Family Portaits with pet dog in Rocklin, California

Kenny and Theresa are friends of mine who got married in October of 2009. This year they decided it was time to have an addition to their family! And thus, Buster was added to the family tree. This cute little papillon is as rambunctious as a puppy should be and as equally adorable (if not more than)! We had original plans to take portraits at a place in Downtown Sacramento, but decided on a Park in Rocklin instead. Buster was such a great sport and it was such a joy to photograph Kenny and Theresa's newly expanded family! Enough chat! Here are the portraits!

Folsom, California Family Portrait Photography

I met up with Leslie a few weeks ago. Super mom to two girls and a baby boy! Unfortunately dad "wasn't able to make the photoshoot" (camera shy much?) but Leslie took up the opportunity to take photos with her little ones and surprise dad with a portrait for his birthday! (which is why I couldn't blog this images sooner!) We first drove to a park/bike path with un-used train tracks to take photos and then ended up back at their home for some portraits sitting in Great-Grandma's pint-sized rocking chair that has been passed down the family! The girls were so loving and helpful with their little brother and he was such a good sport and didn't even shed a tear! Enough talk, here are the images from the session in Folsom, Ca!

It was so precious the way they looked at their mama!

I love the browns and whites that Leslie picked out for them to wear that day.

                               

Such big helpers!

At this point we were talking about "Dora the Explorer" I'm not sure Jude was as into it as the girls were! lol


                               

The girls were so careful with their brother, you can tell they just love him so much. :)

                                            

 Sisters.

I loved this little bike pathway!

                                                

Such a handsome little guy!

                               

All of the kids in Great-Grandma's chair!

Downtown Sacramento, CA Family Portraits

Andrea & Jesse's families have been wanting portraits of their little family for quite sometime, and so last night I met up with this lovely couple and their adorable dog, Iggy in downtown Sacramento for some Christmas family portraits. The weather was a little moody, but that didn't stop us. That darn sun just didn't want to come out and play with us! But we had fun anyhow going through the park, discovering new backdrops and talking about our favorite spots to eat at in the area. (I highly recommend Magpie! They have a to die for pork belly appetizer and their bread pudding with blueberries is a winner as well.) Well enough talk! Here are the images. Enjoy!

Auburn, California Engagement Photography

Hi friends!
I cannot say enough times that Auburn is one of the most perfect locations for engagement portraits! Especially at this time of year. The colors are amazing and the variety of backdrops are incredible. Yesterday I had the great joy of running around Auburn with Josh & Michelle. Here are a few teasers from our session yesterday, enjoy!

First we took some portraits by these neat railroad tracks. Aren't they cute?!



An up close of these love birds sitting on the tracks.



The sun was glorious! (you'll see that in a few photos again too)



I love this one of them trying to get through the balloons!



The sun was such a beautiful golden warm color, I couldn't resist a semi silhouette shot. Doesn't it make you want to melt?



This was near the end of our session. Josh found this great brick wall and we captured this beautiful dipping shot!



Keep an out out for a full blog post on these two! Thanks for reading!

Hi Friends!

Christmas is right around the corner and I thought I'd blog about what I've been dreaming about this Christmas season. Honestly I usually have NO IDEA what I want, but this year I've actually tried to put some thought into it and keep a list of things I think of throughout this fall. Here is my wish list. What's on yours?

I Love Sewing and making crafts so much! I often wish I had a sewing machine so I could make clothes for myself! Now this one is a bit outdated but it's still a cute photo. :)



I don't think I've ever owned a housecoat but it seems like such a nice thing to have, especially with the chilly weather right now! If I ever want to check the mail, or walk my boyfriend out to his car to say goodnight, this would be perfect to throw on before heading out into the chilly air. Plus the light mint color is nice!



Antique looking heeled boots have been on a wish list of mine for quite some time. I can't decide if I like brown or black better. I like the delicate lace on these brown ones.



These black Victorian-esq booties are cute and stylish but study at the same with the big solid heels.



Another addition to my wish list this year are gloves. I've been wanting a nice pair of gloves for years now, but for some reason I never buy them for myself! I like the soft dusty rose color and the black stitching.



I thought these "texting" gloves looked pretty cozy! I like the button details as well.



I love that these look velvet like and they're blue! The white piping border and buttons make it really unique.



Now who could resist these baby blue gloves with the fake watch stitched onto the wrists?!



I have always been such a huge fan of scarfs and look forward to fall every year just so I can wear mine! I've always been so cautious in my scarf choices however and feel the need to branch out into pretty patterns and more bold colors. (My current scarf collection consists of a black scarf, a white scarf and a plain cotton grey one)



Ok so this scarf isn't colorful, but it's got a beautiful pattern!



I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ruffly scarf! Plus this golden brown is beautiful.



I know this is grey, but it definitely has much more character and texture than my current grey scarf.



Another thing I've always been a fan of are hats! I don't really have many winter type hats though. Just one that a dear friend gave me for Christmas one year. (and I absolutely love it) I've always wanted one of these hats that cover up my ears. Sometimes they seem a little over the top, but I like how low key this one is.



I am a sucker for cloches! I like how the ribbon is tied on this hat. It's simple and elegant. Just my style. (or what I wish my style was haha)



Well that's it! That's my wish list! What's your wish list this Christmas season?

Auburn, CA Wedding { Bill & Alice }

As you remember a few posts ago I had giving you a few "teasers" from the wedding of Bill & Alice that I photographed in Auburn, CA. Here are my favorite picks from that day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Much Love & Happiness, Tiana

These salt and pepper shakers reminded me of skyscrapers.

I love shots of hairspray!



Alice was being silly, what an adorable woman.



I loved the buttons going all the way down the back of her dress!



Plus the folds in the bottom of the dress were so much fun to photograph.



Putting on the dress







Her simple but lovely bouquet



The MOH, the groom's daughter



The Best man, the bride's son!



It was so funny, they both had such problems putting their rings on each other!







Bill finally had to finish putting his ring on.



The Kiss!



Details of the Maid of Honor and Best Man





Portraits of Bill and Alice





I LOVED this wall! The light, the color. These two were just so much fun.





I just love the way her veil looks in this one!





I couldn't resist snapping a shot of everyone grabbing shots of the Bride & Groom!



Dinner time!



Time to cut the cake. Thank goodness for umbrella's to bounce flash off of, it was pitch black at this point!



Let the PARTY begin!







The lovely bartenders! What a cute couple.



And last but not least, the bride and groom with their rings & bracelet & watch.
