Chico California Children's Photographer: Bits and Pieces

There are seasons in photography and I am definitely coming off of a very busy season. The fall is when wedding season collides with senior pictures, which collides with new babies being born, which collides with family sessions. These are the times when my poor husband lives off of grilled cheese sandwiches -- when my laundry lies in heaps around the basket because the basket is so full -- when I drink a few too many starbucks (or lately, tea lattes from the Tea Bar). I know, you almost feel bad for us, huh?
In all of this, I love my job and I love the seasons of this work. I haven't had the time to blog every single session lately, simply for times sake, but I did want to show off some of the beautiful children that I have worked with.

These two showed up at the end of their brother's senior portrait session. Definitely had to capture a bit of their cuteness:)



This four week old baby loved, and I mean LOVED his Dad. What a great giggle...


Oh, and this girl is just so sweet. Look at those cheeks :)



Cheers to the fall season!

Chico California Wedding Photographer: Ryan and Kristine

Last week, I delivered a finished wedding product to one of my clients -- and I realized that I was kind of sad. Sad, because there is so much work I get to do with clients leading up to their wedding day. I don't want my work with them to end! I really feel like I get to know my clients and the following is one of the reasons:
My relationship with my clients begins from the first interaction, whether by email or phone call. However, the engagement session is really when I get to know my brides and grooms better. It really prepares me for the wedding day -- allowing me to see how the two interact and how I can best put them at ease and bring out their incredible beauty. So, naturally, I love engagement sessions and weddings and then, in the end, I don't want any of it to end!
Meet Ryan and Kristine -- they are a beautiful couple and will be getting married at Canyon Oaks Country Club in May. Ryan is outgoing and Kristine is lovely -- they compliment one another so well. I loved watching Ryan take such good care of Kristine. I loved how Kristine respects Ryan. And, I am thrilled that this is just the beginning of my work with them! Cheers Ryan and Kristine! I love every side of you two!

Chico California Newborn Photographer: Baby Dylan

I am always so blessed to work with the cutest newborns -- Baby Dylan is no exception. He was such a great baby -- and look at all his hair! I enjoyed taking photos of his beautiful Mom before he was born and I just loved meeting him one week after his birth. You can see the bond that he has already formed with his parents. They are truly a beautiful family! Thanks Leah and Yancey for sharing your son!




Leah and Dylan are so sweet!


I love the interactions with Dylan and Yancey!

Chico Newborn Portrait Photographer: Baby Ethan

Baby Ethan -- you are wonderful! You are too cute for your own good and I know why your parents can't get enough of you...
This month many babies have been born and I must say that taking photos of newborns is becoming one of my favorite things. Newborns are absolutely breathtaking!
Baby Ethan is a beautiful new creation -- he brings so much joy to his parents and I am just so glad to have been able to document him during his first week of life! What a blessing for me. Thank you so much Megan and Ryan!






I snapped a few photos of the nursey, but this has to be my favorite shot.


Ethan was so good to sleep through nearly all of the session!


Here are some photos of Ethan in his Daddy's arms.


The side angle from the last shot :)


He just loves snuggling close to his Mother!


Ok, just one more of his cute, little face!
