Baby Olivia//
Right before the holidays I had the pleasure of meeting beautiful baby girl, Olivia! She was barely a week old and slept through almost the entire session.
This was a dream session! It took place outside in Auburn, CA in the early afternoon hours. It was a little chilly, but Olivia was bundled up until it was time to snap the picture J
I hope you enjoy a few images from Olivia’s all natural light session!
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing the cutest little newborn baby boy.
This is baby Blane!!
When I was asked to photograph Blane I was so excited! I mean look at those lips, and those huge hands and feet! He was such a cuddle bug who really wanted us to leave him alone! He was so content cuddled up in his mama’s arms.
Once he was settled and asleep, we flew through the poses!
This session took place in the privacy of the clients own home, located in Grass Valley, CA — mid afternoon.
When I first met with Tish & John I could totally sense the love and compassion these two had for each other. The smiles were endless and the laid back personalities were so enjoyable! The way they were talking about their wedding and venue just sounded like an absolute fairy tale.
Tish and John planned a beautiful ranch style wedding at their own horse ranch in Auburn, CA. They expressed that they were more interested in the candid shots as opposed to the planned and posed pictures. When we arrived around 3 in the afternoon, they started with a brunch for their closest friends and family members. It was a catered personal brunch with tons of delicious home-style food.
Following the brunch was the ceremony. Tish made an entrance down the grand staircase and over to her handsome groom, all while having roughly 200 guests there to witness and support.
Don’t let the guest count fool you… This was one of the most intimate and personal weddings I have attended. The love for each other and everyone there was truly endless. I hope you enjoy some of the images from this beautiful ranch style wedding. (This was Bella Rosa’s first time making a video… It turned out beautiful. Videography is soon to come.)

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.

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!
