Secret Ravine Winery | The Wall Family
My job never feels like going to work; it feels like hanging out with friends.
I’ve known Shelby for a long time, and she is genuinely one of the sweetest humans I’ve ever met. Her husband, Chris, is incredibly talented. He’s a winemaker, so we photographed their family at their winery: Secret Ravine Winery in Loomis. I’m a spoiled photographer, because the setting was literally perfect, I mean, the photos speak for themselves. And don’t even get me started on their wine room! I definitely recommend giving them a visit.
Their two little girls, Maddie and Piper, completely stole the show. They’re the perfect mix of shy and spunky, just like their mom. They had me laughing the whole time! I’ve learned that working with kids takes patience and playfulness. I like to start by making things fun and friendly, which helps them relax. This way, I can capture their real personalities and genuine moments. Watching Shelby and Chris with their girls is really special.
The day was cold and cloudy, but it didn’t matter because this family brought so much warmth and so many smiles. That’s why I love what I do: making everyday moments feel a little warmer.
If you’re ever in Loomis, be sure to stop by Secret Ravine. I’m excited to see this sweet family grow! If you want to capture your own special moments, I’d love to help. Reach out anytime with questions or to book a session!
Rosalinda & OSny | Maternity Session in Fair Oaks
The cutest maternity session in Fair Oaks and the whole Sacramento Region.
Ahhh, first their wedding, and now this? I am so honored! I thought Rosalinda looked breathtaking as a bride, but her radiant glow during this special time is truly unmatched. She is as graceful and beautiful as ever. And Osny's smile? It's electrifying— I'm pretty sure he could light up a whole city! I couldn't be happier for these two and am so excited to help celebrate the arrival of their little Marisol. Maternity photos are such a blast for me, especially knowing that their child will one day cherish these moments of anticipation. Pregnancy can be a total whirlwind, so I'm glad that Rosalinda and Osny were able to take a beat and soak it all in. I can not WAIT to meet their little girl and see what beautiful adventures lie ahead for this little fam!
The Reeds Fam | Jensen Botanical Garden
One of my favorite parts of my job is watching little families grow, especially families like Michael and Marcie's. I had the pleasure of taking Michael and Marcie's very first photo together on one of their early dates, which was on the 4th of July. Since then, I've had the joy of capturing their engagement, wedding, maternity, and now family photos!
This recent session at the Botanical Gardens in Sacramento truly reflected who they are as a couple. They incorporated mementos from their wedding, which had an "Up" theme, as well as elements from their storybook-themed baby shower. I am so incredibly grateful to have such awesome friends, and it warms my heart to meet their little one for the first time.
I already see so much of both of them in Liam; it's amazing to witness, and I can't wait to get to know them even better in the years to come!
The Robertson Fam | Jensen Botanical Garden
When Stephani texted me to do this session, I was like, What do you mean? We JUST did a shoot not that long ago! Like, what do you mean it's been over three years since I last saw you?! Time FLIES.
Seeing Colton in this stage was the best thing ever. He's got a little minx smile, and he knows it! It's really fun to see him in this stage when he's figuring out what types of things he's into. My usual "Rawr like a dinosaur!" pose won't cut it anymore when he prefers to roar like a monster truck instead!
The love between Stephani & Tyson has never wavered all of these years. They both complement each other so well, and my camera can't get enough (Okay, I can't get enough. I love doing sessions like this!)
Seeing growth in a family is one of my favorite things about being a family photographer! I can't wait to get these three in front of my camera again… hopefully next time with Sashsta! (their dog :) )
Fair Oaks Maternity Session | The ERedia Fam!
I absolutely loved my session with Lizzy, Isaac, and Layla! It's been such a joy to watch Layla grow—remember, I met her on her very first birthday, and she just turned four! How amazing is that? Her spunky sense of humor, clearly inherited from her dad, Isaac, brings such a smile to my face. And let’s not forget how smart and graceful she is, traits she clearly gets from her wonderful mom, Lizzy! We took these adorable photos at my favorite spot, Sailor Bar in Fair Oaks. The golden glow of the setting sun combined with the stunning Sierra backdrop truly reflects the love this family shares. I'm also super excited for their upcoming addition! I can't wait to see the exceptional qualities that this new little girl will bring into their lives. Here’s to more beautiful moments and memories together!
