{Roseville,Sacramento Family Photographer}: Lorelle + Carl

Carl and Lorelle have been friends of ours since my family has lived in Roseville. Carl and my husband were actually co-workers. As things happen, jobs take us to different places in our life journeys and thankfully we have all stayed in touch.

The have 3 beautiful children already... this one being the youngest for a few more days and will be the only girl, she is such a little joy...


This one will be a big brother again and I am told is quite the video gamer...he's got skillz...


Carl and Lorelle are welcoming their 4th child into the world (they have a son in college) and are fulfilling their desires for a big happy family. They have a lot of love to give and this baby will be showered with it so deeply.



I am in love with Lorelle's smile when she laughs...


I was honored and thrilled to be asked to photograph this time in Lorelle's pregnancy. She's due in a handful of days and David and I wish you both nothing but restful nights, happy siblings, a smooth schedule, a clean house and lots of loves, hugs and kisses, of course!

~lots o 'love,
~jenn & dave

Tease {Roseville, Sacramento Children Photographer}

Spring was teasing yesterday. The sun and blue skies came around for a little while and it lifted me. I'll take it, the bits and pieces, I'll take it.

Random Monday {Family Photographer in Roseville and Sacramento}

Monday already. (sigh) Just some random photos I plucked out for today's post... I'm getting really cagey and am feeling a bit blue.

I think this is a favorite photo of myself.


If this one doesn't put a smile on your face, then seriously, I don't know what will...


...and one last random one of my little man...


Happy Random Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: SoCal Holiday...

One thing we did when we were spending holidays in SoCal was to get some family portraits done. David and I were late coming back from 29 Palms and the sun was already setting behind the tall mountains at 4pm. We had very limited sun, so we had to work fast.

The kids snapped into place...


and Nana and Grandpa followed accordingly...


We didn't have to go far for a location. Grandpa has always had a knack for finding homes with beautiful views in their backyard...




Nana and the girls...


A nice dinner out at the outdoor terrace...in winter!


and one last evening swim before we had to head home...


David practically stood out dodging the sprinklers for this one...


We miss the beautiful weather that we were spoiled with. Thank you Nana and Grandpa for having us!

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: 9 years ago today....

She was supposed to be born in February, around Valentine's Day. She didn't want to wait and decided to come 6 weeks earlier, nine years ago today. She was my preemie baby, my first baby and she is my heart walking outside of me. I think she is brilliant...and that's because she really is... Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: The Dead of Winter... in the Desert....

This was pretty much the end of our 2009 going into 2010. In the California desert, in the middle of winter, beautiful blue skies and temperatures into the 70's. Can you imagine swimming in this gorgeous weather the whole time? That's what my kids did...
they were fish...

they were happy...

If they weren't in the water, they were on the golf course...

getting tips from grandpa...

and grabbing the club...

and giving it a go...

all the while I'd make David go and pose for me...

... and the sky was really that gorgeous as the sun was setting...

...when we wanted a break, we were here, with our feet up...


Happy first Wednesday of Twenty Ten!

{Roseville, Sacramento Photographer}: The City By the Bay...

Happy New Year! Wow, 2010...as I write, I am recovering from New Year's Eve in Disneyland. It was packed last night, an hour long wait for each ride, I'm glad we went! But, I have met my people quota for awhile. Thank goodness everyone was in a festive spirit. How was yours? I hope it was fun and safe and you aren't recovering too bad...

Here's more of our day trip to San Francisco...
After our sushi boat dinner, we were daring enough to go drive down Lombard Street. The crooked-est street in the world. Living so close to the city a decade ago, David and I have been here many, many, many times. I think the kids enjoyed the acceleration up and down the streets more though...

I think they thought they were on a roller coaster ride...

Always a line up...

Who hasn't done this before? Dork.

Our cabbie...

I jumped out of the car to take a few of these shots... for as many times as I've been here, I don't think I've ever taken photos here...except now...

That's our mini-van!

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! Woohoo 2010!

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: J-Town, S.F.

We found ourselves in Japan-town, S.F., Sunday afternoon. We don't venture much into the city by the bay, because it's THE BIG CITY. With 3 under 9 years of age, it can be somewhat difficult finding restrooms and timing has to be just right. We decided to let the dice roll and gamble our luck. We had a fun afternoon. Japan-town is a must stop for us to eat. We are sushi lovin' people and thank goodness, our kids are becoming lovers' as well...

This place always has a crowd in front and it really kinda is a hole in the wall... it's soo tiny and always a wait for the sushi boats...

David and I used to come here before we were married, so it's kind of a gas to realize we are bringing our kids here now...

One of those, "who would've ever thunk it" kind of things...

If you are ever in J-town, stop by Isobune for lunch or dinner, it's for sushi boat lovers only~ obviously.

It is nice to have a bit of a break to photograph my family. It's the old adage about the shoemaker never having enough time to make shoes for his kids...so I'm so honestly glad that I am able to carve out time to practice my skillz on them. We would have stayed outside longer, but it was pretty cold.

Japan-town is a great place to roam around and explore. Of course, this kid and her new Itouch, when school starts, there are going to be limits to this gadget! She was busy dressing the fantasy fairies on her Itouch.

This one was full of energy. The sushi boat place gave each kid a sucker in the shape of sushi! So he was happy savoring it.

Only two sleeps left in 2009...make them count! Have a safe and wonderful New Year's celebration! I'll be in Disneyland!!!!
