Keith and Tiffany are expecting a baby and I know they are going to be fantastic parents. I first met Keith and Tiffany when they asked me to photograph their wedding back in August of 2010 in Grass Valley at the Harmony Lodge. I love working with these two (soon to be 3). They have a love for adventure and a warmth of spirit that just makes you want to spend more time with them. “Finn” is going to be a lucky little boy! We met up down by the river in Sacramento where the two of them hopped on…

This all day, beginning-intermediate workshop will be taught by Lisa Richmond on April 10 in Camino, CA and hosted by Kim and Bob Little. There are a few spaces still left. My goal is to keep this workshop small for more one on one with each student. The workshop includes a 50 page workbook and the time will be divided between in the classroom and out in the field practicing what is being learned using “people” as models. Field time will include both observation and “hands on” experience setting up shots, and using drills to practice your camera settings. Images…

The upcoming weather forecast for the date of my shoot with Brielle and Trevor started to look bleak – it said rainy & overcast. I’m good with shooting in the rain-it can be fun, it adds a new element to work with, plus the almighty “umbrella prop”- so romantic!  Many brides would want to reschedule,  (having just had their hair and make up done) and I understand that, and would be fine with that,  but not Brielle and Trevor, they were up for “whatever the weather brings us on that day” ! I was so pleased  … it was going…

Real Weddings is a Sacramento based magazine that has featured two of my weddings. The Issue that is out right now (Winter 2010) has an editorial about Nicole & Treb’s wedding – a couple whom I photographed at the Citizen Hotel in Sacramento this summer where their wedding was held. Here is a link to their online article which includes more photographs. Go grab a magazine and check it out !

This summer Jeff and I asked the Andrew Heringer Band to play an end of summer party at our home (see here). These guys are as talented as they are fun to hang out with, so when Andrew called and asked if I would shoot their new promo shots, I was excited. Music has always been a part of my life. I was a band manager in college (while studying for a BS in photography) for an eclectic, popular and up and coming band, Dogtalk. My photo professor kept encouraging me to find things to photograph other than bands, instruments…

Sara’s father Charlie Ferris is currently my youngest daughter Ember’s kindergarten teacher, was my oldest daughter Jaz’s kindergarten teacher two years ago and was also my assistant Cassie’s older brother’s kindergarten teacher.. 22 years ago! I adore Charlie & now I also adore his fantastic daughter Sara and her new husband Sean. I had asked Sean to describe Sara in one adjective and he quickly responded “Wonderful.” I then asked him for a second adjective & he replied “Compassionate, wise, understanding, beautiful..” – Anyone can tell that Sara and Sean are crazy about each other. They are alot of fun…

Elizabeth & Brian got married at the Lions Gate Hotel in the General’s Garden. Elizabeth looked like a princess in her stunning dress and did an awesome job with all the details of their wedding- the kids tables, the guest greeting tree, the fans, the table gifts, the invitations and everything in between. They did such a wonderful job with the planning and putting together of this celebration with their friends and family. Brian and Elizabeth have two adorable children, Genna who is 6 who was the flower girl & Bridan who is 2 and was the ring boy. I…
