Newborn Family Portraits

In the process of updating the blog with current sessions, I came across this family session I have been intending to post for some time. I thought I'd add it in the mix here since it is such a great example of a newborn family session. A lot of our newborn session subjects happen to be first children, probably because it is such a major life change to become parents the first time! It is important to remember to capture the first weeks or months of every member of the family, since every new little person changes things in a family so much! I know this family will enjoy these images for years to come.....

Issac's 100 Days Portrait

Congratulations to Isaac's family! He is a very sweet baby and we were happy to have the opportunity to photograph him for his 100 days celebration! Thanks for letting us be a part of his first year! We'll see you again in a few months!

Porter Turns One!

Porter is one of the most easy going, mellow one-year-olds I've ever seen. And what a cutie! We had a great time creating his portraits and can't wait to see his sister in the summer! Oh, by the way, his mom recently opened a salon called "The Studio" in Fair Oaks on Winding Way. If you're looking for a great hairstylist, give them a call at (916) 965-1266!

Generational Portraits

We were recently able to photograph three exceptionally close generations of lovely Sacramento ladies together.

I personally love seeing these generational portraits and think they are SO important. Our family influences and defines us more than we could ever know. I have found myself looking back at photographs of my grandparents and great-grandparents, imagining what they would have been like and hoping to see something of myself in them. More often than not, I find it and feel connected to the past generations and humankind in general.

These lucky girls will grow up knowing and loving their mother and grandmother well...and have these images to remind them how much of themselves they inherited from the women who went before....

Sisters

Jocelyn was game...at 4 years old she knew what this whole portrait thing was about. The trouble was convincing little sis Gwendolyn to get in on it. She did it though, (yea, Jocelyn!) and we were able to photograph both girls beautifully both outside and in the studio. It's nice to have a big sister to show you HOW it's done. Of course, it's also nice to have "the glare" in your arsenal of expressions to tell the photographer THAT you're done....(I might have to practice that one!)

Little Angel Braelyn

This little angel Braelyn visited us for her 1st birthday portrait. We were so pleased to meet her and her family. Grandma just knew she'd have an angel of her own someday when she ordered these wings. Congratulations on your beautiful granddaughter/daughter and your new house! We hope these portraits help to really make it home...

Welcome Owen!

Congratulations to Daegan and Ronin on their new little brother Owen! We have been photographing this family since Daegan was 2 years old, and it has been a pleasure to watch these boys grow. They are super-sweet, gentle, and so handsome! See for yourself....

Reddy Girls

The Reddy family recently added a new addition...Wow! Three beautiful girls. I know they each will soon realize what a gift is is to have 2 sisters. (I know from experience!) Congratulations Reddy family!
