A Warm Welcome!

Greetings and welcome to my hand-spun blog+site. My photography journey has been incredible! It began with fun, then grew into passion, then I discovered profound love for it and there was no looking back. Five years later, I have this custom site to showcase what I love doing so much, the art of capturing life just the way I see it. Please look around, this site is a reflection of me. Enjoy exploring it.

Violet’s Birthday Portraits: Old Sacramento Children Photography

I still remember Amanda and Tim’s big day! I remember walking around the garden, capturing their special moments! A few years later, I got the opportunity to photograph their beautiful baby girl Violet. I was anxious about for this session, for one, I love making memories, and the second, I had only seen her pictures and couldn’t wait to meet miss little Violet in person! She was simply adorable with her big smiles, dimples and big wide eyes. And how could I miss those cute curls! She was a doll!

I had a great time catching up with Amanda and Tim while walking around Old Sacramento with them for Violet’s very first birthday portraits. I was reminded again why I do what I do. Like I said before, I love making memories, especially when I get the opportunity to document life as it evolves.

Happy First Birthday, Violet! You are beautiful and charming just like your parents are!

Roseville Newborn Photography: Nathaniel

The joy of being a photographer is the ability to capture life as it evolves. From weddings to families and newborns; this opportunity is unmatchable.

I was anxious to meet baby Nathaniel from his day one. Finally we met on the day 9 for his newborn session. Katie and Sean, his proud parents, looked complete holding Nate in their arms. Nate’s eyes were wide open, as if he was taking in all the attention he could get at the time. I was so happy and thrilled to have captured Nate’s newborn photos that I hope his parents will cherish forever.

Folsom baby portrait : Areeb

It’s incredible to see how life changes, in a good way of course. It grows like a tree. Love between the two becomes a family of three. I was ecstatic when I heard my dear friends were expecting their first child. I could only imagine what the little one would look like

. When I saw baby Areeb for the first time in the hospital, I saw the eyes of his mom, the smile of his daddy, and his little toes were simply adorable. Three months later I got to photograph his cute little face. He smiled, he cried and then he fell asleep, it’s a tiring job after all {to be photograph that is:)}. That’s how that evening went. At the end of the day, we came out with a great set of pictures, that I hope his parents would cherish forever.

Sacramento Portrait Photographer: The Wake Family

How do I begin this post! I have known Don from my early days in California. When I was all alone here, struggling without any friends in a new town where I knew no one but the people I just met at work, Don was one of the ones, at my work, who made me feel like a friend they had known for years. I remember the day when Don helped me bringing home the very first and only furniture for my new apartment…a papasan chair from Pier 1.

Mar, 10, 2011


The chair was so wide that it wouldn’t fit in my car. I met Audra at the office Christmas party. That year, Don and Audra invited us (Jason was in Ca by that time) over to their family Christmas event; they didn’t want us to feel lonely and missing families during the holidays. I was extremely touched by the invite. Although we couldn’t make it to the party that day, I remain thankful for the kindness this couple had shown to us from the very beginning. I don’t think I ever told them how I felt about it. So, Don and Audra – if you are reading this…THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for making us feel like home.

Years have passed, all of us have gone through a lot over the years. But the biggest event of all has been the new addition to the Wake family. David Alan Wake joined the family just around the Thanksgiving time last year. Don and Audra were visiting Sacramento last week when I had a chance to meet little David for the very first time. He seemed to be the cutest little thing with the most beautiful smile and big, magical eyes. And his hair…priceless

I haven’t seen Don and Audra like this ever before, they are in love with this little man and he sure brings a lot of joy to this family. We met up again over their portrait session the following weekend. It was a joy capturing their family moments. I was getting a little teary looking at them while editing the images. I hope these bring back the memories of their time in California as they grow into the life in Texas.
