El Dorado Hills

You have to be careful when you live in Pollock Pines, and spring hits and you still leave the house wearing fleece and long sleeves. Don’t go down the hill dressed like that- you will burn up. Even in Camino at the Apple Mountain Golf Course it was very warm when I met Hayden for his senior shoot. I hadn’t seen Hayden since his family had family photographs a couple years ago and I didn’t even recognize him. A lot can change in a couple years which is why I am so often reminded how important it is to capture…

Pollock Pines was digging out of a storm the day Anna and I drive down through Folsom over to Penryn to meet Trisha and Justin for their engagement shoot. It was a beautiful spring day(in Folsom). Everyone was out jogging, bike riding and walking over the Rainbow Bridge. I felt like I was in another world. Trisha and Justin met at Westmont College in Santa Barbara. Her first boyfriend and his last girlfriend! Easy going, fun loving and adventurous- we had a great time exploring a new location. They will be getting married at the Flower Farm in Loomis on…

Alright, so maybe we were just a little scared a stampede of bulls were going to come charging over the hillside-it wouldn’t be the first time I survived a stampede– but the big blue sky and the white rocks (behind) the barbed wired fence on the hill were calling my name and Kim, Vern, Cassie and I were ready to check it out. Kim and Vern are a fun loving and sweet couple- can’t wait for their wedding at the Sequoia in May! Here is your slideshow~ enjoy!

Nicole & Keith are getting married in Rhode Island this summer and wanted me to shoot some personal engagement photos for them. We shot at Keith’s family’s farm in El Dorado Hills – it is a beautiful property! Lots of unique buildings, tractors, and old machinery. Cassie and I had alot of fun with Nicole, Keith and their 14 year old dog Mason in the late afternoon sun! Enjoy and Happy Holidays- You can view your slideshow here !

Negar tells me that this is my eighth time photographing their family(in some variation). I can do nothing but believe her. I have to admit that I lose count after awhile. I’ve photographed Negar, Amir and Shirin (now 4) back when Shirin was still nursing…then Negar when she was pregnant with Kian and then had the honor of photographing Kian’s birth. Then there was a whole mixture of family photos, nursery photos, home photos, park photos, winery photos…and then… I lose track. All I know is that I love this family. Beautiful people, beautiful smiles. I look forward to Negar’s…

This is Karl Quinsland a senior graduating from Oakridge in El Dorado Hills! The day I did his shoot he said there were only 19 days left until he graduated – he said he’d been counting down the days since he entered high school as a freshman lol! It was a beautiful day for taking photos and Karl just happened to live on a freshly blossoming green piece of property. Happy Graduation! oh and Karl … “Yo”
