The wild thing about having a toddler who is your baby is that all of a sudden she’s not the baby anymore. Just like that, she seems so big, so much older.

After graduation Anthony enlisted and is now stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas after his deployment in Kuwait for 9 months.

“When I hear that robin sing Well I know it’s coming on spring Oo we and we’re starting a new life” Van Morrison, Starting a New Life Miss Claire can’t wait to meet her new little sister at the end of this month, but until then, it’s all about this spunky toddler. She’s just as you’d imagine any toddler to be- curious, cute, adventurous and of course, sometimes demanding. Standing on the shoreline, Claire kept pointing at the lake and then to Dan- saying, “FISH”!  Was it a noun, a verb? Not sure but I do think the gist was…

Lola and Chris are expecting their first child at the beginning of April so last week was perfect timing to get in some photographs down at the lake. Lola wore a beautiful, flowing blue dress and was a trooper out in the snow. Chris stood close by putting a big blanket around her between shots. Chris’s stepfather Scott came along and helped including hoping one of my lights as needed. Next month, I’ll get to meet the little one when we get together for some newborn photos. Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

So far, Ember and I have been out for two senior sessions….one of the perks I imagine of having a mom who is a photographer. The first session was in downtown Sac with her good friend Fiona and then we went out again to Sly Park Lake while I was testing out my new camera, a Z6ii, mirrorless. The next session I promised her is with her famous and spoiled cat, Trouble…so stay tuned. It’s sure to be a quick one. I can’t believe my youngest is now a high school senior and graduating this May from CUP in Placerville.…

They were so easy to photograph and it made me wonder if engaged to “already be married” sessions provide just that extra nudge of comfortability with each other.

Upon arriving at Heavenly a little early, I met a new friend Gary who saw me trying to make sense of the ski run map. He had been skiing at Heavenly for decades and was gracious enough to offer to give me a tour of some primo locations for photographs.

It’s not just varsity basketball at El Dorado High that keeps this athletic, young lady going- don’t forget water polo and Tae Kwon Do of which she has three different black belts. WOW! Talk about dedication.
