It has been about a month since my computer crashed and I was left hopeless to ever catching up on edits! Thankfully with several backups I did not loose any currect work just current edits!! Since I have been back up in running I have been able to finish up this lovely famiy’s matenrity and newborn session. Before miss Cate was born in December this sweet family and I captured some beautiful maternity shots at park near the Gibson’s house. It was a sweet moment watching Cate’s sisters cozy in next to Natalie to get closer that sweet (little) baby bump!!
I mean really is there even a baby in there!
It was such a gorgeous fall day. If I remember correctly we had just dodged the rain.
I loved watching the interaction between this sweet little family. This little baby was about to be their whole world and you could just see the joy and excitement in each one of their eyes.
Baby Cate arrived on on December 7th and just a few days later I was getting the chance to hang out for the day and get to know her sweet little self. Well she slept most of the time which was music to my ears but she rarely was startled and barely cried.
The girls were so gentle with their little sister. I think I hogged her a little too long because they kept asking when they got to hold her again! They were so excited to just be in her presence. Everytime I looked up they were peering around the backdrop watching her contently.
She will definitelynever be lacking in the hugs and kisses department!
You have to have a little touch of christmas for this December baby.
Her sweet little details- I wonder what features are mommy’s and which ones are daddy’s?
She just slept so well for us we were able to get so many different setups. Even though I provide all the props and outfits we will need I love pulling in things from the home. Mom had an outfit that someone had given her so we used that in one setup and then we did a few in her crib with some stuffed toys gramma had made her as well as some beautiful paper flowers that were soon going up on the wall a friend had made. You can already tell that not only is this little lady adored by her family but by her village of friends as well!

Before the weather turned to freezing the Hamlin family and myself spent the afternoon in old Folsom playing around in parking garages, teasing little brother and just being goofballs. I have known Adam (dad) for several years as a friend to my fiancé and Karate master to my son, now I can say I know Adam as a parent and husband. They are quite the adventurous family. I can tell that Adam and Anna are great parents, teachers and confidants to their children.
This big bro made my afternoon easy. Such a calming sole and a great big brother.
Aww Mr Marcus the goober!! I think he might be a comedian one day or an actor. He had so many great faces!
Little Logan- the Boss!! He took a while to warm up but once he did, well just look at that sweet smile.
You can really tell they all look out for each other and genuinely have fun together!
Of course it is always a competition who is taller and bigger and smarter!!
I really enjoyed getting to know this family a little better. These three boys are such little comrades and they let me into their little world for a just a while to capture what it is like to be them!! Adam and Anna sure have their hands full with this rambunctious group but I have a feeling they can be just as rambunctious as their children!!

Vanessa contacted me back in the summer to photograph her sweet little family. They had recently moved back from North Carolina and was looking for a photographer similar to who they had used where they previously had lived and she found that my work met those needs. Before I even asked her who she had used in North Carolina I was secretly hoping It was Tamara Lackey Studios (My photography idol!) and when those words came out of her mouth I was dumbfounded and so honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as her! I was so excited and quite nervous hoping my work was comparable!! Fast forward a few months and I get to meet her lovely family! Now I know I am a good photographer but boy did their little spitfire two year old make my job easy!
I just couldn’t get over the way she waddled down the walkway it was the cutest thing and when you caleld her name and she looked back she always had a smile on her face.
I mean how often do you get this shot on the first try. Usually baby is pulling away and definately not looking at the camera smiling!
I loved capturing every little detail that was Selma. From her cute little red shoes and chubby legs to the sweet way she explored every last bit of the park.
She sure enjoys her mommy and daddy!
I mean really how many sweet poses can we get with this family!
Does anybody else get lost in those gorgeous eyes!
Peek-a-boo I see you!
I can tell she is always making her parents laugh and they are always making her giggle!
As the afternoon started to come to an end little miss was getting tired which meant for lots of sweet moments cuddling up with mommy and daddy.
But of course there is always enough energy to fly high in the air with daddy.
I can tell that these three have such a crazy time together and never take life too seriously! Getting to hang with them for the afternoon helped me to remember to appreciate the sweet, silly and meltdown moments because all those moments make up the memory of who your child was at that time.

Miss Ariana turned One last month and boy was she excited. We started this little missy’s birthday bash in old folsom. This girl celebrates in style! Look at those gold balloons. Miss thang gave me so many smiles it was hard to narrow down these beautiful images.
I just love capturing little ones posing with such swagger. Look at that leg bend. she is a natural!! and those tiny hands and tiny feet!
Of course we had to celebrate with mommy and daddy! They have so many things to be grateful for on your birthday! You are their little miracle baby and celebrating you is the most important thing to them!
I just adore when mommy and baby look into eachothers eyes. I’m sure it takes you back to those midnight feedings all over again. Looking in to those eyes while she drifts back off to sleep.
My daddy and I have a speical bond, he makes me laugh laugh laugh!!
Of course this October baby had to get some shots at Zittels pumpkin patch! She look so big next to these pumpkins!
I had such a blast hanging out with Ariana and her mommy and daddy It was so great getting to know the little person she has become!!

I was so pleased when Alycia contacted me to photograph her maternity and newborn pictures. I have known her handsome other half since he was a snot nosed little preschooler who annoyed the crap out of his older sister and myself. To my delight he has grown up to be a loving, nuturing and kind man and maybe a male model. I mean look at these two, they rocked this rustic maternity shoot at #lehmanbarn.
Can you say model eyes!
Kiss that belly.
Alycia can totally rock this hat!!
At the very end of the session a gorgeous sunset revealed itself and made for an amazing backdrop for our last few pictures.
Baby Penwood Rose has arrived and thanks to her daddy and some faulty autocorrect she has
been giving a great nickname!!
You are just so cute I could just eat you!
Gorgeous mommy love
Aunty Sammy picks out the cutest outfits. Too bad I didnt stay asleep long enough for aunty Mal Mals outfit!
We got a smile!
I just love getting to be a part of my friends and families special moments! It makes my job that much more fulfilling! Little Penelope Rose you are just the sweetest thing and I cannot wait to watch you grow!
