A-SESSION LOCATIONS- Sac Area

I first photographed these two a few years ago for their engagement session, and now here they are expecting their first little one. Nicole wanted to document the occasion with a session in their home. We started with some more intimate semi-nudes(and are keeping them off the blog for obvious reasons), and ended the session with the two of them in the park just down the street from their home. Thank you Nicole for letting me document this next milestone in your family! I can’t wait to meet him or her soon!

I had the privilege  of getting to spend over two hours with this baby girl last week. Little Miss Makena is just 8 days old here, and man is she sweet. Her name comes from the Hawaiian town where her parents were married. I could go on and on about how adorable this little one was, but instead I’ll let you decide for yourself. Looking forward to getting to see her again in the next few months. Congratulations Mom and Dad!

I love a man with a good sense of humor, and Jenn, you’ve got him. Dan kept us cracking up for the entire shoot. These two love the outdoors, which made the riverside location they chose perfect for the two of them. The entire shoot I felt like at any moment the heavens were going to open and it was going to start pouring on us, but Jenn and Dan must have better luck than I do because it never rained harder than a sprinkle. I can’t wait to see what these two have in store for their fall wedding…

I love engagement sessions and am happy to be moving back into the season for them. As a photographer- not only do I get to know the couple I will work with better as we earn a trust between each other- but it is also “no pressure shooting”…it’s a creative flow that you trust and follow without any wedding day pressure or schedules. Weddings have a certain flow to them, an almost routine-like schedule that has to be followed in order to make sure all the bases are covered. Engagement sessions on the other hand are a whole different story.…

Keith and Tiffany are expecting a baby and I know they are going to be fantastic parents. I first met Keith and Tiffany when they asked me to photograph their wedding back in August of 2010 in Grass Valley at the Harmony Lodge. I love working with these two (soon to be 3). They have a love for adventure and a warmth of spirit that just makes you want to spend more time with them. “Finn” is going to be a lucky little boy! We met up down by the river in Sacramento where the two of them hopped on…

About one week after I had visited them in the hospital, I made my way over to Ross and Kristy’s home to photograph the new family after they’d settled back in. Everyone, including their dogs just couldn’t seem to get enough of little Nathan. Ross had the idea of measuring Nathan against his 300mm lens, and I love how Nathan just had to stick his foot out to show Dad just how much bigger he was than that silly lens. I think a 400mm (and perhaps a matching “birth” ring) might be in your futures. Congratulations again you guys, I…

I first met Ross and Kristy several years ago for their engagement session. I loved getting to work with them and their daughter Kiki both for their engagement session and their wedding, and have since become friends. Ross has become my go-to tech guy over the years, and has even become a bit of a photographer himself (though he’d never admit it). He even helped me with my most recent workshop and has become a moderator of sorts on my Workshop Facebook Group. Recently- we were invited to go see Kiki play a soccer game and my daughters were very…

Jane is getting ready to head to Berkeley in the fall, and her parents wanted to make sure that not only did we capture some memories of their daughter at this important time in her life, but also some photographs of her at her piano. I really enjoy incorporating activities that are important to a senior into their session. Jane has been playing for years and it has truly become a passion for her. A few years ago I photographed her brother, Karl as he was heading off to college and I am so glad they asked me back to…
