Playing in the woods at Sea Ranch | Sea Ranch & Mendocino Photographer

I couldn’t resist posting these today!

On Monday, my mom and I packed up the kids and took a mini-vacation up to The Sea Ranch.  The Sea Ranch is my favorite place, in the world.  And I don’t have to go all around the world to know that this is true :-) .  I think the unrefined, untouched, non-commercial beauty of this 10 mile stretch of coast has won me over.  Just look at the beauty of the forest!  The Sea Ranch is a gem, and if I could set it in a ring and wear it around my finger, I just might.

Not only do I love visiting there, I love taking pictures there.  There is something about the forest, the beach, the local winery – all amazing backgrounds for drawing out the natural beauty in people.  I think that as a photographer I’ve never set out to create something that isn’t there, I’d rather set out to find what is usually missed.  Sea Ranch brings out the easily missed beauty in everything.  Take a look at these images – my little princess dancing in the forest, my 3 year old BOY jumping off a stump framed by two redwood trees, my children (who are the best and worst of friends) giggling on a fallen tree.  I couldn’t love it more

These images were created in the forest behind my parent’s house up at Sea Ranch.  The light was gorgeous and the setting, I would say, enchanting.

If you are drawn to the coast and interested in pictures (family, engagement, whatever!) please call me!  I would love to meet you up there and create these kinds of images for you!

Abygail is two! | Concord/Clayton Family Photographer

Check out the images of my darling niece, Abby!  Abby turned two earlier this year; you should hear her sweet voice and the incredible vocabulary this little one has :-) .  I enjoyed talking her 2 year old pictures so much.  It’s an honor to watch her grow and document her life. What I love most about being a photographer is being able to work with beautiful families in beautiful locations – to work together with them to create the kinds of pictures that bring them joy!

I love the sky in these next two images:


Abbey’s mommy brought a princess tent!  It was SOOOOO much fun!

Thanks Abby, for being so cute :-) and letting me document your milestones :-)

Luka | Concord/Clayton Family Photographer

Luka turned one!!!!  We had SO much fun yesterday taking pictures.  The sun was out, the grass was green, and I hardly recognized my favorite outdoor  location!  The best part, though, was that Luka has the most endearing personality, and his mama and daddy were so sweet and made everything so easy and smooth.  Thank you guys!  I had so much fun taking your family pictures!!!
