Black and Cream Baby Girl Nursery Newborn Photos - Chico California Family Photographer
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!

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

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.

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 am so excited for Mason and Holly and honored to have them in front of my camera for their maternity photos.

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.
