Have you ever had an obstacle in your way that you just couldn’t seem to get over? I literally have made multiple attempts over the last few years to learn studio lighting.  I took a class and I swear I bought all of the gear they suggested…and it was terrible! Every so often, I would […]

I am so excited to share Kayla’s Newborn Girl Photo Session with you!  Kayla is my sister in law and this is their first baby.  They had to go through a lot to get her here, including a few miscarriages and a lot of medical procedures.  In fact, Kayla had to give herself a shot […]

I was so excited to get to photograph my newborn nephew!  It means that I get to see them before a lot of people and I get to feel out their temperament and get to know them a little bit.  It is such a privilege.  🙂  My sister in law, Katie, is pretty laid back […]

Welcome to the family little one!  This lucky little guy has 4 big siblings, one big brother and three big sisters.  It was so nice to see this sweet family and see how excited they were to add this little bundle to the mix.  I think big brother was very excited to have another boy […]

Congratulations to Shayna!  We had a great time photographing her newborn boy in Rocklin.  His nursery colors and grey and blue, and his theme is elephants.  I had a lot of fun with this! The big siblings came out, too.  This is just one of the pictures.  At first, their little girl was VERY unsure […]

Katie just added a beautiful baby girl to their family.  When she had her consultation, she surprised me.  She said, “So, we have a cactus and llama themed nursery.”  I had seen a few cactus and llama things around, but I haven’t photographed anything like it before.  So, I was super excited when I got […]

I had the privilege of photographing Nicole’s second baby a few years ago.  Nicole had a girl for her first baby, and a boy for her second.  So, for this third baby, she decided not to find out the gender and be surprised.  We basically had two plans going on her Pinterest board and then […]

About 4 years ago, I got to photograph Amy’s sweet little boy when he was a newborn.  I was so happy to hear that Amy was having a little girl and that she wanted to come to me for newborn photography again.  When we photographed her little boy, they brought in this amazing saddle that […]
