Kingsbury Family {Dixon family photography}

The Kingsbury family is super special to me because they were some of my very first clients! This session has long been in the works because it was very important to Kirsty to do a family photo with everyone together, and up until a few months ago part of the family lived in Texas. Thankfully they are all together again and we were able to get everyone together. This family will have a few more faces added to it before too long, Kirsty & Cassie are both expecting baby boys next year!
Next we have all the lovely ladies. It's a good thing a couple of baby boys are on the way, they will help balance things out! :) And here we have the handsomest ones of the group :) We couldn't pass up the chance for some family shots.
Kris & Kirsty and Taylor (plus baby boy on the way!) Ryan & Cassie and Emma (and of course the other baby boy! These cousins are going to have a best friend from birth!) Grand Daughters are a wonderful blessings! :) Taylor could definitely become a full fledged model. She has been in front of either my or Kirsty's camera practically from the day she was born! You just can't help taking photos of her, she's too adorable! Emma looks a little bigger than the last photos I took of her. And what a cutie she is! Missy & Kay have too much fun together. Can't you tell? :) Robert & DeeDee, I just love these of you two. Thank you Kingsbury family - it was fun! :)

C.Jay & Anna {Old Sacramento Engagement Session}

I've made many a trip to Old Sacramento over the years but this was my first time doing a photography session there. I loved the versatility! 

We had a beautiful November evening. The day before was cold & rainy but we couldn't have asked for better weather - I love it when that happens! We scheduled the shoot the first evening of day lights savings so it was weird having to make sure we started shooting at 4pm so that we still had daylight - I'm not sure I'm ready for the short winter days! On the other hand, Anna and I both agreed we are ready for the cooler weather - bring on the sweaters and peacoats and scarves! Speaking of which, Anna & CJay nailed it on wardrobe, reminds me of everything fall & cozy. 

Anna & CJay are a joy to work with, they are everything a couple should be. They met during orientation at college and it didn't take too long for them to realize they met their perfect match. And now, here they are planning a wedding for this coming May!
As it turns out, we started the photoshoot not too far from where CJay proposed! How cool is that! Now onto the photos of these two beautiful people! :)  

Enjoy this time you two! The wedding will be here before we know it and I absolutely cannot wait!

Sheldon-Woller Family {Dixon Family Portraits}

When was the last time you had your family photo taken? If you can't remember or if your family has doubled in size since the last one, that is no bueno! The Sheldon Family are good friends of mine and while their family was in town visiting from out of state, we jumped at the opportunity take a photo of the entire family. I think they're a picture-perfect family if you ask me! What you don't know is that my twin sisters were jumping around behind me getting the attention of all those kiddos! And as you can see, it worked! :)
We didn't stop at just the group shot, we couldn't pass up the chance for some individual family photos too! Here we have Nate & Nicki with the newest addition to the Woller family, the adorable little Lacey!
Next we have the Sheldon family! :) Usually I'm snapping photos of the Sheldon kids but this time we did some mom & dad pictures. This one wins the official sweetest-cousin-picture-ever award! Saylor gave Lacey a kiss, love it! Can't forget the two who started it all! :) I'll close with all the cousins together.
Thank you for letting me photograph your beautiful family! Contact Shannon | Visit the Website | Join the Facebook Page

Lily {Davis Newborn Photography}

Babies are such a nice way to start people. -Don Herrold

Isn't that the truest thing? I had the privilege of capturing some newborn portraits of baby Lily with her family. Alicia and James drove down from Placerville and we spent an Saturday morning taking these sweet photos. Lily was a great little model, I forget how easy it can be to capture newborns because they don't move any where and most of the time they are just sleeping away! I hope when Lily's older she will be able to look back at these photos and see how much her family loves her, and how adorable and tiny she was! :)

Lily has an adorbale big brother named Jace who came along for the photoshoot of course! He had the biggest blue eyes and how can you not love that cute grin!? I loved seeing him give his baby sister kisses, melt my heart! :)
Congratulations Salters family on your adorable new addition! :) Contact Shannon | Visit the Website | Join the Facebook Page
