Families

Todd and Linda were a first for me. They are looking to adopt a newborn to 5 year old in the near future, and needed some fun photographs taken of the two of them to use for their adoption profiles. Linda has grown children of her own, and now after 16 years of marriage, they want to become parents together. We started off at Boeger Winery in Placerville, and then ended the session at their house playing with the puppies that Linda breeds. Thank you Todd and Linda for choosing me to help you on this journey of yours, and…

Thank you to the Haus family for having me down to their home in Pleasant Valley to capture their family in photographs. Their boys were so sweet and did such a great job on the shoot, especially given the length of it. As a photographer, you just have to keep the kids moving around. We spent some time by the creek, by the neighbors daffodils and out in this great field as the sun went down. Enjoy your slide show!

These photographs were taken at the request of the Mulholland family. Move slowly and joyfully through your life. Soak up each and every moment. You have time. Love your children.

Marysue and Ty helped us buy our first home about 10 years ago. If you are in need of some real estate help, we loved working with them. Contact them here at Coldwell Banker,  I can personally recommend them. As soon as Marysue contacted me I was excited to do whatever I could to help them out. They were playing host for all of Marysue’s brothers and sisters to celebrate their dad, Grandpa Boumann’s,  90th birthday. This sounds like a relatively easy task, just hosting a family birthday party right? That is until you hear that Marysue has 3 brothers and…

Meet Zoe, who is now a one year old. This gorgeous album documents her first year, starting during Tara’s pregnancy and finishing with Zoe’s birthday. The photographic cover(first image below) also includes an image on the back from Tony and Tara’s 2007 wedding. This album was designed by Robin of Doodle Do who definitely has the magic touch for these designs. Tara’s “Baby Package” (3 shoots over baby’s first year and a year end album + an add on extra session) was purchased by several family members attending her baby shower and given to her growing family as a gift.…

It seems fitting to me that this first post of 2011 is about a birth as it is also the first post of my newly created Facebook Fan page, another birthing of sorts. If you enjoy my photography, please become a fan of my page. Thank you. I love to photograph births. I’m not sure why. I mean of course, capturing the exact moment that life enters this world is fascinating, spectacular and amazing. Jaw dropping, really. Capturing all the raw emotions before, during and after- I’m energized by these types of unrehearsed moments. But after pondering it, I think…

Well, I can finally say I am done till 2011. Well, almost. Again, being “done” lately seems to rest on someone or something else- this time, Comcast. I would have been done yesterday except with this fabulous mountain living (I really do love it except for the inconvenient storms and effects), we lost our internet service again! As I sit here and wait for them to show up to fix it so that I can post these final images of the season, and get my family out the door to go skiing….I think that my husband is pacing… 🙂 ,…

After numerous days of rescheduling, I finally got to get out in what looks like may be the last sunny day of the year to photograph Jessica’s family. Dressed in holiday red, we strolled the vineyard capturing some sweet moments with her family. I thought Jess did a great job coordinating their clothes, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from her- she’s got a good eye for that! Merry Christmas Miller Family and thank you for the opportunity to do this for your family! Click here for a slide show from their session!
