• Happy Easter Sunday everyone! This year, much like last year, our plans consisted of just us celebrating together, watching church online, eating too much junk, and just resting. This year I decided to make homemade cinnamon rolls which were so yummy! We also did resurrection cookies (like every year), but this year Rilynn understood more. 

I think her understand is partially age and partially do to a devotional we did with them daily during Holy Week. It was pretty awesome to hear the kids’ thoughts about each topic through the week, and to see them learn more about Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. I am so grateful I stumbled onto the family devotional. Now to look for a new one to do with them. 

I can’t wait to hear about your plans or traditions. Tell me, friend, what did your Easter plans look like today? Do you have a certain tradition every year? Tell me in the comments.

  • On a scale of 1 to 10, how tired are you after this week? I’d rate myself at an 11. Between losing an hour to the time change, a holiday mid week, and all the normal everyday stuff, I am beat. Anyone else just as tired?

I am so glad it is the weekend and we can take time to relax and reset. Besides photographing our fire department’s promotion ceremony, we will be grabbing our most comfy blankets, slowing down and resting up. I plan on reading, taking in all the snuggles from our littles, maybe a little painting, and just taking it slow. What are your plans this weekend? 

Tell me in the comments how you are slowing down and spending your weekend.

  • Awe! Young love. 💗 A few months ago I took my son and his girlfriend out for photos. We had so much fun! Well, I know his girlfriend and I did. 😂 

I have to admit it was a little different capturing my own kid for a couples portrait 😭. I mean isn’t he still 10?! I am so proud of the man he is becoming and I couldn’t have chosen a better person for him. They are so sweet and perfect together. Be sure to swipe to see just how sweet they are. 🥰

  • Happy π day!

Who else likes π day? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Anyone else eating pie tonight to celebrate? We have a yummy apple pie waiting for us. 

How many numbers of π do you know? I used to know the first 20 digits of π. But now only 11. And it blew Braydon away 🤯 when he asked what π was. 😂 

Today is not only π day but also daylight savings here in CA. Normally the time moving forward makes for an extremely quick end of the weekend. But today has moved at a snails pace. Which I am completely fine with. And it called for a super yummy smelling blend of vanilla and peppermint essential oil in the diffuser. 

Today’s slow pace has given me the chance to spend extra time with God, make a big breakfast for the family, organize the dining room, upload images from yesterday’s session, Sunday plan, watch a movie, experiment on procreate, and spend time with my family. It has been a wonderful Sunday!

How did you spend today? Did you do something fun? Let me know in the comments.

  • Jumping into the weekend like these cuties! 

It has been a long week but I am so excited for family movie night, goodies from @calliessweetshoppe (see story), a maternity session, and 2 more areas of organization in this house. 

These images of this super fun family were from this past fall. I love looking back at past sessions and remembering our time together. So much laughter, a little creative tricks to get a certain little to have fun, and lots of catching up. 

Tell me, what do you have planned for the weekend?

  • Hey there! I’m Ann, and I am a portrait and small business brand photographer based out of Auburn, CA and travel to Palm Desert, CA multiple times a year for photography sessions. I have captured so many special moments since October 2009. 

I am incredibly passionate about capturing moments in time for families to cherish for generations. I believe sessions should be filled with laughter, snuggles, and helping you be you. I am also passionate about helping small businesses put their best face forward with product images that wow, headshots that scream who they are, and brand photos that tell their story. 

My favorite part about what I do is interacting with my clients. Whether that is the time we spend talking during the session, with handwritten notes, or remembering your child’s favorite toy/snack/show to chat with them about. I truly am thankful for the friendships I have gained with my clients. When I’m not working, some of the things I love to do is spend time with my family, go for long walks with @traviskeen.homes, create alcohol ink paintings and fluid art paintings, and just cuddle up on the couch with my kids and watch movies. 

Lastly here is a little random fact about me. I was a dancer for 14+ years and ballet 🩰 was my absolute favorite. I occasionally blow my daughter’s mind 🤯when I show her how to do something in ballet or I am able to do one of the challenge dances on reels. 

Now that you know more about me, I’d love to learn more about you! Comment below with a random fact about yourself!

Thank you @aimeeobrienphotography for my wonderful headshots. :)
