Jenna is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful, caring, and beautiful people I know. So when she contacted me to take portraits of her family, I was thrilled to get to spend some time with her and her familia! Jenna wanted something a little different for her session and was looking for a more urban feel to the shoot. So we headed to downtown Sacramento on K Street to get some casual portraits of Jenna, her fantastic guy James and her lovely daughter Kailah.
The session ended up being a mix of family, individual and couple portraits. I always allow plenty of time with family sessions so we can capture the individuals and their unique relationships within the family. Plus the extra time we spend just helps create a more relaxed look. I guess it’s my own brand of “no pressure” pictures. Besides, it is so much better when we’re all having fun.
We started at the corner of K Street & 10th…



We did a little twist on the “dip” shot…and incorporated the train. I wonder what the people onboard were thinking

And you can’t do a downtown session, without running into some of Sacramento’s more “colorful” characters…


Aren’t they purdy?

James fits in really well with these two girls I think…


A little Beatles inspiration…

They’ve known each other since high school.

Aren’t they just a great looking family?



I love the way he looks at her…

Check out the highlights from our session in the slideshow.
That little girl is beautiful, and I love all your bold colors. Great set of photos, Teresa. I'm sure the family loves them.
Beautiful family- and I love those individual portraits. Gorgeous.
Gorgeous looking family! Love the little homage to the Beatles shot.
Teresa, you killed it! What a unique family session, I love it!
Teresa I gotta love that beatles shot 😉 Great job showing off how beautiful this family is. I'm sure they're thrilled. Also the kiss by the passing train is epic. Nicely done.
Have a blessed merry xmas everybody.
