Michael Hendrix Senior Session Dixon California

I went out to the Hendrix ranch last week to photograph Michael's senior session. It was a lot of fun to use their surroundings as props. In addition to living on site, Michael also works for the Hendrix Hay Co. so we took some photos in one of the hay barns and used a combine and a truck for some images.




I have always loved the road with the bridge leading up to the ranch so we had to do a photo there of course. I think Michael was a real natural in front of the camera. It also helped that his grandma, Ginni, came along to act goofy behind me to get some smiles. (Thanks, Ginni!)


One request from mom, Jill, was a few photos of Michael with his truck so we took off to the middle of one of their hay fields.

Brenna's Maternity Session

I was so happy to photograph Brenna's second maternity session for her new daughter due on May 23. As you can tell, she looks amazing.

This little cutie is Tehya, who joined in for a few photos with mom and dad, Matt.


What a fun image comparing bellies!


A couple more of just momma and baby.....


Thanks for a great session, Brenna. It was wonderful to see you all again! I cannot wait to meet the new little one.

Almost Due!

I wanted to share with you a photo I took of Rose yesterday out in a field in Dixon. She is absolutely glowing! At a little under 3 weeks away from her due date, Rose thinks baby girl Ashlyn Rose might be coming a little earlier than expected. I can't wait to meet her, she will be so loved!





Have a wonderful weekend!

Suzanne Lorente's Portrait Session for her album cover

Two of the images Suzanne will be using for her album cover and CD insert. I can hardly wait to see the finished product and be able to sit down and listen to all her music. She sang a little bit for us when we were doing the session and image review. It surely made us want more.

Zachariah's Three Months Baby Portrait - Dixon California

These are some of my favorite images from this session taken late last year. Z was such a happy baby. We did several different set ups, one of which included hanging him from a branch tucked up safe and snug in some gauzy material.

I so love the background in this image!

Some recent boudoir portraits done for Valentine's Day. We made some cute little albums from their chosen images which are available for viewing at the studio as samples.










This image also made for a great wall portrait.

Janelle's Maternity Session

Ryan and I photographed Janelle and Tim's wedding last year so I was very excited to see her again for a maternity session. She is very creative so was up for anything, I love the images we captured for her and little Logan.

I was also happy to use some of my new backgrounds for the Virtual Backgrounds Scene Machine.









Thanks for coming in Janelle. I would love to hear about which one is your favorite. It was definitely hard for me to narrow down to just these few.

Fun In-n-Out Burger Facebook Photo Contest

Last year, in the middle of the summer, DJ found about this little photo contest one of the Facebook Fan Pages was running for the best photo with an In-n-Out theme. This is what we came up with. Of course, we used our best model, Bailey, who really did get to eat the prop food. We won the contest - I wish I could say it was some of their yummy grub - but it was the honor of saying we won which meant this picture was posted as the profile picture for the page on FaceBook for awhile. Fun!

We LOVE In-n-Out!

Some cute portrait collages

We had a lot of fun working with Abbi and Nathan and I love these two 10x20 collages that we did for Christmas. They looked gorgeous framed!
