  • Wishing everyone a happy and safe New Years Eve! (This was a photo from last year’s fireworks celebration in downtown Sacramento.) Keeping it low-key this year and staying in! 😏 What are you doing for New Years?

  • This was the perfectly imperfect Christmas Day self portrait I had to have, after opening presents and eating dinner with the family. 
Ryder is never allowed in the living room because there is too much breakable stuff to get into. So letting him in there was a big treat! But.... it also caused a MASSIVE meltdown just after this photo was taken! He wanted to stay and play with everything he wasn't supposed to and the adults told him no. 
We tried everything to soothe him without giving in to letting him back into the living room. It was almost bedtime and we just had to make it until then. It finally happened, he calmed down enough to get him off to bed. Man, toddlers are tough! He sure is cute though! 😏🥰 Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas! ☃️🎄🎅 #MerryChristmas #Christmas #HappyHolidays #MatchingPajamas #SelfPortrait #ksmithphotography

  • Been feeling a little under the weather this week, and didn’t exactly share a traditional thanksgiving with the family this year. We had gone out to eat on thanksgiving day, then on Saturday my incredible husband made an entire turkey dinner for my parents and my brother pretty much all by himself!
.
Even though the weekend is coming to a close, I had to take a moment and share how incredibly thankful I am to have these amazing photos of my little family! (Thank you so much, Alicia, for capturing these beautiful moments for us!) It’s so difficult to be in front of the camera when you spend your life behind it. It’s actually pretty uncomfortable for me to be in photos anymore. However, I know how important it is to have these memories for my son to look back on. Zach’s father passed away when he was still a child. After the Butte Fire took Zach’s mom’s house in 2015, all we have left of my husband’s late father are the photos.
.
Life is short. There are no guarantees that we will make it to tomorrow. So be in the photos. Don’t wait to have your hair done. Don’t wait to find the perfect outfit. Don’t wait to lose that little extra weight. Be in the photo. No matter what!

  • My veterans. ❤️ .
My grandfather was Chief Master Sargent in the Air Force, and received a bronze star in the Korean War. He taught me the importance of staying true to what it means to be me, and pushed me towards becoming a photographer. He told me that although I may not make a whole bunch of money, I should give it a try because that is what makes me happy. He told me that life is about choices, and happiness should always be towards the top of that list.
.
When he passed away, I knew I had to remember what he taught me for the rest of my life. Ten years ago, I got a bronze star tattooed on my leg to remind me to always stay true to myself. On my wedding day, I wore his bronze star so he could be close to my heart.

#Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the #UnitedStates where men were free. -#RonaldReagan, 1961 .

  • Halloween at Disneyland is one of my all time favorite places to be! We took the boy there for the first time two weeks ago, and he loved it! After daddy took the baby back to the hotel room one night, I stayed after to take some night time photos at the park. Did you know that the park is transformed for Halloween in a single night? This giant pumpkin, weighing 3,400 pounds, is the most instagrammed place during the Halloween season, and one of my favorite photos to snag at night. Hope you all had an awesome Halloween! -

  • “A photographer’s job on wedding days requires more than just taking photos. We are dress fluffers, sweat blotters, boutonnière pinners, dress bustlers, emotional cheerleaders, time keepers, hair checkers...and I wouldn’t change a damn thing. Love this job!” •
