When I was asked to photograph a work friend’s family, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I was honored to capture this family as their twin boys prepared to move on from middle school and hit high school hard. There is no doubt in my mind how much this man adores his wife and kids, and […]

I love hosting Christmas. I put up way more trees than is probably necessary (like seven), and I have so much fun decorating and cooking for my loved ones. Since I was hosting my family again this year, I decided to set up a quick photoshoot to capture my family in their nicer clothes. While […]

I come from a relatively big family on one side and a pretty small family on the other. The one thing that I have been very fortunate to experience on both sides of my family is grandparents even great grandparents! My kids have also been lucky enough to have my grandma for their great-grandma! So […]

Fall is my absolute favorite. I am first in line at Starbucks when pumpkin spice comes back each year, and I would live in sweaters and leggings year round if the California sun allowed it. My front porch is covered in different pumpkin varieties and a sign that says, “fall is proof that change is […]

When I was asked to photograph Kaylyn and Stephen’s wedding next year, I was very nervous accepting. They are the dream couple- laid back, beautiful, and fun. The venue is gorgeous (the photos hardly capture the view). The time of year is my favorite. The lighting will be ideal. There was really no reason to […]

What to do on a rainy day when you have a photo shoot booked? I obviously cannot control the weather, but the stormy blue sky really made these two shine through the gloomy weather! We kept thinking that we might get a ray of sun to poke through our session, only to see the most […]

It’s not every day that it rains in September in California. It’s also not every day that I get to take pictures between the rain drops on a golf course either. If an outdoor shoot in the rain weren’t enough, we were up before the invisible sun this morning! This all lead to some serious […]

I had never been to Pt. Reyes prior to last night, and I sped home the two and a half hours so I could see these images on the computer. While our surroundings were gorgeous, the Hansen family made these photos pop like champagne. Their laughter and silliness were contagious, and I loved every minute […]

It was early, and it was almost cold for one of the first times all summer, yet these girls braved the elements (and fatigue) to get some pictures taken! They even brought me a Pumpkin Spice Latte, so really, I had no problems with the sunrise session (plus, it was kind of my idea). The […]

What better way to celebrate the end of summer than with a soak in the tub? I cannot get enough of the littles in a milk bath. While the big kids are going back to school this week in Rocklin where I live, why not spoil the baby with a milk bath? If your child […]
