I signed up as a reseller of Organic Bloom frames in the Sacramento area last year, and I keep forgetting to put up a blog post about it! I had an inquiry this evening, so I thought I would add a post to talk a little bit about these gorgeous frames!  They come in a huge assortment of shapes and sizes, and in 54 colors!  They are hand crafted right here in the United States, by a small business in Oklahoma that exclusively sells them through photographers.  If you are looking for a reseller in Sacramento, I would be more than happy to help you!  Please email me or call me and I can forward an emailed catalog of colors and shapes, along with pricing.

I’ll add more images later, but here is just one of my favorite shapes – the “Lucy”.

I want to THANK this lovely couple for being so sweet and understanding this evening… I locked my keys in the car just as they were pulling up to start our maternity session in Roseville today.  We sat and had coffee and water while we waited for the tow truck to break into my car.  It was nice getting to know a little about these two.  Their little baby boy is due in just two weeks.  She looks FABULOUS with just two weeks to go!

It was great to meet another lovely family – and work with their sweet little newborn baby boy.  Just a small share….

I’m so excited about my brother’s family photos this year.  I have been doing their photos for several years in a row, and I really loved the session this year!  The kids are growing like weeds, and we found a gorgeous location to shoot this year.  I love shooting in the Fall – the sun stays lower all day, and the “golden hour” is exceptionally golden this time of year.  Love my family… here they are!

I am ready!  Christmas is only 25 days away, our tree is up, decorations abound in our home, and it smells like the season!  I just finished designing one of our family holiday cards.  I am very indecisive when it comes to holiday cards every year.  I can’t stand to send out just one design, so I make 2 or 3 every year.  I did one set of 25 in letterpress, and then this set of 25 in Luxe Trifold.  Hmmm, will I get around to one more set?  Just wanted to share.  I do create these for clients as well!  Email me if you are interested in ordering.

Our lovely family photos (bottom inside flap and back of the card) were taken by my friend Katie Baldi.  We traded family sessions this year…  LOVE them! 

Quick sneak peek for this beautiful couple, expecting their baby in early 2012. Can’t wait to meet their sweet little girl!

Just a quick little share of this beautiful family.  This is my friend, and fellow photographer, Katie’s family.  Her three children are SO adorable, and being kids of a photographer, they know how to work the camera.   We traded family shoots this year, and I’m so glad.  I love how our family portraits turned out (taken in Tahoe in the summer), and it was really fun working with her family.  I have to say, the are my “What to Wear” family.  They dressed so cute for the session!  I will share more later, but had to show this adorable sneak peek!

I had a wonderful weekend visiting family in San Jose for a few days.  I also did a Bay Area mini session during my visit.  It was a very rainy cloudy weekend in the forecast, so I made arrangements to shoot at Santana Row.  (Photographers – there is an hourly fee to shoot here… just a heads up).  There were so many fabulous spots to shoot, it was really fun for me.  I had four lovely families come out… some that I met for the first time that day, one family that I have known for a long time, and one family whose newborn photos I shot!  It was great to work with everyone, and I love how the images turned out!  More coming soon!

It is finally slowing down after a busy summer for me with weddings and portrait work.  I am very behind on blogging, but I wanted to share a fun fall afternoon that I spent with my kids at Apple Hill.  I love visiting this region, and I hope that my kids will never forget the fun day trips that we take each year.
