I am a wife and mother of 5 sweet boys. They are my fulltime commitment. My passion for photography compels me to spend a little time away from home capturing the beauty and love I see in other families. I have pursued photography since I got my first camera at eight years old. I feel so blessed to have opportunities to share my love of photography with others. My desire is to provide everday people with extraordinary portraits at a very reasonable price. Why shouldn't normal families be able to afford great photographs! davencathi@sbcglobal.net or 916.276.5156.

Note: As of January 2010 my prices will change. I will be offering different session/portrait packages for different needs. I will be publishing my price list on my website before the end of 2009. If you have already booked your sitting you will get my current pricing. Please call or email me to schedule your family or individual session.

One funny family of six!

This is one seriously awesome family! I haven't seen them in a while and the kids are all grown up! They have one in college, a junior in High school, a 13 yr. old and a 2 1/2 yr. old! He was a bit of a surprise! Boy is he a cutie though! They all have a great sense of humor which made for a fun shoot.



This picture of them walking together, hand in hand is so precious. The funny part is that while they were walking together they were saying such funny things to each other, it was so funny. It definately got them smiling!
Luckily they are related to the Nash family so we were able to shoot at their property again. Nice connections!


She's back to BYU in a week!
She's starting her Junior year of high school.
I still remember teaching him in primary, now he's 13!!
This little one has already inherited his parents great sense of humor.

I still remember running into these guys in the grocery store. They taught us a fun game.... when you see someone you know in the store, inconspicuously put things in their cart. We had a blast on that grocery shopping trip. We both ended up with some extra Halloween candy and I think we snuck a few "adult hygine" items in their cart.
Man, good times....


This was really fun! This is some true personality coming through here. They were great jumpers! Thanks for letting me hang with you guys! I had a blast!

The new baby sister...

This is my favorite of all the shots I took with this little bunch. Baby sister is clearly so happy to see her beautiful mother's smiling face, there is so much love there!
She had just discovered her hands so she spent most of her time munching on her fists. Every once in a while she'd put it down and I'd get the shot!
She looks like a perfect little princess!
Big brother and big sister were having a hard time sitting still, not weird for a 4 and 2 year old.
They loved showing me their "stinky" feet!
For a few precious moments, they did sit still long enough to show their new baby sister some love.
They both clearly love their new baby sister and were excited to hold her.



Such sweet baby feet!

She is at an age where keeping her feet still were not easy.
This is is she was happiest....with fist in mouth! Still extremely adorable! Thanks mom for letting me get to know your new little one!

Steven & Robin's wedding at the Sacramento Temple

This is truly one of the cutest couples I've ever seen. I'm so glad I was able to be a part of their wedding experience. I thoroughly enjoyed recording some of the memories of the their Temple wedding day.
The Sacramento Temple is really such a beautiful temple to photograph. There were so many areas we were able to use. It was REALLY hot that day, so I tried really hard not to make them stand out in the heat for too long.
Just gorgeous!
They were darling together, sooooo in love. They couldn't keep their hands off each other!!






Congratulations to this beautiful and very blessed couple!



Her dress revealed.....




This sitting was so much fun! It's obvious a lot of that fun had to do with the beautiful bride!
She was such an amazing model, she did everything right. She was such a trooper, she tried all the things we asked her to try. They turned out so great too!
We were lucky enough to get to do the shoot at Dwayne and Jill Nash's property. It was the perfect setting! Thanks Jill for letting us invade!
