Thanks for stopping by. Check in every so often to see recent photography sessions, weddings, and family fun. I also post little tidbits about my life and work so you can get to know me a little better. Take a peek, enjoy, and let me know what you think!
I met Cherise and Chris in Redwood City for their session. Cherise, a hairstylist, and Chris, who works at REI, are such a fun and vibrant couple. We ended up having a blast at the playground where they got engaged and getting some great images that really show off how fun they are. After the park we decided to grab some of that fantastic evening light over at the shoreline. I look forward to Cherise and Chris’ wedding at the Laurel Mill Lodge in Los Gatos next month! I love that they are having a camping wedding and that I get the opportunity to capture all of their friends and family celebrating their love with them for 3 days! Thanks Cherise and Chris for being so fun to work with!

My friend Judy, from David Girard asked me to come on out and shoot their annual Grape Stomp for their wine club members,
so Ember and I made a day of it. Here she is with her camera ready to shoot some photographs…
Not sure why I did not include the pocket book(fashion statement)…it was very sparkly!
Ember had a blast getting to stomp the grapes.
Serious business!
Gotta have a kid stomp!
And what would a grape stomp be without a costume contest?
Judy with the winners of the costume contest- pretty awesome, huh?
It is fun to experience a location that I do a lot of weddings at in a whole new way. Thanks Judy for having us come out!

Sara- No grape stomping for mom- I was on “official duty”…
But it looked like fun!

Ember is so cute in her little ‘all black’ outfit, just like her mom, with her camera! How fun! Did you get in there and stomp some grapes????

I had a chance to support the Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp this year by setting up a photo booth for their 8th annual fundraiser at Smith Flat House in Placerville last weekend. This year also marked the 50th anniversary of Sugarloaf. Sugarloaf is a summer fine arts camp in Pollock Pines that provides classes for 6th grade through high school students in Concert Bands, Visual Arts, Theater Arts, Creative Arts, Photography, and Jazz Bands to name a few. The fundraiser helped to provide scholarships for students who might not otherwise be able to attend. Attendees to the fundraiser had the chance to participate themselves in a few creative classes including: salsa dancing, crafts, improv, and even a flower arranging class taught by my friend Dottie from Camino Flower Shop who introduced me to Sugarloaf. I’ve been curious about this camp ever since I moved to the area back in 2000, and it seems that all of my most creative friends and colleagues are involved with it in one way or another. Only a few more years and Jaz and Ember can join in the fun! The fabulous Andrew Heringer Band closed the night in the round, campfire style. Be sure to check out their CD release party on September 4. These are some of the photos from the classes and from the photo booth I set up. Hope you enjoy, and we’d love to see you there next year! Thanks Paul, Erin and Nina and all those volunteers who not only made the event a great success but also a whole lot of fun! More Sugarloaf photos here!
Drama class…students asked to act sick…./ and then to create an airplane without communicating
…love the propeller in the front!
“Drama mama” and a water color student…
Well, Jeff and I had to test the booth first, right?
Nina and Steven- I am excited to shoot their April wedding at the Flower Farm
This lady has some improv chops! And of course, Paul, enjoying a glass of wine…

Lisa,
It was such a special treat to have you there. Having you join the Sugarloaf family makes perfect sense to me!

Sue and I used to exercise together with a bunch of other gals several(ok, a few more than several) years ago. I was thrilled when she called wanting to capture some photographs of her with her absolutely precious grand children, Kylie, Alyssa and Sarah. They were excited to be sharing this memory with Grammy! Enjoy this blog teaser, the rest of the images will be online shortly!

Love all of them, I really like the one with me and the girls laughing, very natural
When you called me earlier this year to cancel your wedding, I tried to comfort you by letting you know that “you have all the time in the world to get married”. I had no idea that this was not true. Rest in peace Amy. We will all miss your free spirit and beautiful smile.
