reconnecting | folsom family photographer

Not much will get me out of bed at 6:30 am. I am so lucky that both of my kids sleep in, because I tend to be quite a night owl and not much of a morning person. But I nearly jumped out of bed the morning of this shoot because I was so excited to photograph this beautiful family. Corinne is an old high school friend of mine and we reconnected through Facebook (don’t you just love Facebook for that?) this past year. Everything about this session was so much fun–the only thing I’m upset about is the fact that they live so far away because I know that {A} and my Jacob would be best buddies. Seriously, their personalities are so similar–it was like spending the morning with my own little guy. He was such a crack up!

And seriously–what a gorgeous family!

catching up | folsom family photographer

So I’ve discovered the result to burning the candle at both ends (and it’s not pretty, let me tell you). Picture a very congested, cranky, and sneezy Megan and you’ve got an idea of what my week has looked like. After I finished up photographing this adorable family I went home only to head to bed early with a stuffy nose and cough. Luckily I didn’t have any other sessions scheduled until last night, but the much needed rest and early bedtime has put me behind in my sneak-peeking, editing, and ordering. So I got out my trusty to-do list and have created a very thorough, detailed plan to get everything finished up in a quite timely matter if I do say so myself.

And at the top of that list was getting the “sneak peek” together for the {T} family. My favorite part about this session was how snuggly they all are. You really can just see the love they have for one another–it comes through so clearly in all of the images I took. I always have to remind my clients to scoot closer together–that it might feel awkward but I promise it looks better in pictures than to have one foot gaps in between each person. But I didn’t have to tell the {T} family that once. I just love the closeness they share and think these images reflect that perfectly.

out of the office | folsom photographer

Tomorrow I’m leaving on a jet plane headed to Utah for Nichole Van’s photography workshop. I can’t wait to learn from one of the best and meet other photographers from around the country. So needless to say, I’ll be out of the office tomorrow until Monday, March 29th. I’ll have limited access to email, but will return the bulk of my messages at the beginning of next week.

And I’m not the only thing headed out of the office. These beautiful products will be leaving my hands today and will arrive in my client’s later this week. I’ll admit that I’m not the greatest product photographer, but these are just too gorgeous not to be photographed. As a custom photographer, I offer much more than just your traditional 8×10 print. These gorgeous image boxes are my current favorite. They hold 15 matted prints and are so dreamy in person.

And this float wrap is a modern take on a 16×20 print. It’s literally your image, wrapped and mounted so when hung it appears to “float” from the wall. How cool is that? I’m so excited for my clients to have these (although part of me wishes I could keep them for myself!).

I would really encourage anyone considering custom photography to look around your home and find the perfect places to display your artwork. Gift prints such as 5×7’s and 8×10’s are meant to sit on desks. But walls scream for large, gorgeous images. Don’t be scared by the sound of a 16×20 or 20×24. I promise you it’s not as big as you might think and I bet you’d even wish you went larger. To me there is nothing more beautiful that decorating your home with images of your own life, so go big!

love this age | folsom children’s photographer

Yep. Six months is still my favorite age to photograph. While I love photographing children of all ages, there is just something special about this age. And there’s something even more special about this little girl. I’ve photographed her since she was in Mama’s belly and it’s such an honor to continue photographing her throughout her first year of life. I love to see how much growth occurs over just a few months. From an adorable sleepy newborn, to a beautiful three month old, to a stunning six month old, little {L} continues to get cuter and cuter. She was such a trooper and even though she’s smack dab in the middle of teething, she was such a love for us and gave us some great images.Blog1Blog4Blog3Blog2Blog5Mom–a little early “birthday” sneak peek for you! Hope you adore the latest pictures of your little one and have a lovely Valentine / birthday tomorrow!

bold and bright | sacramento child photographer

Oh my cuteness! I know I have said it before, but it bears repeating–I have the absolute cutest clients around. These dolls have to be some of the most beautiful sisters I have ever laid eyes on. I was so excited to photograph them again this weekend and was over the moon when Mom pulled out all of their outfits–color, color, and more color! As a photographer I love to photograph color, and to me, the brighter the better. There is something so fun and playful–something that just screams childhood–about bright, bold colors.

And Mom totally knows my style. I love when she pulled out one of the wardrobe changes and said, “You’re going to go out this week and get this one, aren’t you?” And you know what? I already had the outfit for my own little girl! Talk about being in sync! Love it! I also have a feeling you’ll be seeing a lot more of their faces around here. Some of the images from their session have become my favorites and I plan to use them in my new marketing materials.

Mom, I know you’ve been waiting so patiently for this sneak peek, so without further ado…your gorgeous daughters.Blog5Blog3Blog4Blog1
