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.

Guess who was having a half birthday? This little guy! He and I became fast friends, let me tell you. He gave me ALL of his best smiles. It's always a delight to photograph an enthusiastic and joyful toddler. Thanks for a great shoot, little pal!

This was my second time photographing the Morrows--the first was for maternity photos at the same location. It was a real delight to get to meet their little one! WHAT an adorable smile!

What a lovely couple! So full of joy, they were a delight to capture. Another 30 minute session at one of my favorite venues--the UCD Arboretum.

30 minutes at the UC Davis Arbotreum with this adorable and charming family--what a time! Some posed portraits, some candids, and some fun learning about Oaks!

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!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple at the Arboretum in June. Though temperatures were high this mom-to-be was a real trooper through it all. It was a delight to share in (and capture) their joy!
