Baby L. ~ 10 days old {Sacramento Newborn Photographer}
Posted on March 8, 2010
I simply fell in love with little Miss L. and her gorgeous full head of blond hair! Isn’t she just a doll? And at 10 days old, she was very well behaved (and definitely a huge fan of my space heater!). Thank you, M. family, for inviting me into your home this weekend to photograph your beautiful angel!



This last picture makes my heart melt! There’s just something about eskimo kisses… maybe because my own kids love them so much (and I do, too!). I just adore how she has her hand on his face. Candid moments are my favorite!!

Little D. ~ 6 days old {Rocklin Newborn Photographer}
Posted on February 26, 2010
I had so much fun photographing little D. this morning. I don’t think I saw him open his eyes even once. He was soooooo deliciously sleepy! Just the way I like them.
I got to try out two new props, including this little hat that I’ve been waiting to use for a couple of weeks now. D. was the perfect little model. Thank you again, C., for letting me come over today to photograph your gorgeous baby! He’s definitely a keeper!!

Baby E. was a perfect little angel at our session yesterday. At only three days old, she was the youngest newborn I have ever photographed, and was soooooo perfectly sleepy. Isn’t she just a doll? Thank you, D., for coming over so soon after she was born! It was truly a delight to photograph her!

I heart faces photo challenge ~ we heart kisses {Sacramento family photographer}
Posted on February 9, 2010
I love the I heart faces blog! If you haven’t been over to it, check it out: {click here.} This week’s theme is “we heart kisses” in honor of Valentine’s day. When I saw the theme, I immediately thought of this picture, taken on Carmel beach last August. It’s one of my favorite kissing pictures! The sun was at just the right spot, and it was such a beautiful day! Happy (early) Valentine’s day, everyone!

This lovely couple is about to have their first little boy next month. So we headed over to the Capitol park to get some portraits of the beautiful mommy to be (doesn’t she just glow?!). You can definitely feel the love between these two. Their baby is going to be one lucky little boy! Thank you, P. and K. It was fun getting to meet you and I can hardly wait for your baby to arrive!!

Baby J. – 5 days old {Roseville Newborn Photographer}
Posted on February 3, 2010
I had the opportunity to photograph cute little J. yesterday at just five days old. He was another feisty one. He definitely put up a fight in the beginning, but as soon as we brought out the space heater, he settled right down and allowed for me to get quite a few different poses in. Isn’t he adorable?

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph these adorable triplets, once again, this weekend. You might remember when I photographed them at three months old back in October {click here}. They’re now seven months old and could not be cuter!

Cute little A.

Here is little Miss C.

This one is now one of my favorite pictures EVER! Little Miss B. has such beautiful eyes! Actually, they all do.
