Trading {Orangevale family portraits}

Posted on October 16, 2011

I was so excited when my friend, Folsom children’s photographer Sandy Runner, asked me if I was interested in trading family pictures this year.  I’m a huge fan of her work, so I happily said yes!  Luckily, the timing worked out and we were able to travel over to Sacramento this past week for the trade.  Her family is so sweet and we had a fun time together.  Sandy is awesome at finding fun, unique locations, so when she suggested this field and barn, I could hardly wait to see it in person.  Of course, it was absolutely perfect and the weather could not have been better (I’ve already gotten used to the cool weather here in Monterey, so I was dreading possible HOT weather in Sacramento… thankfully it was in the low 80s).  Here are some favorites from the session… Sandy, thanks again for trading with me!  You know I completely LOVE all the pictures you took of our family and I hope you enjoy these, too!!  (Oh, and if you’d like to see some of the pictures Sandy took of my family, go HERE!)





Last time I saw baby R., he was a tiny newborn (and oh-so-cute).  Now he’s an adorable one year old, and so much fun!  I had a blast hanging out with his little family this week.  Here’s a little sneak peek from their session… C. and R., it was so fun to see you again!!





Remember this adorable newborn from last year?  I can hardly believe he is already ONE!  I was so excited that his family traveled all the way out to Monterey for a session!  We headed down to my favorite spot in Carmel and had a great time.  Here’s just a little sneak peek for now…
