Tatum & Drake | Sacramento & Inland Empire Children's Photographer

It was just a couple of months ago that I took photos of baby Drake while he was still in his mama's belly (Sommer's Maternity Photos). Okay, that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean. Now he's here! Tatum is a wonderful older sister and was a gem for the camera (during the maternity photos she was quite camera shy....exactly the opposite this time!) Jeff & Sommer - congrats on your new addition! What a perfect little family!

This one made me laugh out loud when I saw it. Bored, much? haha. I can assure you that this photo session was far from boring which is why I think this one is so cute :)

Isla & Giselle | Baptism Photography

Earlier this year I did these newborn photos for identical twins, Isla and Giselle. When their mom called me to photograph their baptism, I was both honored and excited. The girls had grown so much and were full of smiles, even as their bottoms were dunked in the water! The service was exceptionally beautiful and then followed by a fun reception at grandma's house just down the street. My goal was to capture the day just as it was, very candid and with natural processing. Days like this one make me bust at the seams with love for what I do.

Kristiana & Tim | Maternity Photos

I was so excited for this shoot that I traveled all the way to Seattle! Ok, ok....Kristiana just so happens to be my sister ;) Kristy and Tim are expecting their first child on May 5th, a sweet baby girl named Kaydriana. I flew up to Seattle to visit, attend one of her 5 (!!!) baby showers, and to do her maternity photos. I think my sister is a glowing, beautiful pregnant woman and I'm sure that it shows in these photos. I can't wait to meet my beautiful niece and watch my sister and brother-in-law as parents! Only 6 weeks left!

I also wanted to mention the awesome shower cake that I had made for my sister. It was a mad rush the week before her shower to find someone who was in the area, in my budget, and could do what I wanted done. Check out the gorgeous cake from Kelli's Creations! Everyone loved it - thanks, Kelli!

And lastly,  a quick photo of my sis and I - I handed my big, bulky camera over to Tim!
