Every week, The Sacramento Bee’s visual journalists capture the moments — big and small — that tell the story of our community. From moving images in our neighborhoods to the action-packed energy on the sidelines of local sporting events and portraits of area newsmakers, their lenses offer a unique window into life in Sacramento and beyond.
In this weekly feature, we spotlight some of The Bee’s most compelling images from the past week across news, sports and features. This selection of moments were made between Friday, June 5, and Friday, June 12.
