Northern California Photographer

Lauren and Karl were referred to me by my friend Sharon who was referred to me by my friend Renee. I think Renee found one of my flyers at the winery where she worked at the time. Lauren and Karl seemed to be in the spirit of most of my referrals- happy, loving life and ready for anything. I love that! I had not met them prior to meeting at Baker Beach on a day destined for rain. I said to Lauren in advance of the session, “Are you all still good with the beach if it is raining, or…

Most of the time, I meet all my couples prior to their booking me for their wedding. Because they live in San Francisco, I had not met Melissa and Ryan until we landed in the parking lot at Baker Beach to start their engagement session. It didn’t matter- We all had a great time getting to know each other while taking advantage of the amazing light on the Golden Gate Bridge. My friend and fellow photographer from the city, Amy Carr helped me on this shoot and got a few of her own great images too. Thanks Amy! Melissa and…

This is Karl Quinsland a senior graduating from Oakridge in El Dorado Hills! The day I did his shoot he said there were only 19 days left until he graduated – he said he’d been counting down the days since he entered high school as a freshman lol! It was a beautiful day for taking photos and Karl just happened to live on a freshly blossoming green piece of property. Happy Graduation! oh and Karl … “Yo”

This is Ryan O’Rilley a senior graduating from El Dorado High School this year (woo go Ryan!) We had a fun time on this shoot. We meaning myself, my assistant Cassie, Ryan and his mother Trisa – who told us some pretty great stories about Ryan when he was younger so I could get a real laugh and genuine smile out of him… but we won’t tell those stories for Ryan’s sake! : )
