A-SESSION LOCATIONS- Sac Area

Jessica understands that these are all fleeting moments in time and she understands that she wants her kids to have these memories of all of them, together. If I can be honest, she likely has more photos with her kids than I do with my own.

Engagement sessions are definitely the best way to get in front of the camera before your wedding day. For me, I get to spend some time getting to know more about the couple and what their connection is with each other, all prior to their big day. For the couple, they get to know me and a little bit about how I work while spending some time in front of the camera. Wedding days can be full of nerves and I find it is so great for us to all have worked together in a more relaxed situation. They know…

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.…

Where does the time go? I’ll say it again. Another annual session with the Anderson Family, this time in downtown Folsom over the holidays. It seems perfect that this was my last session of the year.

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…

True or false, I was at Jake’s birth? TRUE!!!!! It’s always true. Eighteen years ago I witnessed this super handsome, young man enter the world while my friend Danielle, mostly effortlessly, treated each contraction like a minor 1-minute inconvenience, pausing slightly before continuing where we were in conversation while Kris, Danielle’s husband ordered up a pizza…. OK, if you know me, you know that this is a comment dripping in sarcasm and maybe a nudge of truth. Actually, truth is, I’ve been friends with Jake’s parents since our kids were infants…WAY back in the day. And to get back to…

Kayla will attend the University of San Francisco and will be majoring in architecture.

Back in December of 2018, I got to photograph Christy and Quinn as they welcomed their first child, Elliott into their family. (see here) Fast forward a couple years and now Miss Elliott has a brand new baby brother. Grady is pretty chill as it seems common for a second baby.

Sure, being surrounded in the lupine super bloom is pure magic, but as I came to find out, after meeting Alyse and Ryan for the first time, so are their energies, both with each other and with the pure sweetness they put out into the world. Our hour long session turned into a several as they chased the light around Folsom Lake with me while we carefully navigated the lupine. Not initially planning an engagement session, nor a wedding during covid, we were able to shift some wedding time into engagement time as their larger wedding required some scaling back,…
