Premier Photography in the greater Sacramento and El Dorado Counties

Thanks for coming by! There really is no greater work than doing something you love and something that challenges you to grow, improve, stretch and learn. Photography is just that for us. We never arrive at some place of finality, success, or creative end. Rather, we evolve with the ebb and flow of our view of the world, our creativity, our inspirations and aspirations, together with our client's expectations for their portrait experience.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at where we are right here and right now. Thanks for being a part of the experience and pushing us to give more back to you than we can gain. And thanks for challenging us everyday.

Giggles at Sunset

Posted in Families, Just for Fun, Lifestyle, Little Ones

I’m pretty certain I’m having at least as much fun as the preschoolers and kids I meet on location. I used to think it was just part of the gig, rolling around on the grass, laughing til my face hurt, chasing little ones around tree trunks in a silly game of tag. But now it’s clear. It’s simply not just the gig. I love laughing like that! I do. I love that kids find me strange. Weird. Even a bit ~ er ~ a LOT crazy. I love it! The laughing from the core of my soul as they find the giggles on the other end of my lens is what I look forward to. I pray on my way to each session, always have. It goes something like this: “Dear God, please help me find the fun and bring out the fun in this lil’ gig you’ve blessed me with. Make it fun! Make it memorable. For them and for me. Amen” And he’s delivered again today.

I love the side shot of the sweet baby with the flower! The blurry background, the head to tiny toes view is adorable. What a cutie!

Hey Dad – I’m glad you are seeing these – it’s been a while. I hope you are doing well. Don’t know why you stay so far away from us – but you must feel it is best. I love you.

The Abel Family, On Location

Posted in Families, Just for Fun, Lifestyle

We love playing tag with 2 and 3 year olds during family sessions. We enjoy blowing bubbles and giggling like a school kid, just to connect with a preschooler. It’s what we do, it’s what we shoot, and we look forward to it every time.

However, sometimes it’s nice just to be an adult. Even if for just an hour. To talk about college, and classes and cameras. To share stories about home renovations, redesigns and dance recitals. And THAT’s what we got to do this week with the Abel family. No babies. No toddlers. Only 2 grown college kids and their parents! What a joy to not talk in a high pitched voice and ramble on about baby dolls and matchbox cars! …. we’ll just hold off on that until NEXT week! Until then… check out our grown up photo time. Thanks Abel family for the laughs!

Joshua is One

Posted in Families, Just for Fun, Lifestyle, Little Ones

He’s walking, shooting hoops and all around adorable. Joshua and his family invited us over to play and capture a few images in honor of his turning one. Next time I want to come out and get Joshie’s big sister playing DRUMS! She’s great!

Enjoy your quick peek into your session!
