Sacramento Maternity Photography – Erica & Family

by Doug Miranda on June 29, 2011

Erica is a close friend of Christine’s and they have know each other since they were little girls.  I photographed her wedding almost two years ago and recently she asked me to take some maternity photos of her and her family. Back in early June we went up to Garcia Bend on the Sacramento River for the session. The light was just amazing and they hammed it up in front of the camera for some pretty cool shots. Since then Erica gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Paige.

Congratulations you guys!!!

Luke at 4 months

by Doug Miranda on June 27, 2011

As I write this Luke is already 4 1/2 months old, by how time flies. Where to begin, it seems like Luke is doing something new every other day now. From almost rolling over to grabing things and holding them in his hands on his own. He just reached the stage  where he has to put everything in his mouth and I don’t think that’s going to stop anytime soon. He loves to be outdoors, we just think he’s sick of looking at the same stuff in our house, so he loves it every time he’s out of it. So far he’s been to the zoo, gone camping in the Gold Country and went on a wonderful car ride from Sacramento to L.A. :-( It’s still so amazing to wake up everyday and see him grow right in front of our eyes.

Oakland LDS Temple Wedding – Kelly & Jacob

by Doug Miranda on June 24, 2011

I photographed Kelly and Jacob’s wedding at the Oakland LDS Temple in early June. Just a month earlier I photographed Jacob’s cousin’s wedding, so it was nice to see so many familiar faces. When I drove to the temple that day is was raining super hard, which had me thinking I was going to be shooting indoors all day. But luckily 20 minutes after Kelly and Jacob walked out the temple the rain lightened up and then stop for about 25minutes. I took as many photos as I could in that short amount of time and then the sky’s opened up again and rained pretty much all day long.

On Memorial Day weekend I photographed Jessica and Mike’s Citizen Hotel and Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament wedding. Jessica and Mike’s ceremony at the Cathedral was soooo beautiful!! It reminded me of one of the many churches I visited last summer in Italy. Then right after the ceremony, it started to rain off and on and then it started to pour as we got back to the Citizen Hotel. We didn’t let the rain get us down and had some fun taking photos inside the hotel. After some dinner and dancing, the rain clouds went away and we had an amazing sunset portrait session on their suites balcony!! Such a great end to a wonderful wedding day.

And a big thanks to Wendy Hithe for shooting with me all day long!!
