Northern California Family Photographer

It was so wonderful to get out one late afternoon with the Mulholland family and capture some new memories in the daisy field at the end of the lake. I admit that it was pretty hard to take a bad photograph of those four “pretties”. I’m honored to be able to do this for you all and admire your family strength. Peace Mulholland family! Your complete gallery will be up in a few days!

I’ve known Tiffany and Keith since 2009. I’ve been there from their wedding to the birth of their son, Finn. I can’t believe Finn is now 6 months old, and boy is he handsome! We met at their house in Sacramento to capture their every day life with their new addition. From the swing in the front yard to the pool in the back, Finn was a happy camper. And you can tell he gets his love for the water from his momma- I think he could have stayed in that pool all night long. Of course no photography shoot…

I’ve known the McVey Family pretty much since I moved to Pollock Pines in 2000. I remember Sue being over at my house with her kids who were maybe 4 and 6 at the time and me being amazed that children could actually play together, clean up after themselves and take instructions. Of course, I had a 2? year old at the time and it seemed like it might take forever to get there. It didn’t. I have photographed their family a few times over the years but with Keagan heading off to high school, I think Sue was feeling…

Nathan is growing like a weed! I always love finding new places to photograph but not as much as I love spending some time with the Hayashi family. It’s great getting to watch it all happen and stay in touch over the years! Baby Nathan is now 8 months old and Kiki is 12. This family loves a little soccer so what better than a photo shoot at the Kalithea Park in El Dorado Hills- really, the view from the soccer field doesn’t get any better- a high-end soccer field, if you will. Kiki is a fantastic soccer player so…

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!

Finally I was lucky enough to shoot the Wagner family!  With Jakob heading off to a new chapter of his life…High School…it seemed like a perfect time to capture some fun, family moments.  Larsen’s Park, and the springtime weather made for a wonderful backdrop.  I always enjoy getting to work with local families.  Thanks you guys – Enjoy your preview!  Your entire gallery should be up by Friday.  

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!
