Maggie has been a fixture at KLJ Studios for the last year or so. She was part of our special senior student program and during that time, I also had the pleasure of getting to know her mom, Michele. Well, guess what, mom! Maggie did it!
Maggie is graduating from Pioneer High School soon and will be going to UC Davis to major in Communications. She has opted to live in the dorms so hopefully we will still get to see her once in a while during her visits to Woodland.
Maggie and Michele are two of the nicest people you would ever want to meet so I wish them double the excitement, fun, and good things that happen the first year of college. To Maggie, for being the student and to Michele, for being a great mom!

Tennis playing, shoe loving, oboe perfectionist, and pep band member Cristina is obviously very busy. But she still found the time to study and graduate!
I am so happy Cristina chose KLJ Studios for her senior portraits because it was such a pleasure to meet and photograph this extraordinary young woman.

It is obvious that the camera loves Cristina and these images are proof. She exudes a calm and lovely confidence in life and it shows.
Cristina, you will be doing great things in the future. Work hard, be yourself, and don't forget to have fun, too!

This family has so much to celebrate! Son Guy and daughter Breanna are both graduating so congratulations to both of them! The family took this opportunity to have senior portraits taken for both graduates. Little daughter Adeline (Addy) also snuck into some photos because she has never had professional portraits taken.
Not only are Guy and Breanna fantastic, natural models, but they are also two of the best big siblings I have ever seen. They had no problem sharing the spotlight with little sis and Addy loved the attention. These are genuinely sweet kids.
Making it through high school is one of the first major goalposts in life and you guys did it! You both have such talent and intelligence and I know you will go on to do great things in life.
Best wishes always to this awesome family!

Rolando and Jennifer had a very happy event to celebrate, daughter Alexa's and son Jacvob's First Communion! This was such a special occasion that the whole family decided to have special phots taken at historic Oakdale Ranch.
The kids are almost exactly two years apart and get along really well for siblings. Alexa has a knack for posing, coming up with most of her own poses and doing a great job. There were smiles all around as the family celebrated this big step for Alexa.
Congratulations to Alexa on such a happy occasion!

KLJ Studios will now be offering Life Style sessions. This type of photography is more of a photojournalism style where the images are shot spontaneously. The photographer will come to your home, or family event, and spend up to 2 1/2 hours taking candid shots as you go about your day. Our newest addition to the KLJ family, Bethany, will be our lead Life Style photographer.
Thank you to Suzanne and Robbie for allowing us into their home for this inaugural session. They are both teachers, and have passed their love of music down to their two children, Frances and Theo. Robbie also performs with The Bottom Dwellers, a self-described "honky tonk, twang, and country rock" band. Of course, we had to get some images of the family singing and playing music, and we think Frances may be the new Adele. She has a beautiful voice and can really belt it out like a pro.
Suzanne loves having one boy and one girl because then each of them can be her favorite boy or girl. And, as you can see, Frances loves to cook, though Theo helps out when it comes to yummy frosting. (Licking the spoon, maybe?) With this talented family, it's not a surprise that several of them perform regularly at the Woodland Opera House.
It was such fun getting to hang out this family for the morning!
It you would like to learn more about participating in a Life Style session, call or email us at 530.723.5332 or [email protected].

There is a point in our lives when we absolutely know who we are and want to celebrate that fact. Or we are starting a new business or a new endeavor. One way to show commitment to any of these ideals is to have a personal branding session and showcase "you" in images.
Nancy is a vivacious, gorgeous lady who has accomplished much already and wanted to be able to remember this best time of her life. She has a twinkle in her eye and a mischievous smile and you just know that this is very cool person.
Nancy opted to do both a more formal shoot in the studio and a more playful location shoot at the Davis Arboretum. She loves to dance and had fun showing off her skills among the trees with a beautiful sunset behind her.
Nancy, you have succeeded in so much and it shows in your confidence. Keep it up! I wish you the best in the future, you deserve everything good to happen to you!

I was lucky to have Kailee as one of my models for our future Film Noir event. This time I was also lucky to have her sister Stella, plus mom and dad (Bianca and Ray). What a fun group they are!
Bianca is a Lularoe consultant and all the ladies were wearing Lularoe. Ray is delighted to be the dad to these two little beauties and it shows with his smile.

These are two little girls with two big personalities. I think I need to call Stella for my next promo shoot, don't you agree?
You guys continue to have fun with each other. I hope you all have a great summer!

When I say Heather was one of the most beautiful brides I have had the pleasure of photographing, I may be a little biased. I have known Heather since junior high and know full well what a lovely, sweet, and intelligent woman she is. I am so proud of her as she graduates law school and begins her life as a lawyer and as a wife.
Heather and Zeb met in a parking lot on a fun night out with a group of friends aiding the introduction while they were both still in law school. They have both finished now and ready to take on the world together. And I think they will accomplish great things. As a long time friend of Heather's I fully approve of this nice gentleman that she found.
They were married at the State Capitol and during the engagement photos we fought for an uncluttered background as local high school winter formals were the same day and dozens of couples were there for their photos.
So, of course, Prom turns out to be the same day as the wedding! Once again, we were fighting for the perfect background. But, no worries! We made it work and got some fantastic shots of the two of them.
You guys are great! You have a fabulous connection and I thank you for allowing me to play a part in this lovely and important occasion.

What could be better than seeing Kendra, one of my favorite models from the Babes and Blossoms fundraising promo session, who was the perfect forget-me-not?
Meeting her two sisters, Anika andTamar!
Meeting her two sisters, Anika andTamar!
At first, Tamar was not into doing portraits at all, she didn't even want us to fix her hair or get dressed up. But after she put on one of our dresses and got in front the camera, the natural model came out. Kendra and Anika were all about the camera and the resulting images look as if I had professional models on the scene.
I could photos of these three lovely young women all day. I know they will go on in life and do everything they want to do and will be great successes. Thank you, girls!
