Sacramento Newborn Photography – Little Miss A – 4 Days Old

July 30, 2010

Ok, I have NO patience, whatsoever. I had a session today with the sweetest family. The same afternoon, my family and I drove to Tahoe for a family visit, and I did some editing on the way because I had to see the photos, NOW! I did their maternity portraits at the Rosegarden at the Capital a few months ago, and I’ve been so excited to hear the news that their daughter had arrived. She is SOOOO beautiful, and she was so easy to work with today! She was the cutest, sweetest little button! I’m excited to share this sneak peek with the family – congratulations to you, and I know you will get some rest soon!

Ceremony at St. Dominics Catholic Church – the architecture was amazing, and the church was just gorgeous.

And… after the full Mass, everyone headed to the City Club for a great party!

San Francisco Reception at the City Club on Bush

I looooved all of the details – all including peacock feathers. Vivien put so much work and detail into the reception.

After a delicious dinner, the bride and groom invited all of the guests downstairs to an area that was transformed into an elegant nightclub dance floor. This group knew how to party and have a good time!

What to Wear Wednesday

July 13, 2010

I’m excited to start sharing some ideas with you for family sessions! I’m going to try to post these a few times a month to match with the season… so here is the first! I scoured some of my favorite websites, and found four great coordinating outfits that would work really well for a family shoot. Forget the khaki and whites – its all about coordinating your fun and bold colors!

Another great wedding photographed as a second shooter for Scott Fischbein. He really has been so great to work with and I am learning so much from him. He’s full of energy, fun to work with, and he works with the most beautiful clients! I had a great time photographing Molly and Danny’s Sacramento wedding. We did some bridal shots at the park at the Capital before the ceremony. They were married at the beautiful Sacred Heart Catholic Church (gorgeous church), and had their reception at the Dante Club in Sacramento.

San Francisco, Treasure Island Wedding Photography

June 29, 2010

Just getting caught up tonight on my blog posts! I was a second shooter for Costanza Photography for this amazing day. It was very clear on the Bay, mostly because of the wind. The wedding was on Treasure Island, which is in the middle of the Bay Bridge span, just outside of San Francisco. The venue overlooked the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco! It was spectacular! The father of the bride was retired from the fire department, so there were a few special fire department related events after the wedding. Especially memorable, was the fire boat sent over. Keep in mind that this was a VERY windy day… and the boat images below will show it. The entire bridal party (and the photographers) got a bit soaked with ocean water. We also were able to get the couple away for some really fun shots at an abandoned gas station, and abandoned bowling alley just around the corner from the reception. Totally fun!

River Mill Wedding, Stockton / French Camp

June 29, 2010

I’m very behind on my blog posts… because I have been so busy with the start of wedding season. I have been so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some very talented and experienced wedding photographers so far this year. I was not sure that wedding photography was going to be the thing for me… that is, until I photographed my first solo wedding in Lake Tahoe in May. I decided that I loved it! There is just something magical about weddings, and capturing that day for the couple starting their journey forward together.

This is the third wedding that I shot – and the couple were the sweetest ever! I loved working with the bride Samantha – we got to spend quite a bit of time on bridal portraits before the ceremony. I just felt so welcomed by the couple and their family. The location was at the River Mill, in Stockton, which is a gorgeous venue. It was a pleasure to work with Scott Fischbein as a second shooter during this fabulous day. I’m learning so much from him already, and I’m looking forward to the third wedding I’ll be shooting with him in San Francisco in July! Here are some images from the day!

Echo: What a beautiful bride! I know that florist was excited to have something other than a hand-tied to make. :)

vickie: I really love the emotion you captured in these. I know they will be thrilled to have these memories captured so beautifully.

Brooke Moxley: Great job! I love the look on her face during the ceremony!

Sacramento Family Photography – Old Town Sacramento

June 29, 2010

I love Old Town on a Sunday evening. The crowds have died down, and the sidewalks are empty. Perfect for a photo shoot! It was a VERY hot day on Sunday, but we had a great time during this family session. The little ones did a great job even with the afternoon heat. Enjoy your sneak peek A&R.

Sacramento Maternity Photography – 7 Months

May 24, 2010

I had a great session with Mr & Mrs M this weekend! They are due with their first baby in just two months. This beautiful mama to be is gorgeous at seven months pregnant! Thank goodness this strange May weather gave us a break during our shoot; it was overcast (perfect for shooting), but it didn’t end up raining. I love the images, and I hope that you do too! Here is your “sneak peek”!
