I had so much fun with Brandi last week!  We explored a location I’ve only been to once before, and I realized that there was so much more potential there than I had imagined!  I also had a chance to try out my new lens and it did not disappoint!  Here are some favorites from her session…





The first birthday cake smash is quickly becoming one of my favorite types of sessions!  Hazel’s cake smash was no exception.  We started off with a gorgeous cake by the fabulous Heather of Cakes by Heather (click here for her facebook page).

As soon as we put the cake in front of Hazel, she pushed it over.  LOL! 

No worries though!  We just put it back on the cake stand and went right back to business!

It wasn’t long before she dug right in…

Isn’t she such a doll?!

Cake destroyed.  Mission accomplished! :)





Baby K. {Roseville Newborn Photographer}

Posted on January 17, 2011

I had the pleasure of photographing baby K. a few days ago at just one week old.  He was such a sweet little guy!  The weather outside was really gloomy and I was a little worried that we wouldn’t have enough light, but luckily, it was just bright enough in their home to do the session (yay for sliding glass doors!!).  Here are a few, of my MANY favorites, from the session…





I have been meaning to share pictures of the albums that I sell for quite some time.  I completely adore the fine art album!  Pictures do not do it justice (plus, it doesn’t help that I am definitely NOT a product photographer!).  Here are a few pictures of an album I designed for a newborn client recently.  It was like Christmas morning when this came in the mail and I was completely giddy to show it to my clients!!    





First I want to thank all of my AMAZING clients from 2010.  You guys ROCK!  Because of you, I’ve had the chance to continue to pursue my dream job as a photographer, and I have had so much fun working with all of you!  So now…
