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.

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!

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.

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.
