Welcome

Welcome to my blog and thanks for stopping by. I'm an on-location photographer living in Foresthill, California and serving the surrounding Placer County Foothills, including the towns of Todd Valley, Baker Ranch, Michigan Bluff, Auburn, Meadow Vista, Newcastle, Penryn, Loomis, Rocklin, Roseville and Granite Bay. I can come to your home or we can meet at any number of local parks, ponds or trailheads here in the Foothills. Do you have an overgrown field in your backyard or know of a quaint old bridge that crosses a creek? The location ideas are endless!

I specialize in children of all ages and their families. Even if you have the most reluctant toddler or camera-shy teenager, I can assure you that my patience is limitless. I will work together with you to create beautiful memories and give you top-notch service.

Another set of sisters.

These girls are so adorable! Here is big sis.

And little sis.

They have the most beautiful girly bedroom I’ve ever seen. Flowing fairy curtains, pink walls with fairies all over. I loved it!

With the bubble blower, one of the few things that kept her happy. :)

And one together. I’m thinking of a bigger background in the future. It was tough squeezing them together.

 

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

Actually, this little guy was pretty heavy, according to his brother. :) I met with this family at Ashford Park in Auburn and had the best time!

Cute little chub!

And here was the official bubble-blower, baby carrier and all around helpful guy.

I had so much fun with these boys! They were so adorable and cooperative. ALthough Mom insisted that they were tired, I could hardly believe it. They behaved so well!

More girls!

Lots of girls recently and I’m not complaining. :) I met A and and J and their mom at Royer Park in Roseville. Big sis was SO busy and had little interest in me. That playground was so distracting!

I can actually see what I’m wearing in my reflection in her eyes here.

Can you tell how done she was by then?

She wore a poker face most of the time we were together but the bubbles finally worked and we got some smiles!

There’s something about sisters…

I ALWAYS wanted a sister growing up and finally got one when I was TWENTY years old. That’s right, we’re twenty years apart. So, seeing three beautiful sisters like this just melts my heart. Their mom is so blessed and they were such sweethearts! :)

C is for Cookie!

This is one of the things that Mom sang to little Mr. C to make him smile. He skipped his nap so his parents pulled out all the stops to keep him happy. Haha!

Thanks for a great time and for your infinite patience. I’m glad we hung in there. I’ll be sending you your gallery very soon. :)

Sneak Peek for the B family!

This past weekend, I met with this gorgeous family. We both drove down our opposite sides of the canyon and met at the American River Confluence. Luckily, we got there early enough that we didn’t get *too* many crazy looks about hauling a couch to the river’s edge. :)

This is their little guy, T.

This one just cracked me up! He did not want to be kissed!

Of course, many thanks to Mrs. B for running the bubble machine and Mr. B for carrying the couch all the way back to my car. :) I’ll be sending you your gallery link in the next couple days. Hope you enjoyed them!

Little cutie in the park!

I had so much fun with Miss E. and her mom. She is two years old and a bundle of energy!

We met at Clover Valley Park in Rocklin. I brought the fainting couch, a pettiskirt and some silly leggings and we were good to go.

She LOVED the creek!

I had to catch the smiles *fast* before she went on her way again.

One of my favorites in vintage.

Have to show one with the pink skull and crossbones leggings. hehe

Thanks for looking!

Birthdays!

Gosh, the time just flies! What with 3 birthdays nearly all in a row, the suffocating heat and fires we’re dealing with here in Norcal…

Here is my girl who somehow just turned FOUR!

And in her favorite hat:

And Nicholas, who turned SEVEN, and also lost something very recently, lol.

His serious look, which is what I usually get.

And Benjamin turned 11 but wouldn’t ya know it? He wouldn’t let me take any pictures.

 

 

Back to back families

I went up to Nevada City to work with these two awesome families.

This first family, the family in red I’ll call them, were cracking up the entire time!

This next family, Mom was waiting for her husband to come home from serving in Iraq and wanted to try to get a shot of them together.  The little girl was SO cute but she really wasn’t interested in me for a while. After a while, she gave me the best smiles.

I was so excited when she agreed to put on the petti. :)

Her little brother was just as cute and full of energy!

I wish I could show this one in color but I can’t seem to upload from my computer for some reason.

 So, I did get them together eventually but I don’t have time to figure this out right now. Thanks for looking!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ballerinas

One of my good friends brought her daughter over for portraits. Clara had a really hard time with seeing someone else get so much attention in front of the camera so things got a little crazy. I did manage to get some cute ones though.

This is my friend’s daughter.

My girl was really hamming it up!

It was really hard keeping their attention and at the end of the day, they were exhausted. Now I need to go try to insert the actual link for this new blog into my old blog. Thanks for looking!
