El Dorado County Favorite Family Photographer

This session put me in such a great mood. Fall is here and the weather is perfect up here in the mountains and for fall family sessions in Apple Hill. One of the parts I love about my job is reconnecting with previous wedding couples and especially folks like Maureen and Curt. They are super sweet, easygoing, and kind plus they have great restaurant recommendations for Sacramento! Bonus. They married Fausel Ranch in the fall of 2019 and now they are raising two cute sons- Odin who loves cheddar bunnies and Jude who has two new front teeth. They both…

Benito: meaning “Blessed”
and I’m certain his parents feel this way too. Look at those bright eyes and that smile! Benito stole my heart instantly.

Mary Jo and Tom Anderson(Reed’s parents) recently asked me over to capture their family while all of their grandkids were in town. To be cautious, they moved into their pool house while their daughter and family quarantined in the main house upon arrival from the east coast.

Well sorta….it was two Gray sessions in one weekend. We just split one session up….first was an early morning with Jack at the Cameron Park Airport before his flying lesson (really what teenagers want a family session at 7:30am?) and then the next afternoon I met the whole family at a more reasonable hour at Sly Park Lake. There’s so much love in and around this family- it’s always a pleasure. The love seeps in to those around. Melinda and I just determined that it has been since 2005 ish that we’ve known each other as our kids went through school…
