Katherine Vess is a portrait photographer in Sacramento specializing in maternity and newborn photography. Like a lot of photographers, she’s been fascinated by the art since she was a child, viewing it as having the power to freeze time and trigger memories that might otherwise be forgotten. It’s in the same way that smelling a particular spice can transport you back to your grandmother’s kitchen.
She’s long been considered one of the premier Sacramento family photographers and loves to spread joy one photoshoot at a time.
The talented editorial family photographers behind Milou and Olin Photography take some of the most evocative, humorous, and precious family photographs around. Though their style is edgy and somewhat experimental, the result — in their family photography at least — is just this tremendous sense of honesty. If you love to laugh and want to work with photographers you can share a fun afternoon with, check out Milou and Olin.
They also offer boudoir photography, as well as pet photography.
A portrait photographer who takes cinematic, impeccably balanced family portraits, Jill Carmel is one of the most talented Sacramento family photographers we’ve seen. Her photos are extremely organic, with very few tricks of post-production and color manipulation.
Jill allows the uniqueness of the moments that she captures to do the emotional work of her photos. She possesses a special skill to put families at ease, allowing everyone to just be themselves.
Detail-oriented, highly disciplined, and with an open and generous heart, Lisa Smiley is a passionate storytelling photographer. She loves that she gets to be included in the lives of families who are marking their most important milestones, and she takes that responsibility very seriously.
With every job, Lisa taps into her countless hours of experience to create some of the most perfectly composed family photos of anyone around.
Jessica Giblin is a photographer dedicated to the fundamentals. She still loves composing with light, color, and clear emotions. Best of all, she often still gets the same rush that she got when she first started photographing.
Jessica knows that the best photos are often the simplest and purest, as these are the photos that build the most immediate connections. And that’s what she’s after. We’re not saying that she’s not out to make art — because she absolutely is — but her first desire is to capture something that makes you take a sharp intake of breath.
