Just in Time {Fresno Portrait & Event Photography}

Last week, I had the honor of photographing another Navy homecoming. This time the arrival was at Fresno Yosemite Int’l Airport. And these pilots had a lot of excitement to come home to – a very pregnant wife and her friend, who has a new baby meeting her Daddy for the first time. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job?! I was honored to be there to capture K’s husband’s homecoming, just in time for the delivery of their first child in a few weeks.

He’s home!

One of the things I love about these events is the affection that I see after the husbands and wives are back in each other’s arms. It’s so sweet to see how they just literally can’t let go of each other after such a long distance apart.

Thank you to the L family for choosing me to photograph this day for you! And best of luck as you welcome your new son into the world very soon!

The C Family {Hanford Lemoore Maternity & Family Portraits}

The C family is just a few weeks away from welcoming baby boy #2. I was thrilled when they asked me to take maternity and family pictures – even more so when they agreed to take my own family pictures in trade (more on that coming soon!). We met at our new house and took photos in the walnut orchards just before sunset. And the best part? It was fun! Family pictures shouldn’t be a miserable afternoon – it’s nice to have a fond memory to go with the images that preserve this moment in your family history.

I loooove the expression on little L’s face in this next one. He’s just stinkin’ adorable and I can’t wait to see him as a big brother.

A has a very cute pregnant bump and I’ve loved watching her grow over the last few months. I also made a quilt for the new baby, which you can check out here on my sewing blog. I hope this baby has lots of wonderful dreams under the quilt I made him!

At four years old, he is equal parts sweet and totally silly. It was fun to watch and photograph the many faces and expressions he was giving me. Luckily there were lots of smiles in there, too!

Nikki {Sonoma County Maternity Portrait Photography}

Nikki is expecting a baby boy any day now and I had so much fun taking her maternity portraits in Windsor last weekend. I think you will agree that she has that “glow” about her.

She and her husband decided to bring their first “babies” along for pictures, too. They did so well, even with a ton of other dogs in the park providing lots of distractions.

Another Sweet Belly : : Sonoma County Maternity Photography


Our good friends are expecting their second child this Spring and I couldn’t be happier to photograph the sweet belly that’s holding my future “nephew.”


This is what 22 years of friendship looks like. I’m so thankful I sat by her on the school bus that day!

Please contact me if you are interested in booking a portrait session.

Any Day Now : : Santa Rosa Maternity Photography

My friend Kelly is anxiously awaiting the arrival of a daughter, due any day now! I was thrilled to get the chance to photograph her amazing belly on a recent visit to Sonoma County. Could she be any more adorable?


This baby has chosen an amazing family to join. Kelly shared with me that this big-brother-to-be keeps talking to the belly and telling his baby sister “it’s time to come out!”



I can’t wait to meet her and photograph her, too! There’s nothing I love more than newborn photography!

Please contact me if you are interested in booking a portrait session.

Personal: 8 Months Pregnant


My husband took this photo for me… I realized that I’ve never made an official announcement to my photo clients – we’re having a second child! I’m due with a baby boy next month and currently enjoying my last few weeks of calm before we enter the world of two children.

I will not be booking any August or September photo sessions, but will likely pick back up in October and November for any holiday photos you’d like to have done. However, as we will be adjusting to life with a newborn, my schedule will likely be very full. If you’d like to get an appointment on the books, please contact me right away.

I’ll share portraits of our new little guy as soon as I can… I am so excited about having a new face to photograph!

Tayna & Anthony: Parents-to-Be

Tanya & Anthony are expecting their first child in September – one day before my own little boy is due. What a fun way to start a maternity session ~ definitely plenty to talk about! And a soon-to-be-adorable family, too!








Congratulations, you two! I can’t wait to hear how everything goes and what name you decide!

Brooke: Maternity

Brooke and Troy are so excited to be expecting a baby girl, and that excitement definitely spilled over in their portrait session.

Last but not least, my absolute favorite from this session. Gorgeousness!
