Loveland Family Photographer Newcastle California

 This is my incredible Uncle Mike and Aunt Lynette! They have been such lifesavers since moving to California almost six years ago! I cannot believe how the time has flown by. I remember going to my cousins' (the boys in the pictures) Eagle Scout projects at their elementary school, Newcastle Elementary School, never did I imagine that one day my kids would be attending this school!

You seriously never know whose life you are teaching and the paths you are crossing! Thanks so much for all you guys have done for me and my family!

Maddy Senior Portrait Photographer Newcastle California

 I've known Maddy since she was fourteen, I was her teacher at our church's youth group. She was always super kind to everyone, and seriously just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside!

Although I am a touch jealous, I hope you Hawaii is amazing and that you have an awesome time! 

Andrews Wedding Photographer Foresthill California

I loving getting in on all the fun as a wedding photographer!

You get front row seats to everything, including the interactions of the bride and groom :)

 This couple was courteous and kind... so much fun to see!

  They got married in beautiful Foresthill in a log building surrounded by family and friends.

  Thanks for letting me crash the party!

Zach Child and Family Photographer Reno Nevada

I never thought I would get the privilege of finding another child with eyes as dark as my Bella's... but Zach showed me...

This little boy was in fact one dapper dude! Would only give me a slight smirk, but I was okay with that because those eyes say it all!

 They say "the hips don't lie", but I think she meant the eyes :) 

Page Engagement Wedding Photographer Orangevale California

 This is Sheldon and Jessica... every time I look at these photos it makes me love being in love.

 Now bear with me, this couple has been married for awhile now, but I just had to post these because this couple is amazing! They have since had three children: Patience, Patrick and Hope. They have been through a lot, but you can tell their love is strong and will help them get through even more!

Fronze Family Holiday Photographer El Dorado Hills California

Christmas in July, anyone? Oh wait, it's only May... (remember I am still catching up :)

 The Fronze's are adorable.. have you ever seen such cute toe-headed children? 

 They are so sweet, and they have the names to match: Sadie and Sutton.

This photo really says it all! Thanks Fronze Family for letting me capture your sweet family for the holidays.

Greco Wedding Photographer Salt Lake City Temple Utah

This is my sister Malerie and her husband Stephen...

 Little sister=a lot of fun!

 I didn't actually photograph the wedding (I don't like to when I am too close to the couple) but I did get the privilege of capturing a few shots.

Seriously so beautiful! 

 I love taking photos of people close to me, because then I challenge myself to try and capture their personalities as well as their beauty!

 Luckily, she made that pretty easy.

Congrats Greco Family!

Rivers Engagement Photographer Folsom California

Talk about a couple with gorgeous smiles!  

 These two were such a blast to photograph... and although time has passed, these two are still happily married and now expecting their first. Congrats!

 Not to mention he is kind of famous, because he has a song on i-tunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jesus-lover-of-my-soul-single/id858049440

Courtney Family Photographer Folsom California

 If you want to meet the two most rambunctious little boys: look no further!

 These kids are adorable and have a ton of energy!

 Luckily we could capture a few good family photos, because the father found out he has brain cancer and actually has had to have several procedures and surgeries. 

He is doing good right now, and I hope it continues to go great for him!

Hadley Newborn Photographer Auburn California

 This little sweetheart was born to one of the cutest families I know... and the opposite of mine: two little boys followed by this little girl.

 

Little Hadley definitely was not so little, weighing in at nine pounds nine ounces!

 Congrats Jason and Ginny! She is beautiful!

Brynn Senior Portrait Photographer Loomis California

Del Oro is loosing some of its finest this year, including this chicka who is stunning and can create some of the most amazing works of art.

She is also smart, funny, and athletic! I am so excited to see where she ends up. 

Plus, she was such a good sport while photographing downtown... she even sat in the middle of the road for me so we could get some fun shots. 

Good luck at college!

Nielsen Children Christmas Photographer Orangevale California

Sooooo behind on photos, but trying desperately to catch up. 

Without further ado, Christmas photos!

Don't you worry though, hopefully I will be all caught up so soon you can see Easter ones in the same week :)

 These adorable little girls I get the privilege of photographing almost as much as my own. 

 We know each other so well that this is the conversation that went on between her and her mother several weeks ago:

Mom: Today is picture day at preschool are you excited?

Bridgette (in her super cute excited voice): Megan is going to be at my school!?

Loveland Family Maternity Photographer Newcastle California

For those who don't know, my maiden name is Loveland! You guessed it! I got the privilege of photographing my cousin's wife!

Photographing pregnant women is so interesting, because you get to capture their light that they exude from the happiness of being pregnant.

 They were expecting twins, and have since been blessed with a beautiful girl Lyla and handsome boy Lincoln.

 It is always so much fun to photograph those close to you, because you can really capture who they are. We even shot the photos in his parents backyard with such an awesome view overlooking Newcastle.

 They both are amazing parents and I am so excited for both of them!

Robinson Family Photographer Auburn California

Nestled in downtown Auburn is the Bernhard Museum, a place I often pass driving, but have never had the time or reason to actually stop there. Luckily, photographing this beautiful family gave me the needed reason.

 They were even able to get their two cousins out for a total grandkid shot for grandma!

 And here is there family altogether! They are seriously beautiful! Thanks Robinson Family!
