Happy New Year from the Kennedys!

We plan to spend the day enjoying the snow in Tahoe- I love pictures in the snow. Hope everyone has a fun, safe New Years. This is Nick enjoying some hot chocolate while we admired Christmas Lights in Orangevale and Emma working hard as Santa's Elf on Christmas day.

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a magical Christmas filled with big smiles and lots of laughter! This is a picture of Annie in her Holiday dress and her brother Jake.

sugar and spice and everything nice

Rainy Day Photos

This is Kimmi and her beautiful smile. We went to Old Sacramento today and braved the rain. Actually it was a perfect place - lots of covered locations and the weather stopped just long enough to get some shots on the tracks. She chose some great bright colors- I love the Letterman's jacket!

The Birds!

I took some last minute holiday photos today near the river and my daughter Emma and I caught a flock of seagulls flying all around us. This was a shot I took of her and the birds!

Holiday Orders

If you still need prints, cards or photobooks tomorrow is the last day to order and still guarantee shipping before Christmas. Photos make the best gifts!!

The Blue Jacket

This is my Nick, letting his mother take yet another picture of him- this time dressed in this super snazzy blue jacket. We are using this photo in the "What to Wear" guide. I love it!

Jacqueline

This is Jacqueline and as you can see she photographs beautifully. These were taken in Old Sacramento yesterday morning, in the cold and damp fog! She was a amazing and even braved the little dress!

The Osbourne Girls

These were taken in Old Sacramento - super sweet girls, as were their parents. Old Sacramento really offers a great variety of textures and colors.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. This weekend I took some photos of two families, the Brown's in Sacramento and the Snider family in Chico. How lucky were we to have such nice weather for the holiday! This is a picture of Jamie Brown and her fabulous dimples the other photo is the snider kids playing in some fallen leaves.

Shy Smile

This is Jack, I took pictures of him and his three sisters on Saturday. He has the best little smile!

Holiday Photos

I will be at Ancil Hoffman Park this Saturday and Sunday afternoon taking family photos for holiday cards and gifts. I will also be taking photos in Old Sacramento Sunday morning. E-mail me if you are interesting in a time slot at one of those locations. Looks like it is going to be a nice weekend to get portraits taken!

Karla

I went to my first Quinceanera yesterday, Happy 15th birthday to the beautiful Karla.

Sunday at Ancil Hoffman

Are these not the sweetest sisters!

I took photos of them and their amazing family late Sunday afternoon. The sunlight was just perfect over the river at Ancil Hoffman Park.

Senior Portraits

What a great day for pictures! This is Madison and her beautiful smile.

Fall Colors

I went to Gibson Ranch for the first time today to shoot some fall photos. The trees are just starting to turn, in a couple of weeks they will be beautiful!

Two New Card Styles

Sights and smells of fall are everywhere to be found.
Leaves are falling

Swirling, twirling

Softly to the ground

Muddy Soccer Day

My hair is wet, my feet are wet,

I couldn't be much wetter.

I fell into a river once

this is even better.

Nick's Halloween Poem

This is a poem that my seven year old son, Nick wrote last night for Halloween. I loved it- so thought I would share.

Spooky Hour

Skeletons rattle,
Skeletons shake,
Here come the zombies
They're wide awake,
And out with the light
And whoosh went the wind
Out came the spiders
Down they descend.
Then here they come the
Vampires full of power,
WELCOME to the spooky hour!

Blue Eyed Girl

Wow, she has the most beautiful blue eyes, they just draw you in.

The Beautiful Myers Sisters
