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 […]

After a year of dating, Shannon and Greg got their first baby, a boxer named Madison. She’s so darn cute, so I can see why they wanted to do photos together. Don’t wait for an engagement or a special event to get photos taken, do them Just Because! Could she possibly be any cuter? NO! […]

Sarah and Nick wanted festive family photos to include in their Christmas cards, so we went to historic Jamestown! I love shooting in the Jamestown and Sonora area because there’s so much history, interesting old buildings, and lush greenery. We had a ball photographing in Jamestown’s sweet shop, outside antique stores, and on the street. […]

I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!! I know I say I love all my clients, and I do, but I have different relationships with all of them. We photographed April and Robert’s wedding back in 2007, and over the years I’ve become especially fond of April and consider her a friend (even more so since she trusted […]

This fall family session with the Pulizzi family was a lot of fun, especially when the kids decided to wade into the water and be silly. THAT’S my jam, what makes great photos, and why I do what I do. Thank you, Pulizzi Family, for trusting me to take photos of your beautiful family! Modesto […]

I’ve known Madison since she was a little girl, and now I’m watching her grow into a beautiful young woman. Wow, it goes so fast!!! She has always been HER, a sweet, generous, kind, quiet cat lover. She loves writing music and playing her guitar, so we had to go into the city and shoot […]

Meet Ami, Victor, Brooke, Hank, and Hayden, the Avila Family! WOW did I have an amazing time with them! I met Ami and Victor is 2007 when I photographed their Oakdale wedding. They are sweet, down-to-earth, happy people and now they have three beautiful children. It’s always an honor to be brought into a family’s […]

I’m not going to lie, this photo shoot was a challenge, like a lot of newborn shoots. Poor little baby Eden was NOT HAVIN’ IT! She really really didn’t want to have her photo taken. But between Dulcenea feeding her and Tom singing to her and me snapping photos between screams, we accomplished some amazing […]

We had the honor of photographing Chelsea and Orlando’s wedding several years ago, and now they have this adorable, chubby little addition to their family! Congratulations guys, on your beautiful baby girl. I know how badly you wanted her. She’s amazing! This family loves to laugh together! Nothing like a photo of daddy with baby […]

Michelle and Chance are pretty much pre-engaged, enjoying their lives together, building a cool little blended family unit. They’re a wonderful couple with an adorable little baby, Maverick. It’s so wonderful to see Michelle so happy again! We photographed her first wedding in 2005, which was beautiful and tons of fun. Unfortunately, her husband passed […]

I’ve known Summer for a while now. We went to beauty school together ten years ago, and she bought my first VOGUE coffee table!! So we go way back. She’s cute, feisty, and giggles a lot. I love seeing her so happy with Michael. Their chemistry is clear. They laugh together, and that is a […]

Amber and Jake wanted natural, unique family photos, and that’s what they got! We met them at Dutch Hollow Tulip Farm and braved the wind. Little Blakeleih wasn’t very happy, but we managed to make her smile with the help of her squeaky giraffe. Photographing babies involves a lot of baby talk and acting like […]

When Sarah came in to book her wedding with me I had no idea she would change my life. I’m very hands-on with each and every one of our clients. So in the course of Sarah and Nick’s engagements, Sarah’s boudoir, and their wedding, I got to know Sarah and we hit it off. We […]
