Sacramento children’s photographer

Four generations of the Johnson Family gathered in Sacramento this past Easter weekend. We met up at Charles C. Jensen Botanical Gardens in Fair Oaks to capture some photographs of them all together since it had been a while. Let’s just say with five kids five and under, we all had our hands full but I think we got some great shots. Kudos to Brittany for organizing this photo session as it can be hard to add more to your plate when you have a young family. More to come from this one but here are some of my favorites.…

Graydon is growing like a weed. Having met him for the first time at his birth, I’m so grateful to get to check in on him annually and the things that make this eleven-year-old, tick. In fact, this is my tenth session with Graydon. Though this session did not include it, I understand that he is a star and fierce competitor in All-Star Karting. It’s something he’s been enjoying for a long time as his dad Tom is big into fast cars:) I plan to head out to the track so I can witness it for myself. Tom shared with…

Baby Robles will be making their debut this March so it was a perfect time to get out in the sunshine and capture some pre-arrival photos. The ground was still a bit muddy from all of that rain we had- but we managed to keep Caitlyn’s cute boots fairly clean. Caitlyn and Elijah come referred from some dear friends of mine so it’s always great to get that call. This was a new location for me so we walked around looking for the sweet light- and there was lots to be found. I’m so glad that they chose a package…

When someone says, “What do you do for a living?” one might think that “Photography” would be my answer but lately, with all these seasonal family sessions I think more appropriately, “chasing kids” would be more descrip. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not alone in my chase, my assistant Ember, who kids love, works pretty hard on these sessions and certainly, mom and dad, too. Bottom line, I love lively kids that are full of spunk and will do whatever it takes to get the shot! A session with Gia and Jeff and their gorgeous, growing family is becoming…

Well, I got to meet cute lil’ Texas for the first time as he entered this world. Seriously.

Alright- it seems I am on a roll these days with cute babies. Or maybe it is just those bright eyed, “the world is my oyster” smiles that captivate my heart and imagination? Whatever it is…keep it coming. I’m having a great time! It has been a few years now capturing the Moreland crew. It’s one of the favorite parts of being a photographer; getting to experience and record these incredible life changing moments and often, if I’m lucky, year after year too. I know them, we’ve worked together many times, We have already built a rapport; at a session, I’m familiar with their…

I’ve been watching Taylor and Ryan grow at basically the same rate as my own kids. You see, our children are about the same age and I have been photographing the Anderson family, annually since Ryan was an infant- perhaps for 9 or 10 years now? Jessica and Bret are so great about making time for this every single year despite their crazy schedules. They don’t even need to explain a cancellation/rescheduling as I’m living that same life too- kids running in various directions, working parents doing the same, soccer soccer soccer, family in town for a visit, I remember stitches one year,…
