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 […]

We were able to photograph Braelyn’s first year and loved every single session. What a sweet, sweet family! When we found out Kristen was pregnant with baby #2, we were so excited for them! Then, we found out Kristen wanted us to photograph this next baby too. We smiled ear to ear during this session […]

The interior design elements of Charlot’s house are incredible. I was drawn to the stairs in particular. As I was accessing the light to photograph the boys, I got distracted and started photographing the stairs. Here are a couple of my favorite shots. I didn’t used to like modern architecture and it’s really starting to […]

We were so excited to photograph Ben and Seb this year! They moved into their new house a couple of months ago and we knew it would be spectacular. Their parents own the international development company, Troon Pacific, in San Francisco, so we knew we were in for a treat and it did not disappoint! The […]

The Olive and Rose presents Noel-Holiday Vintage Market at Beatnik Studios. This event last weekend was glorious! It was so hard to decide what to purchase and in the end, we bought a side table, chalk board, glass bird (which has already been broken by our cat BabyCakes), pine cone swag for our door, caramels, […]

Look at those dimples!!! This is Ryan. We photographed him yesterday to start his modeling portfolio. He was just signed by Cast Images Talent Agency here in Sacramento. He is really quite shy, but also loves having his photo taken which results in super sweet shots. His mom and older sister came to the session […]
