Chico Lifestyle Newborn Baby Boy Photos on Film - Carter John
Carter John is here and he’s such a cutie! Our whole family has been waiting for his arrival. After taking newborn photos in my garden studio, he had a welcoming committee in our house next to the studio. My oldest Kaizen even took a turn holding him and it was so cute!
Natural Light Newborn Photography Session in Chico - Jannings Family
Welcome to the world little Nicky, we are so glad you are here!
My husband and I were Zach and Mary’s wedding photographers and we’ve run into each other from time to around town. I did a motherhood photography session with Mary and Arthur a few years ago which was the last time we had seen each other . Fast forward almost a year later, at a local Chico event right after I had Oliver and Mary shared with me they were expecting their second baby. I was thrilled for them and excited to capture another important milestone once again!
Outdoor Mothers Day Mini Photo Session Chico California - Little Brandt
This past weekend, I photographed a handful of Motherhood photography session here in Chico. This was one of the session I’ve done in the past few weeks. I plan on offering these motherhood session in the future because they were so fun. Beyond the joy I felt, I truly feel these sessions are so important to have captured. As momma’s we are often the ones behind the camera capturing the moments of our children. We often forget to get in front of the camera and be IN the photos with our kiddos.
Spring Almond Blossom Family Photos - Chico California - Kerns Family
The Almond Blossoms in Northern California are breathtaking and such a popular time of year to have family photos taken. Kate contacted me a few weeks before the blossoms were completely gone and we caught the very end of the season. Even though the trees were much more sparse than the beginning of the season, the lush green grass and beautiful colors make for an amazing session.
Best Mother's Day Gift Idea - Chico Family Photographer
I totally get it mamma, we seem to always be the ones behind the camera, capturing our little ones as they are always growing.
We often forget to get in front of the camera, get pretty, celebrate motherhood and how powerful we are.
I wanted to create an experience that was different, I want you to not only have an experience with you and your littles but I wanted to take it a step further. I want you to have tangible images.
Pacifica California Overcast Beach Motherhood Film Session - Brooks Family
Since having my son Kaizen, I have fallen in love with motherhood sessions. Don’t get me wrong, family lifestyle sessions are such a joy too but I specially love capturing the connection between a momma and her kiddos. I believe us mommas are warriors and the beauty each of us have inside and outside is so worth celebrating. We can all learn from each others strengths and champion each other even if we choose to parent our kids differently.
Chico Lifestyle Farmhouse Family Photo Session
My approach to photography is to always make my families feel comfortable and at ease. I want to capture the raw and tender moments a family has for one another. This might look like a cuddle on the couch together or silly faces between a baby and their parents. Whatever that is, I want my images to bring my families back to those precious moments to the feelings in the photo.
Baby Boy Newborn Photos Chico - Rauch Family
Those first few weeks of the newborn stage can feel like forever while going by so fast. Between the late night feeds, schedule changes and adjusting to getting to know your baby outside the womb, there is beauty to be seen everywhere if you’re looking for it. My heart in these lifestyle newborn sessions is to capture those sweet moments that parents experience with their brand new baby. I love that images can evoke emotions of love and connection. And that when the baby is older, they’ll see these images as a family heirloom their parents invested in.
California Park Maternity Family Photos - Rivero Family
I’m so excited to share with you the Rivero maternity photography session we did in Chico. Krista and Claudio are amazing people and we loved getting to know them more during our evening together.

We’re so excited to share with you the Miller Family photo session. We’ve known Amanda for the last few years and she has quickly become a dear friend. Our wedding clients get the privilege of getting to know her as our amazing second shooter and talented photographer behind Amanda Miller Photography. She has been such a gift and blessing to our business and the clients we serve. Through the years of working alongside each other, we’ve gotten to know her family as well. Mitch is such a great dad and Penny and Abby are full of spunk and kindness.
Chico Family Photographer - Hearon Family
The Hearon family of six was such a treat for us to photograph! All the kid’s individual personalities are adorable and Amy and Tim are truly such wonderful parents raising their kids here in Chico. Amy did awesome with planning their family outfits and I love the light and neutral colors she chose for the whole family.
Bidwell Park Chico CA Maternity Photo Session - Baby Williams
This is such a special session for the TréCreative family! We first met David and Lyndsey before they were even engaged. Lyndsey wanted to surprise her parents with Christmas photos of her and her sisters. Shortly after the photos were taken, David and Lyndsey were engaged in Sacramento. From there, we were asked to photograph their engagement and wedding. Over the years, we’ve gotten to know these two and have become much more than clients but some of our biggest supporters and friends. We photographed Lyndsey’s sister’s wedding and countless friends in the Sacramento area. It is such an honor that our business has been blessed in so many ways not just by the referrals but even more by friendship we’ve established.
Carmichael Family Photos - Leo Turns One
We remember meeting Leo for the first time. He was the most precious beautiful newborn. Jeremy and Maggie have been huge supporters of our work for years and we are so grateful for them! We first met these two right after they were engaged. We walked with them through that season and had the privilege of being their wedding photographers and videographers. From there, we were honored to capture their maternity, newborn and now Leo’s one year old photos!
Newborn Photography in Chico CA - Baby Rowan
The Harrington family welcomed their second child, a sweet baby girl here in Chico this summer. We spent the morning getting to know them as a new family of four. We love being able to spend time in our newborn family’s homes. We can capture them in the same spaces they’ll be raising their little ones, freezing the in between moments that create a beautiful legacy for them to look back on. It’s truly an honor we don’t take lightly.
