Chico Motherhood Daughter Photographer Session in Northern California

Gosh, this session brings our businesses and the last few years so full circle! Lainie came into our lives right before I became a mama. She started working in our home and helping out with at the time our wedding photography business. Shortly after working for us, our Rainmaker business where we teach moms how they can have financial and time freedom grew and we needed more help. This was right after we had our first son Kaizen. Lainie stepped in and helped with so much. From being Kaizen’s amazing nanny, to my assistant and beyond. She truly became family!

Chico Newborn Baby Photographer - Baby Sohnrey

I’m so excited for this family! When Nicole first reached out to me about newborn photos she expressed she wanted the photos to be soft, simple and light! Nothing harsh or dark. I totally knew what she meant and was excited for the opportunity to work with her and Alex once their baby arrived.

One of the main reasons I love shooting newborn photos on film is because of the natural and soft tones is creates. My newborn studio creates the perfect space for families to come, spend time together in an environment perfect for photos. I always aim for my photos to look natural and candid and I love the way these turned out!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
