Lily & the Fire Chief

Good morning and happy Monday!

This past Sunday, I got a chance to take family photos for Nate & his ADORABLE daughter, Lily. Nate is the fire chief at the UC Davis Fire Station. Amazingly enough, I got in touch with him through Instagram. We talked on Friday, set the time & date on Saturday morning (as I was heading to Hien & Loc's engagement ceremony) and did the photoshoot on Sunday. Talk about decisiveness, Nate!!!! 

 Looking at this set of photos, I have to say that Nate & Lily are the cutest and happiest duel that I have worked with. There is so much love and smiles and they show through these father & daughter images so well. Nate, I appreciate you for trusting me to capture your family memories. I had a great time working with you & Lily. What an awesome team you guys make.

I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did working on them. I mean, how often do you get to go to a fire station to do a photoshoot! So without further ado, here they are:

 I went ga-ga over this picture of Lily in her oversized firefighter jacket, trailing behind her Dad. 

How much cuter can you get!!!

 Normally these are not the pictures that you would print. However, the reason why I love them so much is that they show "STRENGTH!" With parents and children, it shows how little your child was and at the same time how strong, how tall, how young you were as well. Next year and the following years when you take photos again, you'd notice then that your child is taller and heavier. Pretty soon you can't carry him/her like this anymore. Rather, your child can carry you instead. 

These make for great photobook pages because to me, they tell stories. Do you agree?

I think Lily agree because look how happy she looked!

 

And that is all for the first photoshoot off of the "Holiday Family Photo Sessions". If you haven't schedule your family photo session yet, you can do so here. I am currently booking for October, November and December in the greater Sacramento and surrounding area. This is a great time to get your holiday photos in, right on time to create holiday cards with!

More information is available at www.twotwentyphotos.com under "Specials". For questions and booking, please email me at info@twotwentyphotos.com.

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my work!

I look forward to working with you soon!

Sweet Amy!!!

Today it rained for the first time this year, which is surprising early since raining season doesn't start until much later. I went out with my umbrella to catch the heavy downpour but instead look what I found: Amy! She is my neighbor's daughter. She was in the garage with her Dad when I walked by. She saw my camera and asked to take some pictures. She is soooo adorable and make the cutest faces. During our mini-session, a double rainbow even came out! It was amazing!!!! Her Mom is going to be so surprised when she sees these photos.

Lastly, this is my favorite!

The Dich Family

Here are the photos of Daniela and her beautiful family. Daniela and Phil want to include his Mom as well and since her mobility is limited, their backyard served as a beautiful backdrop for the photos. Right after that we skipped over to a trail outside their house to capture some more awesome photos. If you hear me refer to Uno and Dos on Facebook, those are the brother's at-home names. They are actually Devin and Dalton but at home, it's Uno and Dos. They got all wet while splashing in the koi pond. Poor fishes, they must have been scared to death by these two boys. The cutest thing about the boys though, is that Dos is at that stage now where he is imitating everything that his older brother does. This include making zombies faces and clapping and tickling and so on. LOL. Here are the photos:

 

 What better way to measure the boy's growth than comparing them to their Dad's height? 

 

I can't get over the picture how cute this picture is. Once Dos changed into a new outfit, he was fast to get off his Dad's lap so he can race around the yard again. But since he doesn't have any shoes yet, he went around tip-toeing, LIGHTLY, SUPER GENTLY!!! *die from cuteness just thinking about that moment*

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the photos. I can't believe September is almost here. This means holiday photos are going to be available soon. I am super excited about that. 

I think this calls for a Family & Friends Special.
What do you think?
