Introducing Baby Boy, Oliver! Reno. NV Portriat Photography

I got to photograph the cutest little man last weekend. Parents, KaReena & Thomas, were so excited to have me at their home to do these photos and we couldn't have asked for a more cooperative baby. They had so many ideas and props for me to work with, but one of the coolest ideas was to create an ocean-like scene and have Oliver in the "water". Since his parents were married in Hawaii, the ocean is very special to them. Oliver was so cute, he really kept me busy. Wide awake for the first half of the session, I was able to photograph those beautiful blue eyes of his. Those eyes, along with his fun book titled "Go The F**k To Sleep," made for some super cute photos. It didn't take long before the little man was drifting off to sleep. This was the perfect time to get some shots of Oliver with his Mom & Dad's wedding bands...but mostly some adorable sleeping poses. I just love how this set of images turned out. Congratulations to KaReena & Thomas on their adorable bundle of joy and thanks again for having me take these photographs.

Megan, Justin & Jaelyn Family Portraits - Bridgeport Bridge, Nevada County CA.

It is hard to believe a year has gone by since the last time I photographed this amazing family. For that photo shoot, we chose the Honey Run Covered Bridge in Chico, CA. Due to my recent move, we decided to meet somewhere between Chico and Reno. The location I came up with was the Bridgeport Covered Bridge. What a perfect location for a photo session! The visitors center has a great loop with all sorts of fun backdrops to work with. We also had something special planned for Jaelyn's 2nd birthday photos: bubbles! I always enjoy the time I get to spend with this family. Here are my favorites from the session and thanks again to the family for meeting me half way!

Eddie & Paola - Romantic Engagement Session

Every time I pick up my camera and get to photograph a couple, I am reminded what True Love is. Eddie and Paola absolutely radiate true love and friendship and I am so lucky to get to photograph them during this amazing time in their lives.

Both Eddie and Paola have very busy lives. So, what I loved most about this engagement photo session was spending the afternoon with them at a pace slower than their every day go-go-go lives. We Started our engagement session at 5-Mile in Bidwell Park but quickly loaded up into my car and made the drive to the New Clairvaux Vineyard. A beautiful winery and abbey, it is located in the small town of Vina, just outside of Chico, CA, and I just LOVE photographing here. Plus, I was excited because Eddie and Paola had never been to the winery so I got to share this beautiful gem with them. Here are some of my favorite images from this romantic engagement session:
