We got to photograph this little one in a super cool, modern condo in San Francisco. It’s in more of an urban neighborhood (as if anywhere in SF isn’t 😉 and we loved it! The windows were grand and the light…still makes me pause to smile when I think about it. Mom here is caucasion […]

When I say ice skating is harder than it looks what I mean is photographing it was so much harder than we thought! We had a session this week to photograph some of our best friends. After getting some family shots and some individuals of Ethan at their house, we thought it would be really […]

It’s always an incredible feeling when a photographer calls and needs photos. It also scares the shit out of me! I don’t know why-they call for a reason right? I think it’s because I feel like they know what I should be doing and if the photos don’t end up being amazing, I’d feel some […]

Debbie and Rick got married at Beatnik Studios and they were such a kick. It was a party the whole time and let me tell you, Debbie and Rick know how to party! We took them across the street to the Tower Cafe for some photos and then headed back to Beatnik. You’ll see a […]

Lindsay started Beatnik after graduating from Sac State. She wanted to be able to combine with other photographers and creatives to learn and grow together and share a beautiful space. Beatnik has been home to quite a few photographers, videographers, and graphic designers. It’s such a beautiful space, that others in the community wanted to […]

My mom and dad are thinking of moving to Utah. Dad got offered a really cool job where he won’t have to be on call 24/7, so that’s awesome, but I don’t want them to go! Mom and Dad have been in this house where I grew up for almost 34 years. It’s really hard […]

I love the rain. It gets in the way of shooting children and families but I think it’s so fun. I used to be a runner and one of the best times to run is in the rain. It made me feel like a bit of a rebel. I love the water. Maybe it comes down to being a Pisces. It’s also lovely to be able to curl up with a good book or movie next to the fire and hear the rain pounding down on the pavement outside. We are so lucky…

I can’t think of a better setting to photograph autumn than on a farm! The leaves are so gorgeous out here and all of the colors make me happy I live in Sacramento. I grew up here and didn’t know it was “The City of Trees” until a few years ago! Photographing twins is one […]

We were doing a little grocery shopping at Raley’s and walked by this little one in a cart. We had to stop and say hello. We told her we would just love to photograph her because she is so, so beautiful! So imagine how excited we were when her dad called us to set up […]
