A Pre-birthday Birthday Session

Lexi is about to turn one year old in a week or so. Can you think of a better way to kick off the celebration than with a photo shoot complete with a cake that gets destroyed? I think Lexi had a great time too.

Enjoy this little teaser set.

It’s the perfect time of year for outdoor family portraits

May is such a great time of year for outdoor family portraits in Folsom. Things are just starting to dry out giving that quintessential “California” look. There are so many great spots in Folsom to get great family portraits, whether it’s a natural setting like the gallery below or something in a manicured park, May is the perfect time of year. Here’s a teaser with some images from tonight’s shoot with the LaFramboise family.

 

 

During May and June, all our family sessions are $75 off. That means there’s no sitting fee for mid-week sessons and weekends are only $75. Available time slots are filling up, so if you want to book a time for your family, call us at 916.984.7063 or email us using the Contact button above.

Congratulations, Zach and Cherilyn!

So the Bride-to-Be says to me, “I want to have photos of the bridal party on the footbridge – rain or shine.” You guessed it…it rained.

Most brides schedule June weddings to all but ensure great California weather. Not Cherilyn. She bought umbrellas that matched her wedding colors and ended up hosting one of the most fun photo shoots I’ve done to date. Yeah, it rained pretty hard, but the wind and cold was no match for this fun-loving group’s warmth of laughter, friendship and a love between two great people.

Here’s some of my favorite shots from the evening.

Tahoe Vacation – 2010

Categories:Around Town

Each year, my family rents a small cabin on the east shore of Lake Tahoe for a week’s getaway. The lake surface is at 6,200 feet elevation and is 1,600 feet at the deepest point. Lake Tahoe is a stunning sapphire blue, but around the shore is a clear, bright green likeĀ  you’d see in the Florida Keys. The difference is, the water is very cold. Tahoe is 22 miles long and 12 miles wide.

While I was there this year, I received an email inquiry from a potential client asking me if I had any black and white images of Lake Tahoe they could use for fine art in their office. Here’s a few I made this time. Maybe they’ll like them.

Perfect Evening Light

I love being a photographer in California! Between April and October, we have the perfect weather for outdoor family portraits. Sure, there’s a few days of rain here and there and a few hot evenings in the summer, but you can’t beat that perfect evening light so many days each year. Here’s a few photos of the Rader Family. We had such a great time and took a ton of photos.
