Valerie and her sons are very close. She’s an incredible mother and she’s doing an amazing job at raising respectful, smart, and kind men. When Valerie graduated from college in May, her mother purchased this family session for her as a gift. You can never go wrong with a gift of memories. Planning Your Wardrobe […]

Newborn photos are precious images that will be cherished through the generations. As your baby grows, you can show him or her the album full of their newborn pictures, pointing and saying, “Who’s that? That’s you!” Kayla and Robert invited me into their home for this special newborn photo shoot. Jovan is their second son, […]

Recently, a good friend of mine told me how much she regrets not doing an outdoor maternity session. They had some photos taken in their home, and while those are special and cute, she wishes she had gorgeous outdoor photos to hang on their walls. She missed out on wearing a beautiful dress and having […]

This wonderful family has been clients for many years. Annual family portraits are extremely important to them because family is their top priority. Children grow up so fast and life can be so hectic that it’s easy to forget to document life when they’re young. We did a maternity session while Clarissa was pregnant with […]

We had the honor of photographing Kaitlyn and Julian’s gorgeous wedding at Viaggio Winery. When they had this beautiful little baby, they brought me back to capture their family. Baby Elias is their first child, and they couldn’t be happier. I love doing in-home family sessions because they capture real moments between parents and children. […]

Look who had a baby! I’m so happy for Shoshana and Travis, two of the most wonderful people I know! We met them five years ago, when we captured their love at their gorgeous wedding. This time, I had the privilege of documenting their days with newborn baby Everett. They’re amazing parents, completely in love […]

We photographed Shoshana and Travis’s beautiful wedding back in 2013, so I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their maternity session and their newborn session! We took advantage of that fleeting time in Modesto, when the almond blossoms pop and there is a blanket of white across the valley. That little pre-spring that […]

LaToya and Chris are desperately in love with their new baby boy, Klayton, and I totally get why. They welcomed me into their home and I had an amazing time getting to know them and taking photos. We did a simple in-home session, working in their house, capturing all those little moments that make them […]

Alma and Joe are very special to me.  We first got to know them when we photographed their wedding, and they were so fun and easy to work with.  We immediately hit it off, had tons of fun, and made some awesome photos together.  So when they told me they were pregnant, I was thrilled […]

Ali and Luke are very special to me.  We photographed their engagement session, then their gorgeous wedding at East Lake Ranch in Hughson, and now their firstborn.  They’re such a sweet couple with a solid friendship and lots of love.  Baby Elijah is their first baby boy, and they’re completely enamored with him.  They’re fantastic […]

Baby Aislin entered this world surrounded by people who love her.  In the delivery suite, the doctor set her down and she was crying, like all healthy babies do.  Sean was choked up, full of emotion, and he said, “Shhhh sweetie, it’s ok…” and she grabbed his finger.  He’ll always remember that moment.  This daddy […]

I had the pleasure of photographing these awesome twins.  They just turned sixteen and their mom wanted something special.  Thanks Rachel, Parker, and Eric!  I loved working with you guys!

We photographed Melissa and John‘s wedding in June of 2008, and it’s amazing to see how their family has grown. They are AMAZING people and parents. Their oldest, Rocco, is autistic, and he’s the sweetest boy I’ve ever photographed. He’s so well adjusted and loving because his parents have worked so hard to make his […]

I love photographing blended families. In my opinion, family is what you make it, not necessarily who you’re born into. In the case of this family, we have Paul and Christie and their little girl Morgan, along with big brother Griffin and his dad Mike. They’re a beautiful blended family and we really enjoyed working […]

I got some devastating news today. One of our clients, a sweet 25-year-old father, was killed ten days ago. He was driving to work, and at 4:11 am he was hit by two cars that were drag racing at 100 miles per hour. Both drivers were drunk. Jake died in the ambulance on the way […]
