Sylvia & Johnny || engagment slideshow

This was one of my favorite engagement shoots. I love how the images turned out. Enjoy the show!

Fun with the Macadams || Family session

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to shoot the MacAdams' holiday portraits. It was a super chilly day, but that didn't stop us from having fun! Jason and I headed out to a near by park to hang out and shoot with Ty, Kendall, Tiana and Kaiden.

A few images from their session -

Sylvia + Johnny || Engagement

Saturday was an exciting day for me. I photographed the Horton family in the morning and then in the afternoon I met up with Sylvia and Johnny for their e-session in Old Sacramento. This lovely couple is from the Bay Area and I was so excited that they were in Sac for their engagement shoot. It's been really cold in Sacramento for the past few days; Saturday, especially, was very chilly and gloomy in Roseville. The sky cleared off a bit by the time we got to Sacramento.

Old Sac is one of my favorite places to shoot. I love the rustic look of the places which give the images a differnt vibe. We also found an old record store where we ended up shooting. Johnny is a DJ and obviously plays with music a lot, so it was just the place for them to shoot at.

It was wonderful working with Sylvia and Johnny. Sylvia will make such a beautiful bride! S & J - I hope you two enjoy the teasers.

Tatum

I finally met Tatum during the Thanksgiving holiday. Her mom Candace and I have been friends from my first day at college(literally). For the last one year I only saw in pictures how beautiful Tatum was! I was thrilled to finally see her in person. I was eagerly waiting for their arrival and when they got here, Tatum greeted me with her beautiful smile. She was a bundle of joy; I missed her so dearly after they left on Saturday.

I have spent several Thaksgivings and Christmases with Candace and her family. I was ecstatic that Candace, Charles and Tatum were with us this year. The Turkey was delicious for sure, but the company was a precious one. I was thankful for the friendship we shared all these years and I hope to preserve this for many more years to come...

oh baby!

So many things have happened during the Thanksgiving break! I have been away from computer most of the time, spending time with my family and friends. I had my college friends visiting us from Portland last week for Thanksgiving(we had a blast, wait for the next post), then I spent an evening with the newborn baby Ethan. Ethan was born to Sheila and Ronak two weeks ago. Here are some teasers from his photo session last night.

He was not camera-shy at all to begin with! In fact he was following me as he was posing :)


He almost had a smile!


And then he was done! Baby Ethan was ready to go back to his mommy :)



I kinda felt bad that we had to take his warm blanket away and put him on the couch while he was quiely minding his own business, but I had to take some pictures :) We had fun spending time with the kabir family last night. I wish Sheila and Ronak the very best for their new baby. I bet little Ethan is going to grow so fast that he'll be going to college before we even know!

Janine & Kevin || Second shoot

Janine and Kevin tied the knot last month at the beautiful Forest House in Forest Hill. It was my pleasure to second shoot with Doug Miranda at their wedding. I know I have taken too long to publish these images, I was just swamped with too many things.

More detail on the wedding coming soon, in the meantime, please enjoy the images...

Style me pretty


Today I visited this awesome site about DIY projects for weddings or events. I am so excited to have found it and post the link to the site for all the future brides out there. I often meet brides who look for ideas and inspirations for their wedding decore; I had always wished I could give them a list of places they could visit and get all that they need.

If you are looking for inspirations, ideas, how-to guides, this is the site you need to visit. Style Me Pretty is full of everything you are looking for your wedding; flowers, colors, cakes, invitations, you name it, you'll find it. I wish this existed when I was getting married!

Here it is -

Cool Hand Luke's

Couple weekends ago I attended the VIP party at the newest steakhouse/saloon in town, Cool Hand Luke's. My clients Nezar and Laurel are the owners of the restaurant. Jason and I went and tried out the awesome food the restaurant has to offer. The fried artichoke hearts were awesome. I also tried the grilled apples (accompanied by the juicy sirloin steak) for the first time in my life. Everything we tried was yummy! We loved the Bread Pudding! Jason said it remnded him of the bread pudding he used to have as a kid!

I also had the opportunity to meet Laurel and Nezar's extended family one more time after the wedding. I'm glad Jason was with me this time and he had a chance to meet them all as well. I was sooo positively overwhelmed with the compliments I received for their wedding pictures. Everyone that was at the wedding and noticed me at the party came by and said how much they enjoyed viewing the images. I felt lucky again to have met these wonderfully nice people. I was just happy to be able to capture the sweetest memories for them.

Back to the restaurant business, if you live in Sac or in nearby towns or you are in the greater Sacramento area, be sure to check out Cool Hand Luke's. It is located on Sunrise in Citrus Heights. I know I'm going back soon and ordering the grilled apples and the bread pudding for sure :)

Bains Family

This was another super busy weekend for me. A family session and a wedding kept me occupied through the weekend. Saturday morning I headed out to shoot with the Bains family. It was a beeeuuttiful day! Not too hot, not too cold... just perfect.

I met Gagan, Gurinder, Jaap and little Kaashni at the Gibson Ranch and Park(Antelope) for the first time. Little Kaashni is the newest edition to the family and it was her first official photo shoot. She fell asleep as soon as we started shooting. But she was totally camera ready when she woke up from her beauty nap :) Jaap, the older sister, was so adorable! She was trying really hard to make her little sister smile for the pictures. Her efforts paid off, she was able to make Kaashni smile :))

I realized one more time, how much I love to shoot with the families. The opportunity to capture the family moments is something I enjoy thoroughly. Here are a few teasers for the Bains family. Hope you enjoy!
