Milestones

Bumps & Babies, Kids, Families, Graduates, Professional Years, Adults & Anniversaries

I’ve been capturing weddings, family lifestyle photography and casual portraits for more than a couple decades now working primarily in the Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Napa, and San Francisco Bay areas, as well as all along the coastlines around San Diego and Coronado and everywhere in between.

We headed out to Sly Park after the holidays to capture her family while the kids were all in town. Her parents were also visiting so

Martha and Karl – Elope

Karl and Martha eloped over the Christmas holidays at their beautiful riverside home tucked along the North Fork of the Cosumnes River. It was their unofficial 15th anniversary. Choosing to keep things simple and quiet, much like they lead their retired lives, Martha’s sister, Margaret officiated and Bruno, the cherished Lab, was their ring-dog. Did I say retired AND simple and quiet? Hmmm. I first met up with Martha and Karl at their property in advance and we walked around looking at spots they were considering for their ceremony location.
