Family Photo Session // UCD Arboretum //

Lee Brown February 22, 2022

I love taking photos of one of my favorite fellow photographers and her sweet boys. Melissa Nelson is one of the very best photographers. Santa Rosa, and beyond, check her out!

This is the casual space where you will see excerpts from recent sessions and snippets of my life with my boys.

When I cancelled all my sessions on the books back in early March, I put my camera bag(s) in our storage closet. I focused on homeschool and hand washing and trying to not put my anxieties on my children. Last week I decided enough is enough, dusted

Imagine having a newborn during a global pandemic. The good news is that as new parents “shelter in place” is kind of the norm, but grandparents can’t come help, and routine dr visits must be so stressful. If you know someone with a

Loving these winter babies. 💕 #leebrownphotos #newbornphotography #sacramentophotographer #lifestylefamilysession

Big siblings are often the star of the newborn family shoot. The baby usually needs a couple breaks and gives the big sibling a chance to get some love. It’s the best. 💕 I’ll include the baby in my next post. 🙃 #leebrownphotos #familyli

But how do you REALLY feel about taking photos?? Turned in paperwork today for this little pistol to start preschool in the fall. So close, yet so far... #leebrownphotos

Kiley and Dave were all about unique SF locations for their engagement session, which was super fun for me. I got to photograph in three new locations and get to know one of my 2020 couples even better. 💕 #leebrownphotos #engagementphotos #sfengagem

Second session of the year! I’m on a roll now guys. This little lady has the most unique nursery I’ve ever seen. It’s “feminist” themed which includes but is not limited to a framed print of the chemical structure of est

Now that January is almost over, I’m going to get back to it! Here are a few faves from my first session of the year with the one and only @szyockey from UCSB! The best part of my job is that I get to reconnect with so many wonderful people fro

As I scrolled through everyone’s beautiful Christmas photos from my sick bed, I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone else’s christmases included missed flight connections, new destination cities, long rental car lines, unexpected two

I’ve been remiss in my sharing, but what else is new?! These are from my last session of 2019. Thank you to all of you who supported me this year. It was the best yet. 💕 Now to the mighty Midwest for the holidays! #leebrownphotos #inhomesessio

A rainy Tuesday wedding!? Yes, please. I met Olivia years ago when she catered a wedding i photographed (ahem @krisbrabec) and when she emailed me this fall regarding availability I thought she meant for a client! I was so excited to find out it was

Today I’m thankful for friends who trust me to photograph their families and for families who trusted me to photograph their families then became friends. Also thankful for a husband who got up early to clean out the gutters so I can edit my li

4 is the new 3! This family oozed love and they were so fun to be with. #leebrownphotos #sacramentophotographer #west12ranch #familyphotos

I don’t want to brag or anything, but this lady right here is one of the bestest and oldest friends of mine. She has lived in the Midwest now longer than she hasn’t, but she is so good at keeping in touch that we still text daily (amirigh

One of the [countless, I’m sure...] perks of being in my family is that you never know when you’ll see the photos I took of you on a family vacation in July. Surprise family! Check thy email! 😂 @ninjamouse @ehchandler #leebrownphotos #am

This family is one of the sweetest out there. I love getting to document them each year. #familyphotography #sacramentophotographer #leebrownphotos
