WALL ART

Designing a gallery wall can feel overwhelming. I’m here to simplify the process and create a beautiful display you’ll love for years.

Our albums are crafted with timeless design and premium materials – linen, leather, or suede— and thick archival pages built to last.

PRINTS

Clients who purchase digital collections receive a complimentary keepsake glass box filled with prints from their session.

Heirloom Photography Investment

As a luxury portrait photographer serving Sacramento and Roseville families, I focus on more than digital files. I design custom albums, framed fine art prints, and cohesive wall galleries that reflect your home and story.


This is an investment in heirloom artwork, pieces your children and grandchildren will hold and pass down.

BEHIND THE LENS

Hello, I’m Jeanie, a Sacramento newborn photographer based in Roseville who believes that memory alone can’t hold every beautiful detail of the life you’re living right now.

Photographs have a way of bringing me back. I can smell my newborn’s sweet skin. I hear my Nana’s laugh. I see my grown sister in my daughter’s face. These images don’t just remind me of moments—they let me feel them all over again. That’s why I became a newborn and family photographer in Sacramento.

As a Sacramento newborn photographer, my approach is soft, minimalistic, and deeply intentional. I’m not chasing trends or creating something overly styled. Instead, I focus on what matters most—your baby’s natural beauty, the tender connections between you, and the quiet, fleeting moments that define this season of your life.

my style & philosophy

My approach is soft, minimalistic, and deeply intentional.


I believe in a full-service photography experience that takes the stress out of your hands. From thoughtfully planning your newborn session to selecting wardrobe pieces from my curated Roseville studio closet, to professional hair and makeup services, I handle the details so you can simply be present with your family.


My greatest joy? Walking into a client’s home throughout Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, and El Dorado Hills and seeing their portraits displayed—not tucked away on a hard drive, but living on their walls, passed down through generations, cherished as the heirlooms they were always meant to be.

Milestone Session Sweet Jean Photography

Brandy

precious milestones

My daughter and I had the best experience working with Sweet Jean! The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. She captured absolute magic when photographing my daughter’s milestone photos. I will continue to go back to her for years to come. 10/10 would recommend this business. Communication was fantastic; scheduling was easy; wardrobe options were selected for us (no pressure for me, yay); the studio was cozy/beautiful/welcoming, and Jeanie was so kind and amazing at what she does. You’ll never regret spending your money here. Memories I will cherish forever.

journey of love

I cannot recommend Jeanie and her beautiful photography more. Our home is covered in her incredible photos. She is professional, kind, and thoughtful. She knows how to capture the beauty in the little things. Her photos are never gimmicky or over-edited. She has a true gift, and I am so blessed to have her document our family in all of its life stages. She is the one I trust to capture the “once in a lifetime” moments. Look no further; she is the best!
