Sacramento Birth Photographer

Over the years I have had the distinct honor of being trusted to photograph numerous births, many of which are with previous wedding clients. While Gia and Jeff are not previous wedding clients, they could have easily been as our connection upon arrival at the hospital was almost immediate. Perhaps that’s the “match making” prowess of my dear friend and client many times over, Tom who knew us all well enough to know we’d hit it off, and most importantly that his dear friends and coworkers, Gia and Jeff would be completely comfortable with me capturing this very special and…

Ahhh… the miracle of a birth. I always feel so incredibly honored to be a part of welcoming a child into the world and into a family.  There is so much unknown around the event – when exactly it will happen and how it will go – that when that tiny little ball of pink flesh arrives, it feels at once almost impossible and yet entirely natural. And so I found myself driving down the hill to Roseville after dad, Elmo, called me to let me know that his wife, Rebecca, had been admitted into Kaiser Roseville’s labor and delivery…

Welcome to the world, Carter! Born on September 24th at 10:56pm, Carter is the first child to Ashley and Aaron, a wonderful couple whose wedding I photographed almost exactly four years prior (Ashley and Aaron’s David Girard wedding) Carter was ten days past-due when Ashley was induced early in the morning. She seemed to be progressing fairly quickly and so I raced down to Folsom to be closer for Carter’s arrival. Like all babies, however, Carter was moving at his own pace and the timeline slowed down some. So I ran around Folsom taking care of errands (and even squeezing…

These images were made just three days after Baby Graydon’s birth which I had the honor of attending and photographing. New, newborn photography is so precious. New parents are so priceless. I remember the adventure and it’s fun to witness through the eyes of a rested mom(more rested anyway). I’m getting to shoot so many babies and families these days- I guess that’s what happens when many of your clients are from weddings. Tom and Bethany are gems as I imagine their new son Graydon will be too- he already is… This one cracks me up! I love this one,…

I’ve known Tom and Bethany since 2008 when we got together to do their pre wedding engagement session. We’ve been friends since and I was so happy to receive the call once Bethany’s pregnancy was official, that they wanted me to join them for the birth. Baby Graydon wasn’t expected to arrive until the end of August and as I tell my clients, I cannot schedule births in just the way they can’t schedule births. If I can be there I will be there. And it’s always such a joy to get the call that it is happening and that…

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…
