My sweet friends are about to welcome their very first baby, and I was over the moon when they asked me to capture this special season. Since they just moved to the area, photographing them in the golden Folsom fields made their session even more meaningful.

There’s something so magical about morning light, and this Pleasanton park family session made the most of it. With two adorable sisters in matching denim, we captured sweet cuddles, giggles, and lots of playful moments in the soft sunshine.

Morning sessions are perfect for families with young kids—calm parks, dreamy light, and happy little ones ready to explore. These two had the best time running around and snuggling up with mom and dad.

I’ve been capturing this mama daughter duo since the moment she was born. And now this little lady is almost three and full of spark and sass in the best way. It’s that magical age where they're curious about everything, want to do everything themselves, but still need their mama close by for snuggles. This is the age I call “toddler-led sessions” where they basically do the opposite of everything we ask, so instead of asking we just let them take control and explore.

Fall is a season that brings warmth, beautiful colors, and the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones. I had the joy of photographing this sweet family during their fall mini shoot in Pleasanton. With autumn’s golden glow, the beautiful backdrop of fall foliage, and little Hudson’s infectious smile, it was an afternoon full of love, laughter, and sweet moments.

SO in love with this dreamy studio shoot I recently did for one of my besties who's expecting her first baby next month. This was my first time shooting a maternity session in a studio and I love the soft and romantic vibe we created.

We opted for warm background colors and simple flower props, letting this mama-to-be glow like the absolute goddess she is!

Such a special session documenting two good friends in a beautiful new season of their life! Our goal was to capture frame-worthy moments as they anticipate the arrival of their baby girl, Cora.

We were hoping to catch the golden hour light and this Folsom Lake location definitely delivered. The sunlight over the tall grass created such a magical and dreamy atmosphere and I was able to capture the exact photos I had envisioned.

I live right next to farm fields in Sacramento and this was the first year that I’ve seen sunflowers grown! I kept seeing these beautiful flowers glowing orange in the sunset and I just knew that I had to plan a session here!! So I called up my best friend and her husband (who live a mile away) for a quick mini shoot with their 4 month old, Colbie.
