How sweet are those names? Ziggy and Maya. They’re the cutest brother and sister, and our good friends’ sweet babies. I can’t tell you how cute they are in person, although, you can obviously see below. Most photo sessions with three month olds with older siblings don’t go very smooth but this one was cake. […]

The Lifetime show, Designing Spaces, recently made it’s way to Chico to film an episode of a beautiful kitchen remodel by designer Lauren O’Donnell, in collaboration with Build.com. I got to be there on the final shoot day, which featured the reveal and home owner and designer interviews – what a fun experience! Here are […]

Sometimes I shoot from home. Especially if it’s a styled food shoot since most of my props and equipment are here at home. The other day while shooting for a client, I was finishing up and the kids hopped on to my set. They had a bowl of grapes, and the grapes plus their sweet […]

It was the perfect day for pictures…said none of us, as the day was shaping up to rain.

All this to say, it’s really hard to […]

Over the past year, I’ve consciously shifted my photography business from portrait photography over to almost all interiors photography. That’s not to say I don’t still love doing portrait sessions, it’s just not my main focus right now. But this time of year, the blossoms are insanely beautiful so I wanted to keep my schedule […]

Ahhhhh… the amazingness that is a girls weekend! Girls weekends have a little different meaning these days – since two of my best girlfriends have baby girls the same age as my daughter, Eleanor. Our girls weekends used to consist of adult “girls” drinking lots of champagne, going to pool parties, and late nights out. […]

Since February is known as the month the love, it seems fitting to be posting about this adorable couple. Mike and Kaylee’s engagement session in Upper Bidwell Park was perfect. It was the first beautiful day we had seen in quite a few weeks and when they showed up, they were dressed perfectly for the […]
