worth the wait | folsom newborn photographer

Sunday, April 25, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, infants

I’m sure that Mom would agree that this little cutie was worth the wait. When I contacted her to touch base regarding our upcoming newborn session, she mentioned that she was still pregnant–that {C} was just too cozy and wasn’t quite ready to make his debut. When I arrived for the photoshoot {C} was a wide eyed, alert ten day old boy. But after an hour of my warm space heater, sound machine, and a few snacks, he eventually gave in. And once again, he proved that it was definitely worth the wait! Nothing could wake this little guy from his slumber and I’m so glad. He gave us some great poses and adorable sleepy smiles.

finger paint | sacramento children’s photographer

Saturday, March 13, 2010 Posted in children

Paint…check. Sand….check. Water…check. Toddler boy willing and ready to get messy for the sake of photography? You bet!

I had a great time meeting up with {Z} for his two year old session this week. We decided to meet at Artbeast, a local children’s art studio in downtown Sacramento. It proved to be the perfect setting with all the bold colors and fun activities for kids. I just love these images of {Z}–especially the last one with paint and water all over his face. It’s difficult to get two year olds to sit still for formal portraits at this age, so I think this is the perfect place for toddlers. I’m all about creative locations for children’s photography and I think Artbeast is one of my new favorites.

early blessing | el dorado hills newborn photographer

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 Posted in infants

Don’t you just love getting gifts early? I am (usually) able to convince my husband every Christmas to give me just one gift a day early. It’s just so much fun to start enjoying a present before it’s supposed to be given.

Well, this little guy came over a week early! Talk about a great gift! He wasn’t supposed to make his debut until tomorrow, but I know that Mom and Dad are so glad he’s already here. I know I am–I had a wonderful afternoon getting to know this adorably squishy little newborn. Mom and I are in a Tuesday morning bible study together at our church and I just love her. She’s always so encouraging and get this–she offered to watch my kids when she was 8 months pregnant to give me a break! What a servant’s heart!

And little {E} is equally as lovable. He wasn’t so sure that he wanted to miss out on all of the excitement, but eventually gave in to a sweet slumber. The images we were able to capture are just so perfect. I can’t decide whether I like the first image or the black and white conversion better, so I thought I would include them both so you can see how just cropping and changing to black and white can change the look and feel of an image.

Blog1a Blog4 Blog2 Blog5 Blog3 Mom–I had a great afternoon hanging out with you and {E}! I hope you all love your images! Give {E} a big snuggle for me!

love this age | folsom children’s photographer

Saturday, February 13, 2010 Posted in children, infants

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. Blog1 Blog4 Blog3 Blog2 Blog5 Mom–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!

just perfect | sacramento infant photographer

Saturday, February 6, 2010 Posted in children, infants

It always feels like Christmas to me when I finish a session and pop my compact flash into my computer. I get all giddy as I sit and wait for my files to copy into their new folder so I can view them and star my favorites. I especially feel that way after a session where I know I got lots of great images.

That’s how today’s session with {K} was. I just couldn’t wait to browse through all of the pictures and start editing them. And once I started, I just couldn’t stop! This little one was such a doll! Her eyes are so amazingly expressive and she’s at my favorite age where she can sit up but can’t crawl away out of my camera’s frame. Love that.

And I love these first two images. So much so that I think I might just order a canvas of one as a studio sample. The lighting was just perfect (which we had to work for–believe me). Being a natural light photographer has it’s challenges in the winter. We actually had {K} set up a couple of feet from the door and I did most of my shooting from out on the porch (with Dad and Mom taking turns making silly sounds and faces behind me.) Put all that together and you get the perfect session, don’t you agree?

Blog1 Blog2 Blog6 Blog4 Blog3 Blog7 Mom and Dad–I had a great time getting to know you and little {K} today. I hope you love your sneak peek! I’ll be in touch and will let you know when your gallery is ready!
