Chico California Family Lifestyle Photographer - Spring Family Photos - Carranza Family

This was my last Chico family photo session before having my second son Oliver. It was extra special for me for a number of reasons. Number one was because this was a family session with two boys that are the same gape that my two sons are. It felt like a glimpse into my new reality and make me so excited to watch the bond grow between my sons just like these two boys.

Second, Ashley had worked in the wedding industry with us and it was such an honor that reached out wanted to capture this sweet season of her family out on their beautiful property near Butte College.

Black and Cream Baby Girl Nursery Newborn Photos - Chico California Family Photographer

Ella Rose is here and she’s perfect! We waited a little bit longer to take her newborn photos because of all the delayed shipping with her beautiful nursery decor. Lindsey had such a beautiful vision for photos and the space for little Ella. The big painting showcased behind Ella’s crib was actually made by her grandmother, its it breathtaking! It reminds me of high end art-piece. The best part is Ella’s grandma was the one who made it with love and it turned out incredible.

I believe in having both digital backups and physical prints of your images. After having Kaizen, I’ve tried my best to create systems that allow me to have multiple backups of images both in printed and digital form.

That is why I’m working hard to create lots of resources for you on this particular topic!

Snoo Smart Sleeper Review, And How To Get One For a Fraction of the Price

Buying the SNOO for baby Kaizen was one of the best baby investments to date!

Today let’s see if it could be the best investments for your family too.
