Winter Tree Farm Chico California Maternity Photos - Evan&Amy

This is probably one of my favorite Chico maternity sessions I photographed in 2022. Amy, this beautiful mama below has been working for our family for the last two years. Her main role for our Rainmaker business and our family is taking care of our boys. She’s been an incredible nanny, office assistant, and someone to lean on in so many ways over the last two years. Our family is better because of her commitment and love she has shown to us!

Ella Rose is here and she’s perfect! We waited a little bit longer to take her newborn photos because of all the delayed shipping with her beautiful nursery decor. Lindsey had such a beautiful vision for photos and the space for little Ella. The big painting showcased behind Ella’s crib was actually made by her grandmother, its it breathtaking! It reminds me of high end art-piece. The best part is Ella’s grandma was the one who made it with love and it turned out incredible.

Motherhood California Film Session - Kane's Baby Photos

Meet baby Kane and his big brother Kyson! We first met Laura and her husband several years ago when they were engaged. We met them in a beautiful orchard for engagement photos which ended up being some of our favorite Almond Blossom sessions ever. Fast forward several years later, Laura was in town with both her boys visiting friends and family. She reached out for a motherhood session and wanted to capture Kane before he was completely out of the newborn faze. Mike her husband was already back to work but I loved capturing Laura with her two little boys!

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.

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.
