Yuba City Family Photographer | {The love affair}

While I can capture the 'textbook' sun-flare with the best of them, I love the taste of something new. Something artistic and not usually seen as beautiful. I am in LOVE with the hazy look of sun covering my lens this year...I am not sure why. Maybe its because its 'vintage' looking and reminds me of the dog days of summer. Maybe its because the regular 'old' sun flares have been done so many times. I am not sure. But when I was up editing tonight and I pulled this photo up, I just had to share. My love of the sun continues. I am sure its a phase. It can't last forever, right? ;)

Huge thank you to Rebecca Cook for inspiring this shot!

Yuba City Photographer | {Save the date!}

Don't forget to save the date for Friday, August 21 and Saturday, August 22 for the Modern Mothers Art Exhibit and Event!

Together with Tranquil Moments Wellness Spa and Blessings by Design, I am hosting a Friday night launch event in which my art will be on display at the spa (located in Hillcrest Plaza). We will be doing live belly casting, live henna application, have jewelry sales, spa staff on hand, and Blessings by Design owners will be available for meet & greet...and of course, I will be there. I will have lots of photos to show you, my newborn book will be available- come see if your baby is featured!

SPECIAL PROMOS will be going on all evening. We will have appetizers & refreshments on Friday night and lots of networking with other local Modern Mothers.

Saturday's event is a Milk and Cookies Matinee showing of my art, meet & greets and more!

This is a free community event & we all hope to see you there! Stay tuned to my blog for more details!

Yuba City Photographer | {Updates to the website!}

Make sure to check out the main flash site if you haven't already! I updated my splash page, all of my galleries, the details section...pretty much everything has had a mini make-over!

If you no longer see your family featured on my galleries, I do apologize. My work is evolving and growing and I want to keep my page as up to date as possible with my newer style and art.

On that note, if you would like to have a new & updated session done, please contact me soon! This summer is filling up fast! And, for returning clients ONLY, I am featuring a discount on an updated family session! This special will only be available from July 20-August 1 and will be heavily discounted to past clients who wish to update a family photo. Contact me for details!

I leave you with this photo of the "C Family" from Wednesday evening! So cute!

Yuba City Family Photographer | {Happy 4th of July}

from my family to yours...





and yes, each photo is a different baby. I have to be fair! :)

Yuba City Newborn Photographer | {Tiny Miracle}

Meet Claire. She is a miracle. Enough said. :)

Yuba City Family Photographer | {Evan wtih his Mommy & Daddy}

I think its a tie between Evan from the "Mc" family and Mila from the "B" family as to who is photographed by me more often...I love seeing my clients grow up and its especially special when its your friend's baby. Evan is 6 months and now almost 7 months and we had a great time doing a little traveling family session tonight.

Enjoy this handsome boy! He is sooo sweet!







And, yes, my obsession with sun flares continues...to me, summer is sun flares, bare feet, tan lines and family!

Yuba City Maternity Photographer | {Katrina}

This glowing mom-to-be came referred by one of my Sacramento clients and made the drive up in the scorching heat. I felt so bad for her to be pregnant in over 100 degree weather. What a trooper she was though...and up for all sorts of fun! She and her husband are expecting their first baby almost exactly 1 year after their wedding...its been a busy year for this newlywed couple! ;)

Thanks to Duane and Katrina for a great shoot and for not totally laughing at my fear of spiders! :) HA HA!





A big thanks to Rebecca for inspiring this shot:

Yuba City Photographer | {Megan & her beautiful family}

Last night I had the privilege of photographing this gorgeous woman, Megan and her family. Megan is a girl I went to highschool with and is currently fighting her 3rd battle with cancer. She is so courageous and strong-- what an inspiration to us all!

She has 9 year old twins and a 9 week old new baby. Her and her husband are SO in love...you could just feel the love and support last night as we worked on capturing some family moments.

Enjoy your sneak peek "T" family! I hope to see you soon and capture the WHOLE family!









I have been dying to use this chair on a little baby for awhile now...he was the perfect choice:
