As you’ll soon see in these posts, my portrait sessions are not the same old same old. I work hard to make sure you are relaxed and able to be YOURSELF at our portrait session. It’s so critical for me to get the real you. Because anyone who knows you knows the difference between your real smile and your fake smile. And I’m ninja trained to spot the difference to help you avoid it at all costs…and that generally involves laughter, so be warned!
Meet my new friend Jamal….oh wait I forgot that I have to call him J. Redd now. :] Mr. Redd is an up and coming musician. When he asked me to take pictures to update his portfolio, I was honored. J is from the Bay area and not too familiar with Sacramento, so I suggested […]
If you’ve looked through my images, you’ve probably noticed a pattern of mostly on location shots. I love to get outside and photograph people in beautiful environments. Natural light is just so wonderful! However, traditional studio lighting can be fun too and doesn’t always have to be traditional if you don’t want it to be. […]
This is Sabrina and her youngest daughter Olivia. Yes the same Olivia I shot downtown that’s shown in my previous post. Mom was so happy with the pictures that she decided to join in on the fun. Now you all get to see Olivia’s mother and know where this little girl gets all that charm […]
This is Olivia. She is my dear friend Sabrina’s daughter and just a little doll! We had so much fun doing this shoot. I do enjoy photographing children. Most of them have not developed any fears or hang-ups about having their picture taken and if you spend a little time warming them up to you […]
Another portrait session with make-up and hair. This time I got to work with a talented girl from Modesto, Summer. She worked her magic on Destiny and we headed over to El Dorado Hills for the photoshoot. Here are some of my favorite shots. Summer getting Destiny ready… And of course Summer herself (what a […]
I had the opportunity to collaborate on a portrait shoot with one of my favorite make-up artists and hair stylists, the extremely talented Sabrina Britschgi. She also provided the clothing. I can’t tell you how much great hair, make-up and clothing make a difference in your pictures. For this shoot we ventured out to Wine […]
I’m so pleased that my first post of the new year is my new friend Ninja Bob. Ninja Bob is a special soul, a poor misguided child who whose mother named her with a boy’s name. An unnecessary introduction to gender confusion in my humble opinion. But seriously, what a cutie pie dog! I now […]
Brittany needed some updated shots for her portfolio, so we headed up to Folsom for a location shoot. Old town was a little crowded with last minute Christmas shoppers, so we headed over to Lake Natoma Inn to avoid all the people. The light was good and so was the scenery. We both laughed a […]
When Adrienne contacted me to capture her beautiful pregnancy for her I was flattered. First of all, I love maternity shots; pregnant women just have a certain glow… Secondly, Adrienne is a local photographer. So, when one of your own asks you to take pictures, it’s extra special! You can see her work here: Adrienne […]
