Sacramento Family Photographer

I remember the call I got from Negar, a prospective client about 7 years ago. They had recently moved to the area and were looking for a photographer to capture their family memories. I remember I was cruising the back country roads on a gorgeous spring day between Chapel Hill, NC and Chatham, VA on my way to a shoot. I put my headset on and had a wonderful conversation getting to know the Jamali Family and what was important to them. I remember being a little surprised when she called back and hired me-I guess that is a natural…

Keith and Tiffany are expecting a baby and I know they are going to be fantastic parents. I first met Keith and Tiffany when they asked me to photograph their wedding back in August of 2010 in Grass Valley at the Harmony Lodge. I love working with these two (soon to be 3). They have a love for adventure and a warmth of spirit that just makes you want to spend more time with them. “Finn” is going to be a lucky little boy! We met up down by the river in Sacramento where the two of them hopped on…

I first met Ross and Kristy several years ago for their engagement session. I loved getting to work with them and their daughter Kiki both for their engagement session and their wedding, and have since become friends. Ross has become my go-to tech guy over the years, and has even become a bit of a photographer himself (though he’d never admit it). He even helped me with my most recent workshop and has become a moderator of sorts on my Workshop Facebook Group. Recently- we were invited to go see Kiki play a soccer game and my daughters were very…

Meet Zoe, who is now a one year old. This gorgeous album documents her first year, starting during Tara’s pregnancy and finishing with Zoe’s birthday. The photographic cover(first image below) also includes an image on the back from Tony and Tara’s 2007 wedding. This album was designed by Robin of Doodle Do who definitely has the magic touch for these designs. Tara’s “Baby Package” (3 shoots over baby’s first year and a year end album + an add on extra session) was purchased by several family members attending her baby shower and given to her growing family as a gift.…

Well, I can finally say I am done till 2011. Well, almost. Again, being “done” lately seems to rest on someone or something else- this time, Comcast. I would have been done yesterday except with this fabulous mountain living (I really do love it except for the inconvenient storms and effects), we lost our internet service again! As I sit here and wait for them to show up to fix it so that I can post these final images of the season, and get my family out the door to go skiing….I think that my husband is pacing… 🙂 ,…

First of all I have to applaud Kim on her clothing choices for the family….I’m going to start having to give people her number if they want coordinating tips – in fact, I may call her to help out our family this year! Sly Park Lake made for a beautiful backdrop for these guys and was a nice change in location from Apple Hill. I’ve been working with The Eggertons since Reid was baby (and Captain Bubbles…but I digress), and I always love the energy they have as a family. I had a lot of fun trying to ‘capture the…

What can I say – I love these guys! I feel like I have known Tony and Tara forever but it really has only been since their wedding in 2007. When Tara was pregnant with Zoe, they invested in a baby package which includes a minimum of 3 shoots over the course of Zoe’s first year and a super cool custom designed Baby Brag Book album which is a picture story documenting her first year! Zoe is such happy baby- just full of bright-eyed smiles- I think she only got sad once at the end of the session- she was…
