Rocklin Maternity Photographs: Sandra

A couple months ago I met with Sandra, Brandon and Kaitlin at their house for Sandra’s maternity pictures. Sandra was on her seventh month, but she knew that her baby was going to arrive weeks before the original due date. The Lynch family was prepared for the arrival for Baby Autumn Faith. The love in the family was undescribable. Brandon is a firefighter for the City of Sacramento. On his day off, he loves spending time with his daighter Kaitlin. I could see how excited he was for the new baby.

Kaitlin, the super cutre big sister, was a darling. She was showing me her toys and her princess bed. Sandra was glowing that day, she looked beautiful in the pictures. I was so happy to capture the time as the Lynch family waited for the newest addition to the family.

Meadow Vista photographer || Jackie & Drew

Oh sweet summer! It’s the time of the year to hold outdoor parties! Recently I had a chance to shoot a baby/wedding combo celebration party hosted by a very special man, Bob Whitson. It was s party for Bob’s son Drew and beautiful Jackie. Bob is pretty much the root of the reason I’m here in California. Let me just say that he co-founded a high-tech start-up in Roseville and I happened to get a job there, which resulted in me moving to Nor Cal, and that made Jason to leave his job in KS, move here as well with a job in the same company, then we got marrried on the same day when Bob celebrates his wedding anniversary. See the connection here? It’s that simple.

Michelle’s Maternity || Sacramento Roseville Maternity photography

Talk about a mom-to-be who glows on her 35 week pregnancy!!! Ummmm….that would be Michelle. Look at her pictures, isn’t she gorgeous? The baby bump suits her really well I love the spirit she has, even on her difficult days she didn’t forget to put up a smile on her face and invite us in. I’m glad that I have the honor to have Trevor and Michelle as my friend and neighbor. Seriously, I don’t think that my neighborhood experience could get any better.

Allyson || Maternity

Sunday was the super bowl day. But I’m not much into watching games, I had waaaayyyyy more fun shooting Allyson’s maternity session at her parents’ house in south Sacramento. Previously I was a bit worried about the possibility of rain and cold weather that weekend. But it turned out that we literally picked the best day for her shoot. It was bright and sunny and the temperature was at the 60′s here in Sac. It couldn’t be any better in February.

Apple picking at Applehills

Apple Hills, CA(30-mins from Sacramento, 1-hr from my house) is well known for the apple orchards and beautiful vineyards. You can go there during the apple season and pick your own apple. Jason and I go there every year, but we return home with a big, delicious dutch apple pie. We never get to pick apples ’cause the season is over by the time we get there. This year we tagged along with a few other friends who were as enthusiastic about apple picking at the Apple Hills.

We ended up going to an orchard which was also a vineyard. The owner said “Grapes are free if you can find any.” So we walked through the grape vines in search for grapes; we ended up finding a lot!

My friend Sheila also joined us. She is expecting her baby in November. She is gorgeous and glowing at her seven-month pregnancy! I am very excited for her to start the new family soon with her new baby boy!

It was an extremely hot day! You’d think that the weather would be cool enough there since summer had officially ended a few days back. But it was upper 90′s at the Apple Hills. Despite the heat we had a lot of fun! It was a success this time; we managed to make it there during the apple season Not only we returned home with an apple pie, but also with freshly picked apples and grapes from Applehills.
