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.
San Francisco In Home Lifestyle Newborn Photos - Baby Finn
It has been such an honor to photograph the Wallace family over the years. Stephen and I were Jimmy and Renee’s wedding photographers and videographers several years ago. We took their first born Liam’s newborn photos and now they asked me again to document little Finn’s newborn photos. This family is so precious!
Baby Boy Lifestyle Newborn Photos Chico - Bentley Family
Baby Boy Miles is here and I am so thrilled for Casey and Kayla!
In Home Newborn Photographer Chico - Mason Family
I am so excited to share with you the Mason family newborn photos. Baby D is such a cutie and his nursery is adorable. Any momma should take note of how Natalie and Dave decorated! I love the space they created for their sweet boy!
Fall Family Photos in Chico California - Poggetti Family
The Poggetti’s are up first! Dan and Allie were one of our past TréCreative wedding couples and I was so excited to see them as a family!
Love this family so much!
Carmichael Twin Lifestyle Newborn Photos - Scherger Family
I have been looking forward to meeting the Scherger Twins since Cassie first reached out months ago. Michael and Cassie are no strangers to being in front of my camera. We were their wedding photographers and videographers for their destination Napa wedding a few years ago. We’ve seen them at weddings since and again at their maternity session earlier this year. Capturing these important milestones to anyone is special for me, but when I get to see a past bride and groom, my heart bursts with the joy knowing what parenthood will bring them.
4th of July Mendocino Coast Get-Away
Better late than never for this 4th of July Mendocino vacation trip. We booked this trip 10 months in advance knowing that places might book up quickly with the holiday weekend and we got the perfect house off AirBNB.
Summer Newborn Session in Chico - Bryan Family
I love this sweet family and have had the privilege of photographing them for years now! We were there when Cody and Brittany got married as their photographers, when they were pregnant with Calvin, and now! This time I had the honor to photograph some first family moments with their daughter Summer.
Newborn Photographer in Chico California - Rivero Family
Meet baby Danica, she’s adorable and so sweet!
Newborn sessions are always so memorable for families no matter how tiny or big their babies are. Just yesterday I was looking through Kaizen’s newborn photos and loved reminiscing about how tiny he was then.
Chico Baby Photographer - Brenton Family
As a mom, I know first hand how little ones grow up so fast. Photos are a visual representation and keepsake to forever have as a memory even when your little outgrows their newborn clothes. From one mom to another, I promise you, you can never have too many photos of your children!
Summer Chico Maternity Photographer - Merlette Baby Boy
Baby boy Merlette will be here before we know and I’m so excited for Scott and Bonnie to meet him! His arrival is greatly anticipated and I know will forever change these two for the better. It is hard to put into words what happens when a parent experiences holding their baby for the first time. It is a love like no other. From one parent to another, I cannot wait for these two to experience that joy.
Organizing Your Photos - My Favorite Resources for the Modern Momma
Photos should be treasured!
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. I’ve heard from so many other moms that the struggle is real. It’s hard to know what to do with your images especially after getting them back from a professional photographer. I hear you momma! 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.
Since sharing photos of Kaizen online in his SNOO, we’re asked frequently about how we like the SNOO and if it was worth the higher price tag.
So far it has been worth every penny and so much more…and it actually doesn’t cost as much as you’d think! Stick around until the end and I’ll explain what I mean.
Gender Neutral Baby Nursery - Northern California Newborn Photographer
When looking for ways to decorate Kaizen’s nursery I loved looking at bloggers and friend’s nursery inspirations. I enjoyed looking at what others suggested to get ideas for our own ascetic.
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.
Newborn Photographer in Chico CA - Baby Drake
What an amazing journey it has been working with Kasey and Kinsey throughout their whole pregnancy and birth experience. We met these two a few months ago for their Bidwell Park maternity session. From there we also had the privilege of photographing baby Drake with 48 hours after he was born at Enloe Hospital. And then, the icing on the cake was meeting these three at their beautiful Chico home for newborn photos.
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.
Lifestyle Photography session in Chico CA - Miller Family
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.
