My best buds and neighbors had a baby… and did me the honor of allowing me to capture some memories. Love this crew of 4 and can’t wait for their return to AZ. 🤍🌵

One last Christmas session for this year. I’d loooove to do more next year! We found the coolest spot for photos, with water (in AZ 😱). Isn’t this family just wow!?

Merry Christmas from this retired photographer, who’s dreaming of coming out of retirement next year. 🤪

My single-mom-bestie… she’s an inspiration, the greatest mama and these photos are on the land she’ll be building a home from the ground up all on her own 💪🏼. Love this family so, so much… can’t wait to achieve our goals side-by-side and raise our crazies together. 🤍

It’s been a few years… but I miss it! When one of my teacher-besties asked me to take her family photos, I jumped at the chance. I love this family and it relit that fire in me to continue to dabble in my passion, photography. What joy it brings to be able to capture love, happiness and family in stills. This family has it all.

Add the extra challenge of a mid-day photoshoot and I’d say we made some photo magic. Love you, Billans!

Happy Holidays from Mandy Jester Photography… don’t count me out. 😏

*** Baby Bunfill ***

How beautiful is this fantastic family? They just added their second baby and he is just a gem. He may not love his tummy time, but we got every other beautiful shot and so many perfect smiles. He is such a handsome guy and I am so happy for this family. Happy Sneak Peek!

*** Tahleah 6 Month ***

Feels like just yesterday I was taking this sweet girls newborn photos and look at her now, so big and sitting up. Sitter sessions aren't as popular as the newborn or one-year-cake-smash sessions, but I know any parent who signs up for them does not regret it... I mean, who wouldn't want to frame a bunch of large prints of this darling time in Miss Tahleah's life. She is just a doll!

*** Daley Maternity ***

Happy Fourth of July! What better way to celebrate then a sneak peek of a family bringing another great American into the bunch. Just about a year ago I had the pleasure of taking this family of three's holiday photos and it gives me so much joy to watch their family expand and capture memories before they are a family of four. They are something special and baby boy is a lucky guy.

*** Lombardo Family ***

Okay, sunflowers, I see you! 🌻 Can you even believe this beauty -- if you are local to Yolo County just drive down our backroad streets and the whole country side is lit up with yellow... I can think of few better backdrops than a sunset and a sunflower field.

Add in a family with this much goodness coming their way and we have photoshoot perfection! The Lombardos are celebrating an upcoming wedding and a baby on the way... can you imagine so much excitement in the near future. It was a complete pleasure to capture this beautiful moment in their lives as they anxiously await the year ahead. I can't wait to edit the rest!

*** Jepson Family ***

Wow! Just wow! You wonder why people flock to California and this view is exactly the reason... This location is the DREAM of every photographer... rolling hills, crystal lake and a beautiful family to boot. I was in heaven shooting this darling, full-of-life family at Lake Berryessa this past week. Everything about the shoot was fun -- including an awesome (bumpy) golf cart ride down to this beach spot. I feel so lucky to have been able to shoot in such a beautiful state this past year and that I lived just an hour from a spot as gorgeous as this. Truly a dream.

I hope you LOVE these sneak peek photos from the photo session you have been patiently waiting for, Jepson family! Your family's warmth can be felt even though the screen.

*** Phillip One Year ***

He's almost ONE and cuter then ever! I met this little guy during Santa photos and I've been looking forward to seeing him again for his cake smash. He was just a blast to be with... Big blueberry guy -- thank goodness mom knew and made him a blueberry cake (mom win!). Such a sweetie and I'm so glad to have been his one-year photographer.

*** Eleanor Newborn ***

“I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.” – Vincent Van Gogh

What a doll. Sweet Eleanor was so fun to photograph. She made me work for those perfect shots, but we got them all! Babies don't keep and I love that I get to be part of preserving these lovely newborn moments while they are here.

*** Carter One Year ***

Carter is proof that if you give a kid a balloon smiles will ensue! Carter started his session a little timid, but it didn't take long for him to light up and be a little photo rock star!

I am so excited to finish up this album and give Carter a gallery of photos to cherish for years to come.

*** Price Maternity ***

"A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one can take."
- Cardinal Merrmillod

I've learned a lot about motherhood in the last few month (who knew you would continue to learn even 8 years into the gig). I've learned about the undying love a mother has for her kids - how it increases, not decreases, during times of change. I've learned about how much moms mean to their kids, especially when life takes twists and turns, as it always does.

Moms are all so lovely, each and every one of them - something about that maternal nature that exudes beauty. This mom in particular glows as she awaits her coming babe. It was a blast doing a mommy and me maternity - what precious memories for these three. I can't wait to meet baby any day now!

*** Annie Newborn ***

Bright eyed and bushy tailed. Annie didn't want to sleep much, but when we got her to shut her beautiful eyes we were able to get all the shots mama was dreaming of.

Whimsical and sweet, it was fun to do a few poses and ideas that I hadn't tried yet. Thank you Annie for being adorable and such a wonderful model. I hope your family treasures these photos for years to come!

*** Harmony Newborn ***
How perfect is this newborn? She is just sugar and delight and I loved my time with her this past week. I fell in love with her delightful parents during their maternity shoot and welcoming her with her first modeling shoot was just perfect.

Sweet Harmony was the perfect subject for this photoshoot - sleepy and flexible. Easy to photograph. I am so happy to present such a wonderful gallery to her special parents.

*** James Family ***

It's always so fun and special to do extended family sessions. To watch the beautiful dynamic of togetherness that a large family brings. This family is such a delight... I've been able to meet a few of them in different sessions, but to see them all together was so fantastic.

I hope this time in your life is commemorated in these special photos -- kids grow fast and photos last forever. Such a special family.
