A-SESSION LOCATIONS- Foothills

Chip called me a few weeks ago- it seems his old friend and new sweetheart was going to be in town and it was important to him to capture the beginnings of their relationship. Chip and Shannon met at Chico State years ago and were instant friends. Both were involved in other relationships at the time but they confided in each other alot and gave each other advice. Well, they have kept in touch and now are both free explore a deeper friendship. Oh, did I mention that Chip is a photographer and that it is a bit intimidating to…

I had the chance to meet up with Sandi and Terry Friday night at Larsens Park in Camino. Sandi was Jaz’s second grade teacher. Jaz loved her- and so did we. We gave this session to her as an end of the year thank you gift. The light was beautiful, and so were these two! Thank you Sandi for making Jaz’s year in second grade such a fantastic one!

Sue and I used to exercise together with a bunch of other gals several(ok, a few more than several) years ago. I was thrilled when she called wanting to capture some photographs of her with her absolutely precious grand children, Kylie, Alyssa and Sarah. They were excited to be sharing this memory with Grammy! Enjoy this blog teaser, the rest of the images will be online shortly!

When you called me earlier this year to cancel your wedding, I tried to comfort you by letting you know that “you have all the time in the world to get married”. I had no idea that this was not true. Rest in peace Amy. We will all miss your free spirit and beautiful smile.

John & Elisha exchanged their vows at the beautiful Fausel Ranch in Placerville on a warm day in July. Ever have one of those couples that everyone you speak with that day has nothing but kind words to say about them-about how generous and fun loving the two of them are as individuals and together? It seemed this way to me…even heard a story about John driving up in a moment’s notice(over an hour away) because he heard his friend was working on building a deck by himself. Apparently he stayed till midnight helping. His friend said, “that’s just the…

David has been home schooled his whole life along with his older sister and brother Michelle & Daniel. David is the last of the Carlson kids that I get to photograph senior pictures for. He just graduated this year and plans on going to Folsom Lake for a couple of terms to figure out what he’d like to do in life. I like the way kids use college these days to sort stuff out rather than feel like they have to know what they will do for the rest of their life at eighteen years old. David writes historical fiction…

I photographed Ty and Tina’s wedding back in 2007 – and now look at them! A beautiful, happy, healthy, growing family. I absolutely adore Ty and Tina and their boys couldn’t be any cuter. These two are as in love as ever and it’s always so enjoyable to get to photograph seasoned, comfortable love. Aiden was so sweet in front of the camera… not shy at all. Well, except whenever we called him “Spicy” he’d get bashful and start laughing- it was the cutest thing! Ryland-happy bubbly little guy and super easy in front of the camera. Such an easy…

Brianna is going to be a biology major at Northern Arizona State this fall. She graduates from El Dorado High in a few short weeks. I love the late afternoon light at High Hill so we started off there. Brianna was fun and playful with the camera right off the bat. And trust me, the camera loves Brianna! After a few locations around High Hill we took off to another Camino location looking for “some field” also in the late afternoon sun. White dress, beautiful girl, glowing field…I love my job! Congratulations Briana on your upcoming graduation! Click here for…

My good friend Julie referred the Ito family to me and I can’t thank her enough. As it turns out, Sara’s son Logan and my daughter Jaz are in the same 2nd grade class. It is so great to meet yet another cool local family and the Ito boys could not possibly be any cuter. I tell you, it was good exercise chasing them around too! I really enjoy Sara too- she told me to take all the time I needed to get her photographs online(after I explained about some tight senior deadlines I had), but was quick to also…
