Sweet Baptism | Woodland California Family and Event Photography

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Here is a sweet family I was able to meet and take pictures of during this holiday season. Their little guy was being baptized and so we decided to get some family photos before hand and then I was able to stay and document the baptism. I've never photographed this kind of event and I thought it was such a great idea to have a photographer there! The mom and dad were able to go around and socialize and not have to worry about taking pictures or getting copies from relatives later and there was someone there to take group photos at the end too. It was fun and I wouldn't mind doing something like this again...hint hint...haha. They chose a darling little Church outside of Woodland....pretty much in the middle of nowhere :) but is was really cute and her dad was there to do the ceremony, so that made it a really special event!

Will & Renee | Oakland California LDS Temple Wedding

FINALLY the busy, busy family photo season is coming to a close! As our family has grown in size since I started taking photos as a job (from one child to three) it has become so much harder to balance everything and even more so during the holidays! It's been crazy and yet so much fun! I am glad to be able to relax a little before Christmas and finally catch up on my blog!

Hopefully there will be a new site up and running by the new year. I'll give more info on that as it comes but for now here is an AWESOME couple! Renee had asked me to take their photos in Oakland and I really wanted to but I had just had a baby and wasn't sure if I could do all the traveling so she asked again and I felt so loved that I just couldn't say no :) And I am so glad I was able to go out there and hang out with her and her husband (to-be...we did these before the ceremony!) Them, along with their entourage ;) were so much fun! I need to hire people like that for all my brides. Fixing hair, laying out the dress, it was pretty nice.

Her mom made her beautiful dress! My favorite was her bouquet ...which I didn't get a good shot of...they forgot the flowers in Sacramento so they ran to the store and bought a bouquet of flowers and wrapped the stems with curling ribbon...it was awesome :)

Mike & Julie | Sacramento Engagement Photography

Here is my dear friend from childhood! I am pretty sure we are going on 25 years of friendship! To take their engagement photos was such an honor and pleasure! We had a great time and I think they are just perfect for one another! Thanks Julie and Mike! can't wait for your wedding next year!

I think I could end ALMOST every sentence I write with an exclamation point...and I do...pretty much always :) Sorry if it feels like I am shouting at you. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS CLOSER TO SHOUTING THAN AN EXCLAMATION MARK THOUGH, DON'T YOU?
