What a joy it was to photograph the sweet Yrigollen family for the third year in a row! This year's session was extra special as I got to meet their newest addition, adorable baby Waylon! We returned to beautiful Lema Ranch in Redding, California, where the dreamy golden hour glow shining through the olive trees made for the perfect backdrop. I just love watching this family grow and capturing these precious memories year after year! 🤍

It was so wonderful getting to see the sweet Rosales family again for their family session at Verbena Fields in Chico! It's been a whole year since I last photographed Kat, Miguel, and little Lucas, and I couldn't believe how much Lucas has grown! He's walking now and is just the cutest little guy! We had the best time soaking up the dreamy golden light filtering through the trees, capturing sweet snuggles, giggles, and all the little moments that make this season so special. I just love getting to watch families grow year after year! 🤍

Some families become so much more than clients, and Clay and Ashley are one of those families for me. From their engagement session and wedding day to maternity photos and now family portraits with their newest little addition, Alora, it has been such a gift to document their journey. We returned to the beautiful 29 Rows Lavender Farm in Happy Valley, where golden summer light, blooming lavender, and years of memories came together for a truly special evening.

This winter maternity session at Bidwell Park in Chico, California was especially meaningful as I photographed Tricia and Michael’s growing family once again. From their first maternity session to family photos to now their second maternity session - it’s such an honor to be a Chico maternity and family photographer who walks with families through every season. Even in the quiet beauty of winter, Bidwell Park gave us the most dreamy light as we documented this next chapter of their story.

The Runnings Family brought all the joy to their fall session at the McConnell Foundation! With brilliant red trees, golden sunset glow, and plenty of leaf-throwing fun, this parking-lot session turned into a stunning set of portraits.

The Flesher Family brought so much warmth and joy to their midday session at Lema Ranch in Redding, California. We explored the olive tree pathway, laughed by the dock, and ended beneath a gorgeous willow tree. With Katrina’s birthday just around the corner, her wish for photos with her kids and grandkids made this session extra meaningful.

It was such a joy to see the Worden family again for their fall session at Anderson River Park! The light through the trees was absolutely magical, and their fall outfits were perfect for the season. This session was extra special — Brooke’s extended family joined in to celebrate her grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary. They even brought a framed photo from their wedding day, making for the sweetest, most meaningful portraits.

This sweet family session in Chester, California was pure autumn perfection! 🍁 The golden leaves, cozy mountain backdrop, and warm sunset light made for the dreamiest fall setting. I first photographed Tricia and Michael when Tricia was expecting Ryan, so it was such a joy to see them again—this time as a family of three! Ryan absolutely adores her daddy, and their sweet bond made every photo extra special.

This cheerful fall family session at the McConnell Foundation in Redding, California was filled with golden leaves, cozy colors, and the sweetest smiles.
