A-SESSION LOCATIONS- Sac Area

Ah, I love this family. I don’t even think I have space to list all the wonderful opportunities I’ve had to share in and capture their story but I know I’m blessed to be able to have done so.  And so, after weddings and births and an exciting new house purchase, we’re already at baby Nyron turning 8 months old. Which means crawling and moving and nibbling on anything he can get his chubby little hands on. We started our session at the family’s new home in Cameron Park and moved on to Cameron Park lake for some outdoor shots.…

Phyllis is the mom of my friend and long-term client, Jessica. Jessica and her family have been in front of my lens countless times in the last decade. But this time it was her mom’s turn as she reached the milestone age of 80. A former dancer, Phyllis knew she was having a party but didn’t know where, so she was not only surprised but thrilled when her celebration brought her to Arthur Murray dancing school in Folsom.  There was a dance exhibition and lessons available for those brave enough to step out onto the floor and an amazing spread…

Ohhh the cuteness! Little Freya, daughter of my long-time clients Tiffany and Keith, has made it to the one year mark. I got to photograph her, her parents, and older brother, 3 year old Finn, on some walking trails in Orangevale recently – the last in our baby package sessions. It’s hard to believe that it’s a year ago that I was there at her birth! Sometimes I forget what it was like to have two young children, the constant attention needed, the energy to chase them down and entertain them but sessions like this always remind me. Tiffany and…

Casey is one! And adorable and adored by her parents, Katrina and Joe, plus older siblings, Jordan and Shayla. The family purchased my baby package to document Casey’s first year, beginning with a maternity session, and this was their last session before I put together their one year memory album. It seems almost impossible that it was a year ago that I arrived 5 minutes late to photograph Casey’s birth. One minute Katrina was 4cms dilated and then the next Casey was already with us. I couldn’t believe how quickly she zoomed into the world and that I had missed…

Ahhh… the miracle of a birth. I always feel so incredibly honored to be a part of welcoming a child into the world and into a family.  There is so much unknown around the event – when exactly it will happen and how it will go – that when that tiny little ball of pink flesh arrives, it feels at once almost impossible and yet entirely natural. And so I found myself driving down the hill to Roseville after dad, Elmo, called me to let me know that his wife, Rebecca, had been admitted into Kaiser Roseville’s labor and delivery…

Alright- it seems I am on a roll these days with cute babies. Or maybe it is just those bright eyed, “the world is my oyster” smiles that captivate my heart and imagination? Whatever it is…keep it coming. I’m having a great time! It has been a few years now capturing the Moreland crew. It’s one of the favorite parts of being a photographer; getting to experience and record these incredible life changing moments and often, if I’m lucky, year after year too. I know them, we’ve worked together many times, We have already built a rapport; at a session, I’m familiar with their…

A part of my website that describes some little anecdotes from my years as a photographer states, “The sight of a Tacoma extended cab, packed to the gills with mountain bikes and kayaks, lights a fire to my imagination. Their truck in my driveway, Tiffany and Keith brought me the promise of adventure, fresh scenery, and an attitude I love.” Tiff and Keith. Since 2009 and their pre-wedding engagement photographs, this has held true. I love this “fresh scenery” and getting to work and play with all of them year after year. A Nevada City wedding, 2 births, some bike riding maternity shots and riverside…

Julianne and Daniel chose to get married on 12-13-14 at Haggin Oaks Golf Club in Sacramento. This was the last sequential day for 20 years and also the anniversary of their first meeting at MIX, a dance club in Sacramento, where Julianne decided to passed along her phone number to Daniel. They texted all night long and well, the rest is history. Julianne told me early on that they are both laid back and that the most important thing at the end of the day is that they are “husband and wife”. They were so grateful that they got to celebrate with their family and…
