Placerville Maternity Photogapher

I woke up this morning thinking I’d better get a few of these images up to celebrate Emma’s impending arrival. But who knows, right?

“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…

My friend Deanna (owner of Fausel Ranch, William’s mom and Aubree’s proud grandma) was around the ranch that day. She is also a creative soul who loves photography.…

Melissa and Eric are expecting little Joscilyn any day now. In fact, I just tried to call Melissa to see how she was doing and her mailbox was full… hmmm…..sounds suspicious- I can almost hear that first cry to the world!
