When Time Stood Still: All Things Bright and Beautiful {Sacramento Family Portraits}

Phillip and Chelsey have such a fun little family – I could tell this right off the bat when Chelsey told me she’d have their girls in bright pink and orange pettiskirts for our shoot.  Though the skies were cold and gray, there wasn’t much that could hide the sunshine they share.  We had a sweet, memorable time in downtown Folsom together, and I’m so honored to have been given the opportunity to capture this precious time in their lives.

 

When I look through my camera at scenes like this, I can’t help but feel a tug at my own heart for the sweet tenderness the Lord gives parents of little ones.  What a blessing parenthood is!

Chloe had so much fun keeping warm by running with Daddy!  The fluffing of her pettiskirt as her little legs ran was ADORABLE.

 

 

Here’s a grouping of images that would look beautiful together up on the wall, set in a champagne frame with a dark brown and taupe mat.

This family is so affectionate – I was blessed by their love for one another.

 


I love the way they looked at each other throughout our shoot – amidst the activity of two little cutie pie girls running around, the weather trying to freeze us out, and the mindful eye of a camera lens, they seemed to share such a peaceful understanding, a quiet love that believes and cherishes deeply.

 

And, of course, who could even THINK about resisting the cuteness of these two??!!

 

Thank you so very much for the privilege of joining you for the afternoon of memories (and chocolates!) :) .

It’s always so impossible for me to whittle the images down to just a few for the sneak peek…  Until our View & Order Session when you’ll get to see the rest, enjoy!

When Time Stood Still: Unfading Beauty {Riverside Senior Portraits}

Last weekend Missy and I went walking and talking through downtown Riverside.  We had such a lovely time – she’s easy going, and yet she has an adventurous spirit too.  But the thing I noticed most about Missy was her beauty.  The Lord has given her a beautiful gentleness that His Word calls “unfading” (1 Peter 3:4).  I hope you can catch a glimpse of it in what we created together…


Oh, and to top it off, she’s stunningly gorgeous!


The look she has about her in the above left image reminds me of some famous supermodel – someone help me remember the name? …

Missy, thank you so very much for sharing the morning with me.  You’re a sweet girl – I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for you!

See you soon for your Viewing Appointment.  So excited to show you the rest :) .

Sincerely,

Andrea

Just had to add another from Marissa’s shoot – doesn’t she belong in a magazine?! I think most people are nervous at the beginning of a shoot because they’re not sure what to expect, and because most people don’t really like having their picture taken in the first place. Thanks Marissa for trusting me with this and “working it” for the camera – go girl!

Saturday I had the privilege of taking Marissa’s Senior Portraits. We had a great time walking and talking and laughing together in downtown Riverside. Here’s a sneak peek – I can’t wait to show you the rest! Thanks again Marissa, for a lovely afternoon and thanks Michelle for the wonderful dinner!
