Melissa and Eric are expecting little Joscilyn any day now. In fact, I just tried to call Melissa to see how she was doing and her mailbox was full… hmmm…..sounds suspicious- I can almost hear that first cry to the world! Thankfully the weather finally cleared up long enough for us to squeeze in a maternity shoot for them before she arrived. Their only request for the session was a field, and thankfully I knew a family kind enough to let us borrow theirs for the afternoon.  They brought along their new puppy, Ari Gold, for the shoot, who seemed…

This all day, beginning-intermediate workshop will be taught by Lisa Richmond on April 10 in Camino, CA and hosted by Kim and Bob Little. There are a few spaces still left. My goal is to keep this workshop small for more one on one with each student. The workshop includes a 50 page workbook and the time will be divided between in the classroom and out in the field practicing what is being learned using “people” as models. Field time will include both observation and “hands on” experience setting up shots, and using drills to practice your camera settings. Images…

Well, I can finally say I am done till 2011. Well, almost. Again, being “done” lately seems to rest on someone or something else- this time, Comcast. I would have been done yesterday except with this fabulous mountain living (I really do love it except for the inconvenient storms and effects), we lost our internet service again! As I sit here and wait for them to show up to fix it so that I can post these final images of the season, and get my family out the door to go skiing….I think that my husband is pacing… 🙂 ,…

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!

Anna and I met Macy and her mom and sister down at Boeger. Coming down from Pollock Pines, it’s amazing to me that it is still fall “down the hill”. Being from even further down the hill, they wanted an Apple Hill backdrop. Macy, a natural beauty with those ever changing blue/ green eyes was fun to shoot. Her mom wanted to get a few with her sister too so I photographed a few individuals while Macy was changing outfits. It’s always fun to photograph sisters. Congrats Macy on your upcoming graduation.

What a cutie and so full of life! Sue, Aiden’s grandma called me to document this milestone in his life. I love to photograph little ones exploring the world around them. Happy Birthday Aiden! I’ll have the rest of your proofs up early next week-

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…
