This session popped up as a memory from 5 years ago. Sometimes looking at past sessions I tend to pick them apart a little. I would do this different or that…. Not this session. This session has always been a favorite. A dreamy October evening warm enough to get in the water, no one around, that beautiful sunset glow wrapping around a beautiful expecting mama…. Yeah. This session is just fine as is.

Don’t blink! That newborn baby is growing so fast. He’s sitting up, maybe starting to crawl… that personality is developing more and more each day. Pretty soon they will be pulling themselves up on furniture and before you know it, they are walking.
Freezing this sitter milestone is so important. If for any other reason than to document those chunky thighs before they thin out from walking 🤣
Sitter sessions with Katherine Vess Photography are held in my Shingle Springs studio when baby is about 6-7 months old.
Reach out through my website for more information (linked in my bio).

Maternity sessions are done at Katherine Vess Photography around 28-34 weeks when possible. If you are expecting and interested in a session at my Shingle Springs studio just 30 minutes east Sacramento. I have a handful of session experiences to choose from!

POV: You chose a trending audio… and now you’re in a toxic relationship with it. 🎵

No one talks about the hardest part of making a Reel…

Listening to the same seven seconds of a song 847 times while you move one clip half a second to the left. 😂

By the time the Reel is finished, the transitions are perfect—and the song is permanently ruined.

Photographers, can you relate? 🙋‍♀️ Tell me which song Instagram has made you never want to hear again!

As a photographer- I love when a baby will do arms up cus that means they are rela######xxed 😴

Newborn photography sessions are held in my studio in shingle Springs California when babies are around 10 to 18 days old. It’s best to book when you’re in your second trimester to secure a spot on my calendar around your due date. Interested in a session?

It was so hard keeping it together 🤣🤣🤣

I secretly filmed some photographer friends during an outdoor maternity shootout with my favorite Snapchat filter on. I think everyone was so distracted by the humongous mosquitoes swarming us that they didn’t pick up on me laughing while her answering the question. Lol.

I think I might have peed a little watching this video over and over again 😂🤣😂

Tell me in the comments- what do you like about outdoor sessions? Hehe
