There is something magical about a mama getting photographed with her kiddos. If your a mom, then you know, that you are often the one behind the camera capturing the many moments, smiles, laughter and tears of your littles. It’s not often that you get to be photographed capturing those same memories with them. I treasure those moments, weather its a selfie taken with my phone or weather I have hired a photographer to do it for me. Your kiddos will remember those moments with you. They won’t judge you for anything than what you are. You are their beautiful mama, with open arms, smiles and kisses. You are the… Keep Reading
Hometown Engagement Session
Last fall, when my friend Josh, (Childhood friends since birth? Our parents grew up together!), told me he was getting engaged I was thrilled. I was even more thrilled when he asked If I would photograph their engagement photos. I started dreaming of going down to Hunting Beach, the ocean and dreamy Southern California landscapes. I was happily surprised when Josh and Ryan wanted to come back home to Sacramento and take photos here. We happily planned for when they would be here during the holidays. The weather was amazing, and of course the iconic Sacramento scenery can’t be beat. We had a great time catching up and walking around… Keep Reading
“It’s Everything”
The actor Michael J. Fox has said “family isn’t an important thing. It’s everything” When my friend and favorite client asked me to take pictures of her family and her extended family I said absolutely. There is no other moment like the present to capture time with your family like now. Life changes quickly, and if we forget to capture it, then the moment, the laughter, the time shared with one another is just a memory weaved in your mind. capture the moments… the good… the silly… the awkward. Drag your family in front of a camera today. It doesn’t have to be mine, though if it is I would… Keep Reading
Summertime Engagement
These two kids just got married! So now is obviously the right time to blog their engagement session! In the story of them, Tyler said that he noticed Emily first. It reminds me of a quote from J.D. Salinger ” She wasn’t doing a thing that I could see, except standing there, leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.” May you continue to hold the universe together for each other. Happy Honeymooning! xoxo till next time
Summertime Bride
There is nothing like a cold, rainy, December night that makes anyone wish for the long warm days of summer. This beautiful bride will make you wish that summer was just around the corner… If you have never thought about doing a bridal session you should. Its a great time to showcase just you! I love this vintage gown, headpiece and jewelry. The pendant is a stunning one of a kind piece, made of fossilized coral.

Good luck and if you have any nurse questions… don’t hesitate to call! Till Next time… xoxo
Sacramento Fun
Sacramento has a lot of unique places, that are steeped in gold rush era history. “Old Sacramento” is one of those places. It is one of my favorite places to photograph because there are so many unique building, colors and alleyways. These kids were awesome! They put up with me running them back and forth across old town and kept me entertained the whole time! xoxo
Party of 3
Some of life’s biggest surprises are our children. They bring with them all of our hopes and joys for the future. The surprise is sometimes in their arrival, but mostly the surprise is watching them grow and figuring out whom they will become. Welcome to the world little one! And to you, beautiful mama, this image make my heart ache. It is love… tangible and real, captured forever through the lens. Till we meet again xoxo
Lucky Ducky
What happens when a wild duck decides to join your family session? Why you let him of course! You never know what fun creatures you will find on an outdoor session. Lizards? Yep! Deer? Double yep! Its always a bit of nature discovery. This little Mallard was a first for me though. Well, now that you’ve met the duck, meet the rest of this cool family. Katie is a lucky ducky herself. She has these 3 handsome fellas that keep her on her toes. Like any woman who has to contend with a house full of boys she is fierce and tough and strong. They are great qualities to have,… Keep Reading

Babies are always so special. Twins are twice the fun… or twice the trouble. I would know. I am myself one half of a boy and girl twin set. These two cuties, Ky and Kennedy, are in fact my niece and nephew. These two in fact belong to my twin! ( Twins run in the family, we have 2 more sets of boy/girl twin cousins also.) So, enjoy these cute faces, I know I do!
