Valley Images Photography

One of my favorite places to take couples when they let me choose the location ... The Bay Area. I love all the options the west coast gives, from sultry sunsets on the sand to beautiful views on the mountain top. Where do you want to have your engagement session!?! Don’t forget I love to travel, I’m pretty much game for anything! Let’s go!

How gorgeous is she!? I love this shot not only because she’s stunning and for the lighting but because of how natural it feels. Adding movement to your poses helps break that stiff wall.

2021 is just around the corner and I’m not looking back. While I am sure that the majority of my events and sessions will be impacted in one way or the other, I am so looking forward to new adventures and new fabulous couples! So here is to looking forward in 2021!

One of my most favorite parts of what I do, is learning about different cultures and traditions. Yesterday I was lucky enough to photography my first Indian Engagement ceremony. Before the ceremony at the church we met in Folsom for some sunrise portraits with the beautiful couple! I can’t wait to share more of this stunning bride to be and her groom!

A little kiss and some sunshine is all we need to make it into the weekend! I can’t wait for more spring blossom sessions!

Last session of the year!

Can we just acknowledge the sheer happiness these two radiate?!? It is such a privilege to be able to photograph fun adventurous couples as they spend their special day together. That is one of the biggest reasons I love photographing elopements. Seeing my couples spend more time with each other on their day is a special treat for me.

When your friend and photog mentor asks you to photograph her family, your first reaction is pure panic, but then you remember you learned from the best. Thank you @amberlbard for trusting me to do your family photos! #familyphotos #sacramentofamilyphotographer #consumnesriverpreserve #fall #portraitphotography

Being photographed is AWKWARD let’s be honest most people are not super comfortable getting their photo taken. That is why finding the right photographer for YOU is so important. Personally, I enjoy being along for the ride. Your day is about you, I am there to capture all those little moments, emotions, and of course a few poses along the way. What do you think- Are you comfortable getting your photo taken or does it make you nervous?

Some brides ride off on horses, others on motorcycles! What is the craziest / most fun exit you’ve seen or want to do!? #weddingexit #motorcycle #weddingday #bride #groom #adventerous #love #valleyimagesphotography #weddinginspo

The perfect combination of location and time make for some truly magical feeling photos If you could choose one place in the country you would love to have a photoshoot done, where would it be?

Take me back to this shoot! I wanna do another one! Someone hire me for a session out at the Salt flats again.. mmmkay!?! #adventure #adventerouslovestories #destinationweddingphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #bonnevillesaltflats #havecamerawilltravel #travelphotographer #saltlakecityphotographer #utahelopement

California dream’n.. Man do I love California. Born and raised, and for all its faults, and trust me, it has them...and as much as I want to move,...the beach and coast keep drawing me back. You’d think this was some gorgeous foreign place, but in reality.. it’s the Oceanside county building and public library!. #oceanside #photography #cometocalifornia #couplegoals #adventure #adventerouslovestories #destinationphotographer #havecamerawilltravel

Magazine covers, blogs, social media.. it all pales in comparison to repeat clients. There is no higher honor than having the same family come back to you year after year. I have had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous family for four years now! Each year they keep growing and getting more and more beautiful. #family #gorgeous #repeatcustomer #myclientsarethebest #fallfamilyphotos #folsomfamilyphotographer #folsom
