Chico Newborn Baby Photographer - Baby Sohnrey

I’m so excited for this family! When Nicole first reached out to me about newborn photos she expressed she wanted the photos to be soft, simple and light! Nothing harsh or dark. I totally knew what she meant and was excited for the opportunity to work with her and Alex once their baby arrived.

One of the main reasons I love shooting newborn photos on film is because of the natural and soft tones is creates. My newborn studio creates the perfect space for families to come, spend time together in an environment perfect for photos. I always aim for my photos to look natural and candid and I love the way these turned out!

Chico California Family Lifestyle Photographer - Spring Family Photos - Carranza Family

This was my last Chico family photo session before having my second son Oliver. It was extra special for me for a number of reasons. Number one was because this was a family session with two boys that are the same gape that my two sons are. It felt like a glimpse into my new reality and make me so excited to watch the bond grow between my sons just like these two boys.

Second, Ashley had worked in the wedding industry with us and it was such an honor that reached out wanted to capture this sweet season of her family out on their beautiful property near Butte College.

Gosh I love this family so much! Sweet Sadie Kate is beautiful and I loved getting to meet her for the first time. Mason and Holly are past clients of ours. You can ask any photographer and I promise you they will answer the same way. Anytime you have a past client reach out wanting to invest in your services, theres a deep feeling of honor and joy. I especially feel that way when I watch many of our past wedding couples step into parenthood and invite me to document the journey. It’s so so special for me.ast wedding couples step into parenthood and invite me to document the journey. It’s so so special for me.
