Sacramento Child Photographer

It is definitely one of my favorites things to get to document the growing families of my previous wedding couples as they move through life, and John and Elisha’s Lil Miss Teagan is no exception. What a doll- eyes so bright and a smile to melt your heart. Thanks guys for venturing up the hill and sharing a beautiful winter day at Boeger Winery. The only thing we were missing was Madi! Just let me know when the four of you are headed this way and we’ll make sure to get some shots of Madi and Teagan. Hey- before you…

I have the best job. And, it’s the people that I work with that are most responsible for that. Yes, of course, I live for “creative flow” but without those folks that always warm your heart, I wouldn’t be sitting here while there is a mountain full of snow just up the hill. Ok, not exactly true, I’m a blue bird day skier…In the storm, I’d rather be here right now with my tunes cranked loud and my fire the same, editing photographs that I know are going to make my friends, Tom and Bethany smile. At least I’ll be…

After watching Tiffany and Keith exchange their vows to each other, and then getting the honor to witness Finn entering the world, it seemed only right to get to spend the morning photographing him on his first birthday. What a treasure he is. How can you not smile looking at his? I brought a little gift for Finn that we all enjoyed while watching his unencumbered enthusiasm. Spending time with these three always makes me feel grounded and happy. How cool is that? Enjoy your blog teaser….the rest will be up in a few more days! Happy Holidays!  

It’s always great to have family photographs taken at your own home. It’s a wonderful way to remember your first house, the house where your kids grew up, or the house you grew old in. And it’s great for me when the property is as beautiful as the Coyle Family’s is. Our day started out great! Mari must have planned afternoon naps perfectly because her beautiful boys, Emmett and Max, were all smiles for their photo session together in the rocks of their front yard. As the sun was setting behind them, the light was perfect and I couldn’t stop…

Capturing the height of fall with the McCann family at the beautiful Boeger Winery, we were so glad that we also hit a beautiful, sunny day!  It is especially hard for parents of this age group to get it all together, cleaned, ward-robed and to the shoot on time, that I commend Reiko for booking early and giving herself plenty of time to find some cute clothing. As it sometimes goes with these sessions, especially the ones you plan way ahead for:) Hailee fell on the playground a few days before our shoot and scraped up her face so we…

Have you ever noticed that when you are young it seems like forever to age just one year?  As my daughter Ember turns 8 next week, from 7 years to 8 years old can seem like an eternity- just ask her.  Well, I know Kristy and Ross have most likely aged a bit in this last year chasing the most fabulous, adorable and spunky Nathan around. LOOK at that face! In fact,  I’m sure I probably aged a year just in chasing him for the afternoon. All kidding aside. Can a year really have gone by that fast? I added…

Well, our initial shoot got rained out, in Camino, in the summer…can you believe it? We met down in EDH a couple weeks later to capture this little lovely who is absolutely adored by her parents…can you tell ? Really, Makena is a complete doll and this was her 2nd of 3 shoots in her baby package. I’m sure before we know it she’ll be smashing that first birthday cake! Enjoy Kelly and Chase – the rest of her gallery will be posted earlier next week! (below) “What you talking ’bout Willis?”

I remember the call I got from Negar, a prospective client about 7 years ago. They had recently moved to the area and were looking for a photographer to capture their family memories. I remember I was cruising the back country roads on a gorgeous spring day between Chapel Hill, NC and Chatham, VA on my way to a shoot. I put my headset on and had a wonderful conversation getting to know the Jamali Family and what was important to them. I remember being a little surprised when she called back and hired me-I guess that is a natural…

Ahhh, lil’ Miss Allison brought along her awesome butterfly guitar to use for the shoot, and she even played us a few chords for us. The fall colors of the vineyard looked beautiful with the yellow dress that her mother brought along for her. Love a little girl, full of life, personality and music! The Keller family was the winner of the photo session gift certificate I donated for the Boatman Family community fundraiser we had up here last month. Your entire gallery will be posted tomorrow!!
