This blog…
Technology…
I don’t know which to blame, but maybe I will just blame both. I have been having a very difficult time with my blog in the past few months. I am working on that, but in the mean time it makes posting quite difficult. This is a little test to see if my problems are fixed! A truly yuck part about this is that in the process of fixing these problems, all of my wonderful comments were wiped out. Gone- vanished- lost in the great unknown. I am sorry if you left me some love- I appreciate that more then you know. (So do it again! Let me know you were here!)
…BUT…
We all know a photographer really shouldn’t be posting a blog post without a photograph. So- here’s one. …One of my super adorable wedding couples for this coming summer… Something that is jumping out at me at this very minute just begging to be on the blog!
Enjoy, my friends!

It’s not too late!!! I waited a little too long to get this announcement out, so the prices are AMAZING! And… there is no session fee! Take advantage of my tardiness and let’s go have some fun! Hey- I already bought 30 yummy, sweet and sticky big heart shaped lollipops- they can’t go to waste! (And they certainly can’t stay here!)
Sessions are 25 minutes in length and will be super fun and high energy. We will have plenty of time to get some great portraits for Valentine Portrait Cards. Sessions are for any age, but in order to do the best job we can, can only accommodate 1-2 people per 25 minute session. If you have more people, it’s ok- we will just need to book additional Collections.
Call us today to reserve your session time. Once they are gone, they’re gone! Once you book your session you will be sent all the details to make your portrait day perfect.
Cheers to Love, my friends!

I am not kidding you- I just melt when I see these little babies! I can not get over how adorable they are and how utterly precious….. oh my. This adorable little babe, Miss K, is cuter then cute and I wish I could be snuggling with her right now! How peaceful and tranquil she is.

I have so many wonderful families that come into my path. The E Family is certainly one of them! We went out to Auburn Ravine Park in Lincoln, CA for their portrait session last November. The place is amazing and changes so much through the year. The E Family was able to catch it while it was green and luscious. I have a feeling it is going to become even more green over the next few months! (Then it turns a beautiful golden brown- I love it all year round!)
We all trudged along the winding paths and looked at beautiful trees and other greenery- the boys were loving running through the park and exploring. Boy were they wet when we left! They were treated with hot chocolate after the session and I have to say- Mom, it was a good move! I thank you E Family for spending some time with me. We had a wonderful session and I am so happy to have been a part of your family for a little while.

I am organizing.
I just had to put this photograph of my cousins kayak that she and her father built together. The photograph doesn’t have anything to do (directly) with organizing, other then the fact that I am organizing my personal portraits and photographs. I ignore my personal portraits a little more then I would like. Organizing all together is something I feel I can never keep up with. Once upon a time (previous to babies!) I was one amazing organizer. Now what it comes down to is time and time management. It isn’t that I can’t organize things anymore, it’s that I don’t make it as much of a priority.
This is something I am changing.
In 2009 I had a “resolution” if you want to use that word. (It isn’t one I am particularly fond of.) I did pretty well with focusing on my resolution throughout the year and know it is something I need to keep tabs on through my life. I will. I have no doubt. I will talk more about last year in another blog post. For now, I feel inclined to talk about my 2010 “resolution” – there is that word again. 2010: TIME MANAGEMENT. This is so for a multitude of reasons and they will slowly pour forward through the year.
Right now, I will mention that one factor is the lack of organization to my level of perfection. You see, I am a type A personality and I like to have things *just so*! I am a bit of a perfectionist and rather enjoy that! I am tired of not focusing as much as I would like to on my slightly obsessive compulsive hobby of organizing and I am kicking it up a notch. I love the excitement of it all- what are your New Years Resolutions?

As 2009 has now come to a close I spent the day thinking about the past year as well as 2010 and everything that is in store. I must say, thinking about 2009 I know how blessed I have been. I have good health, a wonderful family and I am in a career that I always longed for. I work with some amazing people and am truly honored to be in the profession that I am in.
There are many changes that have been taking place in Beth Daane Photography and there are many more that will continue to come. As with everything, it will happen over time. Definitely not as fast as I would like. If I had it my way, I would snap my fingers and have all of the changes in place. Reality tells me that there is a priority structure that I need to follow and I do need a couple hours of sleep. (I hate that!)
I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy New Year. You deserve the absolute best and I am so honored to be your photographer and friend. (I also missed wishing everyone a Merry Christmas because I was in Wisconsin- so here is a little bit of a late “Merry Christmas” shout-out!)

You need cookies at Christmas, it’s just a given! I have had some pretty tasty cookies this year, I do have to say. And for the sour milk- no— I haven’t had any. Lucky me. Cheers to yummy Christmas Cookies and delicious milk.

I am a blessed woman. There are so many ways that I have more then anyone could ever imagine or want. The most amazing husband, two babes that completely rock my world, family that loves me unconditionally and supports me more then I could ever ask and a business doing what I love most.
I am thankful beyond words.
I would like to pass along a sign of thanks to you, so we will be running a Black Friday Special. (Because I LOVE Black Friday!) I will be offering all sessions at $29 rather then the normal $129 and $100 Gift Certificates for $75. I know it’s crazy, but it’s a way that I can tell you thank you for all you mean to me as well as support my fellow Black Friday Shoppers! The sale will run only until sometime Friday- a doorbuster of sorts… Until I get home from shopping. (Well- honestly I come in and out all day, but the sale will run until I come home for the last time and kick up my feet from a long day of shopping.)
All you need to do is go to the Beth Daane Photogaphy: Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln California Wedding and Portrait Photographer page where you click on the portrait, then again and you will be given an option to choose the session or gift certificates. The quantity for each is unlimited, and the ordering is super easy. Go to town- tell your friends and family and let’s do this!

I was so blessed to have been asked to photograph this adorable little newborn babe. I flew out to Orlando, FL then took a short drive about an hour away to Melbourne, FL to photograph sweet little Kendall. She is one of the sweetest little babies I have ever held in my arms and so very tiny! We had an absolutely wonderful time and so much fun with the new baby props that I have incorporated into the Beth Daane Photography Newborn Sessions. This is just a quick little teaser until I get home and am able to spend the proper amount of time on the sessions that I did in Florida, so I hope you enjoy this one and keep checking back for more to come.

A new birth is an amazing gift. Documentation of life is so important and I am so happy to be a part of helping that happen. Recently I was invited into the home of this beautiful family to photograph their new family of four. You may remember the maternity session that we did together? We were able to focus some special time together in such a special way. There is so much love, laughter and faith in this family that it is almost unreal. I feel a beautiful vibe whenever I am around them and instantaneously become a better person when we are near. This is so apparent in their family portraits. Their smiles are contagious and their faith is authentic. thank yo so much for welcoming me into your world. Please enjoy your portraits!
blessings,
beth
