Mariah and Craig's Wedding

Mariah and Craig were married at the The Old Sugar Mill

(Carvalho Family Winery) in Clarksburg, CA.

In 2000, a portion of the old mill was beautifully restored

into crush facility for local vineyards around the Delta region.

It also holds daily tastings for numerous wineries

and serves as an awesome wedding

ceremony and reception venue.

The unrestored portion of the mill

is a photographers dream!

It has remained virtually untouched since

the the mill closed it's doors in 1996.

There are endless textures and

fun finds everywhere you turn!

Every detail of Mariah and Craig's

wedding came together beautifully.

It was a perfect evening with filled with

wonderful people and many memories!

Here is just a quick preview of the event......

Olivia's 18 Month Session - Sacramento Children Photographer

Olivia's awesome mom and I have been trying to schedule

Olivia's 18 month session for a few weeks now.

We just kept getting rained out!

Finally the sun shined for us and it was a beautiful Super Bowl Sunday!

Olivia and her new pillowcase dress were absolutely adorable!

She is such a very sweet girl and just about as cute as they come!

Here is a quick preview of today's session....

New Lens!

My highly anticipated, well probably just by me, lens arrived today!

So we headed out during a break in the rain to take Jake on a fun walk at

River Bend Park (formally Goethe Park) in Rancho Cordova, CA.

I haven't been to this parkway in years but stumbled upon it

while looking for some fun new locations to shoot.

It has tons of bike and horse trail plus river access,

definitely worth checking out if you've never been or it's been years for you too.

He was one happy Beagle with all the new smells and

jack rabbit trails to sniff out!

Jonas 1 Year Portraits

Today I had the pleasure of taking Jonas's one year pictures.

It was a super cold December day in Old Sacramento.

With the help of his cuddlely baby blue blanket and his awesome parents,

Jonas made it through the shoot like a total trooper!

Jonas is absolutely one of the cutest kids ever.

Besides, who could resist those big blue eyes?

Here are just a few of my favorites!

Esther & Danny Engagement

Esther and Danny have been one of the sweetest and

most fun couples I've worked with.

Today's engagement shoot took place at the Effie Yeaw Nature Center

which is located inside Ancil Hoffman Park in Carmichael, CA.

We were all so thankful the weather held for us through sunset!

Congratulations Esther and Danny! I'll see you soon for the big day in May!

Here are a few of my favorite shots.....

Check out how many deer there were in the meadow!!!!

Glavich Family Pictures

It turned out to be a great day for outdoor portraits.

I met the Glavich family today at William Land Park

in Sacramento for a family portrait session.

The Glavich family was awesome and

we got some really great shots too!

Here are a few....
