This little bug was so fun to play with! She’s just starting her modeling career and has the hair and personality to be truely famous. I think this might be the first time we’ve photographed someone in front of a black background. It’s totally unlike me, but the light was too gorgeous to pass up!

It’s always such a pleaure to photograph for model’s portfolios. Every time I get a call from a parent who is working with Cast Images, I know I’ll get to meet one of the most beautiful and photogenic kids in Sacramento. Little Brady is one of the youngest Cast Images kids we’ve been able to […]

We got to photograph these cuties about two years ago and were so excited to get to do it again on Friday. Mom’s request was to get some of the cherry blossoms in the family shots and I think they turned out pretty good. I was using my 85mm 1.2 lens until Lindsay said, “You […]

This has got to be one of the favorites as far as engagement sessions go. It’s right up there with Mogan and Lucas and Natalie and Austin (bear in mind that Morgan is one of Lindsay’s best friends and we got to do a nautical theme because Natalie’s dad has a boat!). We got to […]

We were so lucky to be able to photography Brooke every three month this last year. The one year old session has the potential to be the most fun-I think because we end up getting to knowing and love about our little friends! She is so beautiful and we hope, hope, hope we get to […]

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 […]
