Light and Neutral Lifestyle Newborn Photos Chico - Moore Family
Gosh I love this family so much! Sweet Sadie Kate is beautiful and I loved getting to meet her for the first time. Mason and Holly are past clients of ours. You can ask any photographer and I promise you they will answer the same way. Anytime you have a past client reach out wanting to invest in your services, theres a deep feeling of honor and joy. I especially feel that way when I watch many of our past wedding couples step into parenthood and invite me to document the journey. It’s so so special for me.ast wedding couples step into parenthood and invite me to document the journey. It’s so so special for me.
Tan and Green Northern California Maternity Photos
Another beautiful Chico maternity photo session is on the blog! Love these two people so much! I first met Tommy and Sarah when they were planning their destination Northern California wedding. Sarah contacted me for maternity photos and I once again got to capture another important milestone for these two!
In Home Lifestyle Family Newborn Photos in Chico - Little Family
Baby Rhys is adorable and his big brother Nate was so excited to show me around as soon as I arrived at the Little home here in Chico.
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!
Del Valle Regional Park Livermore Maternity Film Photographer - Clarke Family
Jenni does such an incredible job of having every important moment captured. She’s the one out of her friends and family who makes sure to document important trips and hang outs together. As a photographer I always appreciate when both strangers in passing and my clients understand the importance of having photos taken. They understand that it’s not just about posting random images on social media, but rather that the images serve as a family heirloom that symbolize so much in regards to legacy and love. My favorite thing to look at in the evenings after Kaizen goes to bed is all the past images we’ve taken together as a family. They remind me the different stages of life we’ve been in together. These are memories I never want to forgot. Images help remind us parents of this so well.
Motherhood Mini Session in Northern California
Reta and her two beautiful kiddos got in front of my camera for one of my Motherhood Mini Sessions a few weeks ago here in Northern California.
I love the connection and candid moments of brother and sister interacting and mom with each kid.
Light and Neutral Baby Boy Nursery - Chico Newborn Photographer
This Chico in home lifestyle newborn session is one of my favorites to date. Patrick and Annie’s home is beautiful and has a light and airy feel right when you walk in. The last time I had seen these two was at their Upper Bidwell Park maternity session and I had been looking forward to seeing them again this time with their baby in their arms.
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 Baby Girl Maternity Photo Session in Chico - Mason&Holly
I am so excited for Mason and Holly and honored to have them in front of my camera for their maternity photos. My husband Stephen and I were their wedding photographers and videographers several years ago and it’s been wonderful to connect with them over the years since their Patrick Ranch wedding. This won’t be the last time you see these two on the blog either. They booked my maternity and newborn family experience which I’m so excited for. The next time I see these two in person, they will have a beautiful baby girl in their arms!
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.
Lifestyle Newborn Photos in Chico California - Baby Kaizen
Meet baby Kaizen! He’s the sweetest, most beautiful baby boy. Marsil and his wife Kinana are a part of our Rainmakers Academy and the email they sent my way inquiring about newborn photography brought me to tears.
Marsil explained that Rainmakers has been such an incredible opportunity for his family. He was so inspired by our story and what we believe in at Rainmakers that they named their son after our own Kaizen. I was completely speechless and so honored!
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.
Northern California Winter Outdoor Maternity Session - Comer Family
It is always such a pleasure meeting people for a maternity session and then months or weeks later seeing them with a beautiful baby in their arms. We hiked all throughout Bidwell Park and had the most amazing sunny weather for their 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.
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.
Motherhood Neutral Farmhouse Photography Session Chico
I wanted to capture a motherhood session and so my beautiful friend Mayela and her sweet baby boy agreed to be in front of my camera. As momma’s were often the ones behind the camera creating the moments on camera. I wanted to capture the connection and deep love us moms have for our babies.

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!
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.
