Bidwell Park is so beautiful this time of year. There are little patches of wildflowers everywhere you turn and the creek is full and flowing. Nature at it’s finest. But all of that pales in comparison to Lexi, my most recent senior girl session. When Lexi arrived at our location in Upper Park, I knew […]

I’ve been talking to Sherry Swartz of Classic Blinds and Design for quite some time now. We were introduced by Sherry’s web designer and we were finally able to connect at one of her newest projects – a huge Mediterranean-style home with an insanely grand entrance, tall ceilings throughout, a huge kitchen, five bedrooms, and […]

I love before and afters. Who doesn’t, right? When Lauren O’Donnell of Lauren O’Donnell Interiors asked me to photograph her newest bathroom remodel, I knew it was going to be great. Mostly, because her projects always are, but also because she was doing this bathroom for her sister. She had sent me the before picture […]

Imagine being an 18-year-old freshman in college going out for the water polo team. It’s pretty intimidating. Now imagine walking up to the pool deck and being greeted by the biggest, most welcoming smile. She was an experienced player in her senior year, team captain, and the nicest person – thank goodness for Melody! All […]

Taking senior portraits of Anna was so much fun. We know her family and actually purchased our home from them a little over two years ago. Anna has always been such a delightful person. She’s a hard worker too. Ever since she was 15, she has been working at our favorite steakhouse, 5th Street Steakhouse, […]

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. […]

I’ve made a huge deal out of this. I’ve posted on instagram about it. I’ve done multiple stories leading up to it. I’ve laid awake at night thinking about what chair would be best? What lamp? What rug? I’ve talked to friends. I’ve walked through Ikea with two kids for 3.5 hours (only to find […]

I love first birthday shoots. Mostly because ages 6 months to 1.5 years old is my favorite time to watch these tiny humans grow. They learn so so much in this time – they walk, talk, dance, gain so much personality, interact with you constantly, learn to voice their opinions, I could go on… This […]

Toward the end of last year, and over the course of about a month, I heard the same thing from at least four different people. “You HAVE to meet Tami Faulkner; you would LOVE her.” I didn’t know Tami at the time, but clearly, I HAD to meet her. I wasn’t sure how I was […]

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 […]
