This little guy! Let me tell you. WHAT a CUTIE! The Clarks and I had a great time exploring the rock garden, chasing squirrels and observing geese (from a safe distance, mind!). Little man brought all the attitude, and we got some fantastic shots together!

I always love getting repeat clients! It's a joy to see how families have grown, and to be able to stage some of my shots with the knowledge of what we did (or didn't do!) last time. It makes for great then-and-now comparisons!

They Rayford family and I had an extra long photo shoot at the Sacramento Capitol park in the fall and it was a blast. They were SO full of life! Tons of smiles and laughter--the shots came out great, and the lighting was absolutely PERFECT.

I'm very excited about how this shoot turned out! I met this lovely family for a 30 minute session at William Land Park's WPA Rock Garden in early November. The light and autumn colors were perfect, and mom planned ahead, preparing a quick outfit change for the second half. Fabulous!

This pupper really pulled out the stops for her parents' big shoot! Holiday card, engagement photo, family photo all-in-one. We got big smiles! Looking straight at the camera! Adorable shenanigans! The shoot turned out fantastic overall--great location, great lighting, great subjects.

I confess this was a tough shoot--but I'm proud of the result! Even under the best of circumstances photographing pets is a challenge. Doubly when there are three; triply when there are other dogs walking past while you try and hold their attention! But these pups powered through the temptation of squirrels and the distraction of potential playmates to give us not one, but TWO group photos where everyone is looking at the camera! All in under 30 minutes.

It was a cool, overcast day--even got a few sprinkles! But that didn't keep us down! The Capitol park was lovely and the smiles bright. What a great family to capture!
