Boeger Winery Photographer

Capturing the height of fall with the McCann family at the beautiful Boeger Winery, we were so glad that we also hit a beautiful, sunny day!  It is especially hard for parents of this age group to get it all together, cleaned, ward-robed and to the shoot on time, that I commend Reiko for booking early and giving herself plenty of time to find some cute clothing. As it sometimes goes with these sessions, especially the ones you plan way ahead for:) Hailee fell on the playground a few days before our shoot and scraped up her face so we…

After many session reschedules(and I know how hard it can be to get so many family members, going in so many different directions, together), we finally arrived at our session last week at Boeger Winery on a beautiful fall day. I applaud John for his diligence in making it work. Time slips away so fast. There were no Japanese maples in bloom as they were at the Kessler home earlier in the year but plenty of color from the vines. Several years back I photographed Andrew’s senior photographs and now he is continuing his studies at UC Davis. Add a…

Friendly, smart, personable…another wonderful afternoon with a graduating El Dorado High School Senior-Dakota Keeton, Class of 2013. Dakota enjoys water polo and with a little prompting, he humbly told me about the several colleges he was applying to. He also expressed interest in traveling and living abroad after college, perhaps Chile in South America. We spent the last part of the session shooting in the sprinkler system facing the sunset. He commented that he wasn’t really getting that wet.  My gear and I on the other hand, were drenched!  I came home and let my gear dry out again, ready…

Taking advantage of this yo yo-ing weather, I headed out to Boeger Winery with my friend Summer and her family. I think it may have even snowed the day before and perhaps even the day after. But this was a beautiful fall day(other than the growth cycle at Boeger was clearly in winter mode). I had a great time as the Mulhollen family likes to have fun and if you know them, you know what I mean. With young kids, I like to keep my sessions moving from location to location to help keep expressions natural and fresh. I love…

Ahhh, lil’ Miss Allison brought along her awesome butterfly guitar to use for the shoot, and she even played us a few chords for us. The fall colors of the vineyard looked beautiful with the yellow dress that her mother brought along for her. Love a little girl, full of life, personality and music! The Keller family was the winner of the photo session gift certificate I donated for the Boatman Family community fundraiser we had up here last month. Your entire gallery will be posted tomorrow!!

I met Amy and Ryan as they were on their way back from a weekend trip to Tahoe. They had just dropped the kids off for pizza, and managed to get away for a bit to celebrate just the two of them. Neither one had a problem being in front of the camera. I loved how playful they were, giving piggy-back rides, jumping, and making faces at each other. At the end of the session we headed in to the wine tasting room at Boeger Winery for a bit of wine for ourselves. Thank you Amy and Ryan, looking forward…

Jessica flew in from Colorado to celebrate her mother’s 60th birthday with her sister. Everyone thought it was an excellent time for a family session with mom and her two girls. It was a misty and rainy day but we managed to find a break in the weather. I imagine all of them are still cleaning mud off their heels! Looks like you all had a fun day and how great to have photographs to remember it by! Thank you all and thanks to Lori Warden for assisting me on this shoot! Your entire gallery will be up in another…

I first met Alex last year when he came along with his friend Miranda for her senior session. This year it was time for Alex’s senior session and he wanted to bring his parents along for the day (there’s something you just have to love about a teenager who’s willing to hang out with his parents for a bit). They seem to have a great relationship and as a parent, it is very nice to experience! Boeger is at its best this time of year and we all took in the fabulous fall colors! Congratulations Alex!
