Meet the Photographer

Hello I'm Cherie

Im thrilled to have you here. As a wife and mother of two wonderful girls, family means the world to me.

📷 Based in beautiful California, specifically the Sacramento area, I have a passion for photography that began with a DIY spirit and a desire to make family portraits more affordable. After countless attempts to take our own family photos with just my camera and a tripod, I realized how challenging—and stressful—it can be to capture those perfect moments while running back and forth for the right angle.

Let me take the stress out of your photography experience! And capture your families, true love and laughter from behind the lens.

What inspired me to start Love and Laughter Lens? What is my why? 

My mom is my why she has always been an incredible person. I affectionately call her the “walking circus” because of the endless energy and whimsical playtime she shares with my children. On September 4th, out of the blue she suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm followed by a severe stroke, and she is still in the ICU. The thought of her not being there for my kids is unimaginable, and it’s made me realize how important it is to capture these precious moments. I wish I had more photographs of them together, as those images are priceless. This experience has reignited my passion for photography, and I am dedicated to helping families preserve their cherished memories.

How do I ensure each client's unique story is captured?

At Love and Laughter Lens, I understand that every individual, family, and event is different. That's why I take a customized approach to each photo session, ensuring that your unique story is authentically captured. Whether it's the mischievous grin of a child or the loving gaze between partners, I focus on creating a fun and personalized experience that brings out the real moments and genuine smiles.
