Backyard Photography Studio Chico - Eloise Turns One
I am so excited to share with you some of the first every studio mini sessions. Over the last several months, we built my very own natural light beautiful studio in our backyard. This was a dream come true for me. I can’t wait to host many more families in this special place.
Fall Family Newborn Session Chico - Carey Family
Congratulations to the Carey family on the birth of their second daughter Eileen.
I spent the morning here in Chico with this new family of four as they have embraced the new change so gracefully. Charlie is the oldest and so happy to show off her baby sis to anyone before she headed to preschool that morning. Eileen is sweet and slept for nearly the full session.
Spring Upper Bidwell Park Family Photos - Wadlow Family
This family is near and dear to our hearts! We love Mike and Amy and look up to them in so many aspects of our life. Kaizen adores their son Kaenan and has been the recipient of many hand me down clothes and toys that have become some of his favorites!
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.
Ranch Family Newborn Lifestyle Session in Northern California - Andreini Family
I love this family so much. They are near and dear to our hearts for so many reasons. Nicole and Adam were one of our TréCreative wedding couples. They had a beautiful wedding in the Spring out at Nicole’s family cattle ranch several years ago. Since then, I have had the privilege of photographing them over the years as their family has grown. In between their three babies, we’ve seen them go through career transitions and blossom together as a family.
Chico State Fall Family Photos - Owen Family
Referrals are one of my favorite sources to connect with new clients. It’s always such an honor when a past family refers one of their friends to my photography business.
Chico Maternity Photographer - Bentley Family
I met Kasey and Kayla in Upper Bidwell Park here in Chico for their maternity photo session. We started the photos session in one of my favorite locations in the park and then ended in a new spot I found along the creek. We had the whole place to ourselves!
Kaizen Shine Diaz 12.24.19 - Birth Story
Before I go into the full blown story of our how our son Kaizen was born, I feel like it’s important to back, back back it up…
California Lifestyle Maternity Photography - Garrison Family
One of the many aspects that I love about being in the wedding industry is the people we are constantly meeting. We first met Christine when her and her husband moved from Southern California up to Northern California.
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.
Chico Baby Photography - Baby Clara
Congratulations to David and Lyndsey on sweet baby Clara. She is precious and such a beautiful baby. What a joy to photograph these two over the years and see their love and lives grow. Parenthood soots them so well.
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!
Chico Family Lifestyle Photographer - Jarvis Home Family Photos
For family lifestyle sessions, our goal is focus on connection and creating moments that are natural for the families we get to work with. We still will capture a few more traditional smiling “looking at the camera” photos, but that’s not the focus of these sessions. The focus is helping the family forget about the camera and letting candid moments come out. Our homes can be such intimate spaces and it was an honor to be invited into the Jarvis household.
EL DORADO HILLS NEWBORN LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER - BABY MASON
David and Meghan were one of our TréCreative couples several years ago and it was great to see them and catch up. When we announced we were offering lifestyle newborn photos, Meghan was one of the first people to reach out to us. She expressed that her and David were re-doing their room just for family lifestyle photos when Mason arrived. The room was perfect and we're so happy we could make this sweet family's vision come to life.
Cozy Home Newborn Photography Chico Ca - BABY ATALIE
Kyle and Marek have a beautiful home here in Chico filled with personal touches everywhere you look. I love how they have photos throughout every season of their lives displayed on the walls like a walk down memory lane. I can just imagine as their kids grow, looking at those images as a reminder of the bond their family shares. Family heirlooms in the form of photos are everywhere you look. This is such a powerful representation of the legacy of love we fully believe in when we're working with these sweet families.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NEWBORN LIFESTYLE PHOTOS - BABY ABIGAIL
We're honored that Brian and Kaela thought of us for their newborn photos. Our heart's desire is to empower marriages through our photography and after being in the wedding industry for six years, we quickly learned that the legacy we want our images to stand for doesn't just start and end on a wedding day. That's really just the beginning and families and newborns are a part of the amazing legacy that our couples love to capture through photography

We are so excited to share with you this in-home lifestyle photography session shot entirely on our medium format film camera.
