't wait to see him again and see what else he has planned for me!
