Christian Turns one!- Chico California Photographer

One of the reason's why I love my job is because I get to be apart of other people's life events. I get to watch families grow and welcome little ones in to the world. When I first photographed the Charmely's it was only three of them, Misty, Chris and Lexsey. Just prior to the session they had gone through something very hard. Over the next couple years they endured heart ache through miscarriages. When I found out that Misty was pregnant, I seriously almost cried! She is such a wonderful woman and an amazing mama! I was even more overjoyed when I found out they were having a boy! I had the privilege of photographing their maternity photos and not to long after, Christians newborn photos. Asher was only about a month at the time so I of course was in baby mode! A few months after, Chris and Misty announced that they were moving to Fortuna, Ca. I was sad because I thought I would be losing a great client! I was SO excited when Misty messaged me saying she was coming to Chico and wanted a session. I of coursed couldn't say no! Christian is one of the happiest babies I've ever photographed and I just LOVE the idea Misty came up with for the session!

Asher's 1st Birthday!

I know it's been a month since my sweet baby turned one but I'm finally remembering to post his birthday! I had so much fun planning his party. I decided to go with a woodland type theme. It was perfect for so many reasons! One being that I always call him "Moose". Don't ask me why because I honestly don't know, but it fits him so well! The second being that one of my friends had a few decorations that worked perfectly! It was a little difficult planning things because we actually had his birthday party in Chico, so I was planning things from out of town. All in all I think it turned out great! Next year though I will definitely be doing it at my own place in Sacramento! Also, I'm so happy I'm a photographer and have great photographer friends! I took photos at my friend Katelyn's son's first birthday and so in return she took some photos for me at Asher's party! Thanks again Katelyn!!! Hope you guys enjoy these photos, oh and check out our awesome piñata!
