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…

First of all I have to applaud Kim on her clothing choices for the family….I’m going to start having to give people her number if they want coordinating tips – in fact, I may call her to help out our family this year! Sly Park Lake made for a beautiful backdrop for these guys and was a nice change in location from Apple Hill. I’ve been working with The Eggertons since Reid was baby (and Captain Bubbles…but I digress), and I always love the energy they have as a family. I had a lot of fun trying to ‘capture the…

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…

Well, the last day of school has come and gone (again) and summer is now upon us. This year was bitter sweet as we wished many well who were retiring this year from Pinewood Elementary School. I arrived that day with the goal of documenting the last day of one teacher in particular, Charlie Ferris.  Charlie’s teaching career spanned 36 years, 24 of which were teaching kindergarten at Pinewood. It would be easy to underestimate Charlie with his calm demeanor, but as the saying goes: “still waters run deep”.  And it is a good thing given how many of us…

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…

What can I say – I love these guys! I feel like I have known Tony and Tara forever but it really has only been since their wedding in 2007. When Tara was pregnant with Zoe, they invested in a baby package which includes a minimum of 3 shoots over the course of Zoe’s first year and a super cool custom designed Baby Brag Book album which is a picture story documenting her first year! Zoe is such happy baby- just full of bright-eyed smiles- I think she only got sad once at the end of the session- she was…

This year my friend Kristi (Shotgun Photography) and I photographed each others family for holiday photographs. Here are the photos I took of her family last week at Boeger…What I can’t get over is last week it was fall…and now this week it is full blown winter. If any of you know Kristi, she is such a generous soul and a fantastic mom to boot! I think my daughter Ember would like to marry her son Nick some day but I hear there is a line! Enjoy girlfriend ~ no crying…ok?
