We had such an overwhelming response to our holiday special last year that we decided to bring it back again, on a very limited basis. These will be “express sessions” and therefore not suited to large, extended families or those of you who want our full-session experience. Our very own outdoor location in old Roseville is a rare find with beautiful fall leaves and works great with casual or dressy wardrobe, or our studio is at the same location and can be a great option as well! We are offering super special pricing on both print and digital collections in addition to our beautiful custom holiday cards. Don’t miss out on this special opportunity to make something beautiful out of 2021!!

While the weather lately has not indicated that it’s Spring, the calendar assures us that it’s here! Many of you have asked over the years for us to hold a portrait event for Spring (and to showcase those fantastic Easter outfits!), so we are obliging with our first-ever Spring studio portrait event. No need to worry about the weather with this beautiful, classic scenic background that will surely be perfect for your more formal wardrobe selections. “Formal” can mean many things, and we love to help out with any of your wardrobe questions! These special sessions are limited to just a few days, so be sure to contact us right away in order to reserve your spot!

It is with heartfelt gratitude we want to thank our community and clients for voting and naming us Favorite Family Photographer in the Roseville/Rocklin/Granite Bay Style Magazine! This is not an honor we take lightly, as we didn’t even realize the voting was taking place until we received the email notifying us we had won. We feel so fortunate to be able to create heirloom portraits for many families in our community, and more blessed by the relationships we establish with so many of you. We watch families grow and change over the years, see children grow up, and in some cases, become acutely aware of how priceless these portraits become when life can take unfortunate turns. Don’t wait for the “perfect time” to take your family portrait–those 5 pounds you want to lose or when life become less hectic; there is no more perfect time than the present to capture this precious time in life. Don’t look for the “best deal” you can find; invest in quality and the confidence in knowing you will have a family portrait you will love and that will stand the test of time. We look forward to many more years of preserving the memories for the wonderful families in our community! Thank you again for this honor!

We are so excited to announce our first-ever pet portrait event!! These 15-minute mini sessions will be by appointment only so we make sure we aren’t overrun with too many furry friends all at once, and also to make sure we are able to photograph several different looks for your pet. For a $25 session fee and a donation of a bag of dog or cat food to the Placer SPCA (10-20 lbs please; the SPCA prefers Science Diet for what they feed the shelter animals, but will accept any brand for their local pet food bank), you will receive a 5×7 print of your fur baby, to be chosen at your in-studio private screening/ordering appointment. While these are pet sessions, please come prepared to be in the portrait if necessary to hold your pet (may even just be your hands or feet! :-). If you have more than 1 furry friend, you only need to bring one food bag donation per family, however the $25 session fee will be per/animal, as we will allot more time for more pets. Please call or email us with any questions and/or to reserve your spot today–can’t wait to meet your fur babies!!

We are pleased to announce the return of our Daddy & Me portrait charity event. The background for the event will be a lovely light blue (the same as this year’s Mommy & Me portraits, which would make for an adorable side-by-side!). Feel free to bring children of any age, and why not add in a grandfather or great-grandfather for a generations portrait? We welcome multiple setups for one group; you just will make a separate donation to one of our favorite charities, Child Advocates of Placer County (CASA), for each grouping. As with our other charity events, you will receive a 5×7 print of the best image, chosen by us (those who opt to pre-order a digital image file at the event will choose your favorite image on the spot). The prints will be available for pickup Friday, June 24 and Saturday, June 25 from 12-1pm. If a digital file is purchased, those will be delivered via email by Thursday, June 9. We are excited to be bringing this event back and hope to see you all there!

It’s that time of year again! The weather is starting to cool, football is back on, and Costumes & Cans is here again, this time in our new studio location (in same parking lot as Outback Steakhouse, next to Quest Diagnostics)!  We are excited to be partnering with the Placer Food Bank once again to collect non-perishable food items for those in need right here in our own community.  Please share this information with your family and friends so we can make the biggest possible impact and fill the shelves of the food bank!

As a reminder, you will receive one 5×7 print for your minimum 5 can food donation per child (costumes required). No appointment is necessary, but the first 2 hours tend to be busiest, so if you have older children that don’t nap, the afternoon is a great time to come!

To keep the event running as smoothy as possible, we are once again offering online registration forms you can complete prior to the event. Please remember to print out your forms and bring them with you the day of the event. Please complete one form per child/group (if your children are only being photographed together, you will only need one form).  If you choose to add on any prints or digital file options from the event, we will only be accepting cash or checks for this event.  You can register online HERE.

Looking forward to seeing you and all of your little ghouls on Sunday, Oct. 11 between 10-2!

Happy New Year!  Now that the holidays are over, we are so excited for our annual Vintage Valentine event.  We have added more beautiful wardrobe, accessories and furnishings to our already huge assortment. This year’s look revolves around soft peachy pinks, blush, and our gorgeous new settee and custom canvas background.  We also have a selection of adorable vests, bow ties and caps for boys to coordinate (please call to discuss available sizes for boys and girls).  As always, our wardrobe selection will include the colors palettes shown from prior years.  We will be offering beautiful custom Valentine cards and other newly designed offerings made to showcase your timeless portraits.  These sessions will fill quickly, so please call early to reserve your date/time.

Meet the Black family.  We first met when we photographed Ariahna for her senior portraits a while back (she is standing next to her twin brother).  This time the whole gang came along, and since we didn’t photograph her siblings before, they got a little extra attention 🙂  The day was gorgeous and so was this family.  A very close knit group, they were a pleasure to capture these moments.  Here are some favorites.
