portraits in sacramento

I headed up to Sacramento last week to photograph these four fun families (say that five times fast). :) It was a power shoot of four sessions within a 24 hour period which might have been a record for me but it was tons of fun. Thanks guys for hiring me to come up! I had a blast meeting and working with you all!

tara & andy

Tara has the kind of smile that can light up a room. I love her laugh. Photographing her with Andy was a blast because they had fun with it. I always feel bad for guys during photo shoots because I can just imagine how silly it sounds to them when I ask them to do such cheesy things and kiss SO MUCH but Andy was quite the sport...but then again why wouldn't he be, look at his beautiful soon to be wife!

brian & irene

This sweet couple contacted me after their small wedding celebration in Santa Barbara. They had an intimate ceremony with about 20 people and had friends take a few pictures on the day of the celebration but hadn't hired a professional photographer for the actual ceremony. So a month later Brian and Irene got all dressed up again to meet with me for a few nice photos to celebrate their new marriage. You can still see the glitter in their smiles...ahh, wedding bliss. I was so honored to capture it for them.
