Sweet chubby baby Ella. | eldorado hills baby photographer

Chunky babies are my FAVORITE. They are just so sweet, and squishy and cuddly. My other favorite is a SLEEPING baby! We got 3 month old chubby lovebug Ella to SLEEP during her photo shoot! She was a rock star and let us bend her and move her. This is something that only babies under 2 weeks old usually let us do! I was in heaven!

And then, she smiled at me in her sleep!

And just like that, her nap was over and she flashed me her blue peepers!

Then I got her blue eyes AND her smile! This is my absolute favorite!

The Bottel Family | roseville family photographer

I had a photo shoot with this family on the most GORGEOUS of days! It was sunny and just warm enough with a light breeze. All the flowers had just bloomed and wild cilantro was growing everywhere and made the air smell so good! It was one of those sessions where I left knowing we had captured some amazing moments. Thank you Bottels for the fun morning!

Who doesn’t love piggy toes or a daddy hug?

Wasn’t their choice of clothes just perfect?

Ari had fun picking some flowers. I think these may be the ones that ended up in her toes!

I loved the light here so much I wanted to kiss it!

Their dog Cheyenne came along and was so well behaved and posed well for my camera :)

We let her fun around and have some fun too!

And then she joined the family! I LOVE the way Janelle’s eyes are closed here like she knows she may get a big kiss!

I snuck Ari away with the promise of a lollipop…

Good thing her mom could come through on that promise :)

Pictures of Daddies and babies are the best, don’t you think?

Surprise, she’s here! | auburn family photographer

My wonderful maternity clients turned into my newborn clients faster than expected! This sweet, sweet couple had their baby girl a few weeks early and welcomed here into such a warm and happy family.

My favorite shots of newborns are usually them in all their naked glory curled up and sleeping, but not this session! I fell in love with these shots of the three of them being in love.

A few baby details.

I am trying to remember some details of Grant as a baby. Like the way his eyelashes are translucent in the sun, or the way his blonde hair swoops on his forehead like Evan’s did when he was a baby.

You know it’s time to take pics of your own children when they say, “Mommy, when is it MY turn!?”

Haha! Evan has been asking me to take HIS picture! That is a rare occurrence. I have been so busy with client sessions and proofing lately that I haven’t been able to take pictures of my own children. So I did what any good mother would do, I combined a trip to frozen yogurt with a couple of quick pictures. Yes, I was THAT mom taking pictures of her kids on a sidewalk at the shopping center! Hey, I was killing 2 birds with 1 stone!
