Hello, friends! It’s not technically summer yet, but in California, the summer will hit faster than you think. In fact, I’m already seeing some pretty warm temperatures forecasted for this week, which means sundresses and shorts for Sacramento.

You might not be thinking about this with all that’s going on, but eventually restrictions will lift and, once again, we’ll be outside, taking beautiful pictures. So why not be prepared and give yourself something to look forward to? Or even if you’re just hanging out with your family in the backyard, it would be fun to get a little dressed up for BBQ night.

The best part is you can use your new clothes for your next portrait photography session with me later in the year (wink)!

It’s more important than ever to shop local, and here are a few beautiful local clothing boutiques in Sacramento for picture-perfect clothes you can purchase online:
