Holiday Portraits {The Genshlea Family}

So the holidays are here and in full force! I've been designing custom cards for families and here's one of my latest...super cute huh!? It helps to have cute kids though! The Genshlea family (the parents...not the kids!) own Sacramento's first urban winery, Revolution Winery. They have a wonderful selection of wine and do everything (crush, ferment, bottle and taste!) out of their midtown location. If you haven't stopped by...this is definitely a little midtown gem not to be missed. The winery is hosting a holiday bazaar on December 13th featuring local artistic talent - and I'll be there snapping holiday portraits as well! This would be a great time to buy your holiday gifts for those that want something unique and creative! Contact the winery to purchase your tickets - 444-7711. And if you know any artists that should be showcasing their art at this event...please have them contact Gina at the winery as well.

Ciao!

It's beginning to feel alot like Christmas!

Could this family be any cuter! I just had to share the design I put together for their holiday card this year. I can't believe it's that time of year already!!! It's not too late for a holiday session...call the studio for details if you still want to squeeze a session in!

Fall Family Photos!

It's hard to believe - but Christmas is just around the corner. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to photograph some amazing families just in time for the holidays. I am posting some of my favorites from recent sessions. If your sitting there thinking you wish you had scheduled your families' shoot - it's not too late - email me to schedule your appointment.

The Brodrozic Family shoot was much fun. We had amazing weather while at Ancil Hoffman Park and while setting up for this shoot I sat and watched wild turkeys play "tag" on the golf course while people played in the distance. It was actually quite amusing! Even more amusing were the little family antics in between the shots!



The Akins Family recently moved into a new home and received a Family Session as a gift from their Realtor, Parmis, of Parmis Properties. We went to the Rock Garden behind Fairytale Town and captured some great images of their family and their daughter. Unfortunately, I picked the busiest day in the year to do photos near Fairytale Town - who knew "Free Kids Day" would draw such a crowd! Aside from the 20 minute hunt for a parking spot...our session was fabulous!







This shot is one of my favorites from Kiana and Pete's session. They are just the cutest and sweetest kids too - which makes them even more adorable.



This last session I am a little partial to. This is actually my family! I have been blessed with an amazing mother and 2 adorable siblings. Well, sometimes they're adorable and then other times they are just not! And of course...don't forget the dogs...they might as well be kids with the pampering they receive.



Hope you enjoyed the photos! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
