Marysue and Ty helped us buy our first home about 10 years ago. If you are in need of some real estate help, we loved working with them. Contact them here at Coldwell Banker,  I can personally recommend them. As soon as Marysue contacted me I was excited to do whatever I could to help them out. They were playing host for all of Marysue’s brothers and sisters to celebrate their dad, Grandpa Boumann’s,  90th birthday. This sounds like a relatively easy task, just hosting a family birthday party right? That is until you hear that Marysue has 3 brothers and…

It seems fitting to me that this first post of 2011 is about a birth as it is also the first post of my newly created Facebook Fan page, another birthing of sorts. If you enjoy my photography, please become a fan of my page. Thank you. I love to photograph births. I’m not sure why. I mean of course, capturing the exact moment that life enters this world is fascinating, spectacular and amazing. Jaw dropping, really. Capturing all the raw emotions before, during and after- I’m energized by these types of unrehearsed moments. But after pondering it, I think…

After numerous days of rescheduling, I finally got to get out in what looks like may be the last sunny day of the year to photograph Jessica’s family. Dressed in holiday red, we strolled the vineyard capturing some sweet moments with her family. I thought Jess did a great job coordinating their clothes, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from her- she’s got a good eye for that! Merry Christmas Miller Family and thank you for the opportunity to do this for your family! Click here for a slide show from their session!

It’s not often that you get a family with 3 older boys that are okay spending an hour having their pictures taken. Spencer, Ethan, and Jared (aka Dude, Middle Man, and Little Man) seemed to enjoy themselves. I loved the “heart” of this family. They were just one of those families that was not only fun to be around, but seemed to enjoy each others company as well. Kudos Cheryl and Dennis. Thank you for having me!

Our family has known the Bartolos for many years now. Jeff and I often marvel at how lucky we have been to have had(and keep having) their daughters who are only a year or two apart each, to babysit our girls. First was Kalene, now is Samantha and hopefully Jacqueline will want to. We all laugh(on camping trips) that all of our friends have daughters, not sons. Funny. It looks like the trend(mostly) runs in the Bartolo families. When we originally planned this shoot (2 weeks earlier, in the fall…haha), we weren’t expecting all of the snow this early in…

I got a call from Starla a while back, to come photograph her family. She was brave enough to host 2o people for Thanksgiving and wanted me to come and grab a family shot while they were all together. I was surprised at how ‘with it’ they all seemed to be  (even with all of those little boys running around) and we were able to grab everything on the list of must have shots, and even had some time for some extras! I was so glad that I was able to capture Starla and her husband with their two dogs…

I’ve been working with the Anderson family for a good seven or eight years now- Jessica would remember:) . It was a challenge to figure out a location that they haven’t been to yet. We decided to trek down to Folsom, and shoot along the river for the evening. We spent most of the time just following the light, and the kids didn’t seem to mind being allowed to climb all over the rocks. We got some beautiful shots of the kids, and of the family. We decided to do a second mini session up at Boeger with Jessica in…

As I sit here at a friends home in Camino, using their power and internet connection, it is hard to believe that just last week was lovely fall weather. Kristina and her mother met me at Boeger for Kristina’s senior photograph shoot. Looking back, it was one of the last days of fall. I’m glad we got out when we did! Enjoy your blog teaser and slideshow, all of your proofs will be up soon! Here is your slideshow!

It seems like I’ve been working at Boeger a lot these days, but I can’t think of a better place to have shot the Poole family. The light was beautiful, the family was full of fun, and there was lots of space for the little ones to run around and have fun. These two were on their way to a date night at The Kitchen once my time with them was over ( I hope I didn’t get you guys too dirty!). The fall colors of apple hill made for a beautiful backdrop for these guys, and there’s nothing quite…
