I adore this little family! Big sister was in my daughter’s first grade class this past year and was one of her best friends at school.  And little sister is such a sweetie and has the prettiest big brown eyes I have ever seen!  I was so excited when her mom asked me about getting family pictures done and then she chose one of my favorite urban locations in the whole Sacramento area to do their session.  Yay!     

My sister threw the most FABULOUS tea party for her daughter yesterday… I just had to share! 

A “K” for Kylee… Made out of cupcake liners! 

Beautiful cake done by Cakes by Heather…

Adorable free printable food tags found at: Glorious Treats

Paper lanterns from Luna Bazaar…

And check out this super cute button art butterfly that she made!  I found the frame at a local antique store. 

She also made this little cake stand out of felt and ALL this felt food!  Each of the girls got to take home a couple of the felt cookies in little “doggie bags” for their dolls. 

She also made these darling silhouettes of Kylee and her American Girl doll…  AND sewed an outfit for each girl to take home for their own doll!The table was set with china found at Goodwill (we found a full set for less than $30!) and each girl had a mini tea cup for their doll…The birthday girl with her Samantha doll and her new Rebecca doll (that arrived at the party a little late – as a surprise!)…Cute craft the girls made… decorating their own flower pots and making flower pens…Last, but not least… Freeze dancing!  Always a party favorite! 

I did baby J.’s newborn pictures almost exactly one year ago, and when I found out that his mommy is a hair stylist, I mentioned that if she was ever interested in trading, I would love to.  So I was really excited when she contacted me a few months ago to see if I was still interested in a trade (and she is an amazing stylist, so I’m really happy it all worked out!!  Check out her facebook page HERE.).  When they told me that they wanted their family session in Old Sacramento, I couldn’t be happier.  It’s such a great location with plenty of cool backdrops.  And it was so fun to see how big little J. and his older brother, C., are getting!  Aren’t they so cute!!  Here are some favorites…

Remember little miss A. from last August?  I LOVED how her newborn pictures turned out and now she’s already six months old!  I can hardly believe it!  So I was super excited when her mommy mentioned getting some six month pictures along with pictures of her three other adorable kiddos!  We went to one of my favorite fields for the session (which happens to have long grass with pretty white flowers at the moment – loved it!).  Here are a few favorites…

I did a session with the U. family a week from last Saturday, and we had such a great time!  The forecast said “rain” but we decided to just go for it anyway, and we totally lucked out.  We started off at their home and then headed into the city for some urban shots.  It stopped raining just long enough for us to get the full session in, and their kids were such troopers even with the cold weather!  I adore their whole gallery, but here are just a few favorites from the day…

This weekend, some of our good friends from Washington were driving through on their way home from Lake Tahoe, so they asked if I would do a family session with them.  I was SO excited to get to see them, and flattered that they would go out of their way to hire me for a session!  It was HOT outside, and the kids were pretty tired from their trip, but they were such troopers and we were still able to get some beautiful pictures of their family.  Here are my favorites…

Thanks, E. & P., for stopping through!!  It was fun seeing you and we can’t wait to stop by your place next summer when we’re up in Washington!

For my daughter’s first birthday, I just couldn’t resist doing a cake smash session with her!  We had so much fun!  Here are a few favorites from the session…  {And if you’re interested in doing a cake smash session for your baby’s first birthday, contact me for pricing on a cake smash mini photo shoot!!}

 

 

My good friend, L., asked me earlier this week if I had time to do a little mini photo shoot of her kids so that she could surprise her hubby for Father’s day.  We had so much fun, and even though her kids were running around and having fun (there was lots of bribing going on!) we still got quite a few cute pictures.  Here are some favorites…
