TIMING IS EVERYTHING // NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER // GRANITE BAY, CA

Earlier last week I had the pleasure to meet and photograph this new little bundle of joy, Pyper! This was a touching story, I hope you enjoy a little insight :]

Pyper was brought into this world by her mother, Marcie, and her father, Omba. Marcie was due around the same time as Kim Kardashian and  Kate Middleton. Kim Kardashian had North very early, and Kate Middleton was a little over a week late. Marcie was ready to have Pyper, but Pyper was not ready quite yet!

Marcie went to the doctors for a follow up and to set a plan of action. The plan was to induce later that week if Pyper hadn’t made her grand entrance yet. Marcie lost her older sister several years ago. It has been a very emotional rollercoaster for the entire family. They are the most kind hearted and loving family with such a remarkable bond.

Marcie went into labor naturally and delivered Pyper on the same day that her sister passed many years before. It was the most beautiful story to hear because Pypers’ middle name was that of her passed auntie.

This photo shoot took place in Granite Bay, CA in the mid-morning hours.

NOTHING MORE SINCERE THAN A MILITARY LOVE // NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER // AUBURN, CA

I recently held a contest on Instagram (@BellaRosaPhotography)  for all of my followers; Jessica and John were the lucky winners!! The timing could not have been any more perfect. John is part of the United States Marine Corps and was scheduled to come home for two weeks right as the contest was ending!

This session was absolutely beautiful, you could feel the love between them. The poses just flew so naturally, from one to another. I was so thrilled to photograph a man in uniform, this was a first for me! I LOVED it!  For the remainder of August, I will be giving 20% off print packages for all US military members and veterans, thank you for all that you do for this country!

This photo shoot took place in Auburn, CA in the early morning hours.
