Oakland Engagement Session | Oakland Zoo | Chelsea and John

From the first email Chelsea wrote to me, I knew her and John were just a little extra special. A zookeeper, a scientist, and a love that is a perfect example of how sometimes opposites attract. She’s a little on … Continue reading
2011 Year in Review

I know it sounds cliché, but it really does seem like not too long ago I was putting together my review post for 2010. And yet, as we all know, time holds still for no man (or woman for that … Continue reading
Apple Hill Engagement Session | Boeger Winery | Rashele and Troy

I just want to go on record stating that almost all of my couples are a little nervous about getting in front of my camera the first time. The truth is that most people do not have their photographs professionally … Continue reading
Folsom Engagement Session | Lake Natoma | Wendy and Michael

I have to admit, when Wendy asked about bringing Michael’s “other baby” to their engagement shoot in Folsom I was in shock. That was until she told me the other baby was actually his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Oh, okay…I get … Continue reading
West Sacramento Riverwalk Engagement Session | Jennifer + Jason

I am so happy this session happened. You see, it almost didn’t. Jason is Canadian, Jennifer is American and when you fall in love with someone from another country, the logistics of being together can be…complicated. So when Jennifer called … Continue reading
Folsom Lake Engagement Session | Sarah and Brian

I met Sarah and her mom back in December. I remember that I had a bit of a leftover cold and kept having these little involuntary coughs when I would speak too much. Sarah and her mother both showed so … Continue reading
Folsom Engagement Session | Ryan and Rachelle | my 100th Blog Post

Amador County Winery Engagement Session | Rachel and Fernando

I am a firm believer that my clients find me and choose me because I was meant to be their photographer. I know it sounds a little cheesy, but I really think it’s true. It’s a faith thing; I feel … Continue reading

There are only a couple hours left until the New Year here in Northern California, and I’ve spent the majority of the day going through all of the images I took this year. I just posted my 2010 wedding recap … Continue reading
Apple Hill Engagement Session | Travis + Stephanie

When Stephanie called me for her engagement session, she was in the middle of planning a destination wedding. You see, Stephanie and her family are all from Florida. This is where she met and fell in love with Travis. So … Continue reading
Old Sugar Mill Engagement Session | Tim + Casey

I should have known how cool this location was going to be when Casey informed me that the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, CA required a copy of my liability insurance before we could shoot there. But I never really … Continue reading
Old Town Sacramento Engagement Shoot | Brittany + Shaun

I love these guys. No REALLY, I LOVE these guys. Brittany and Shaun are so totally down to earth, relatable, sweet, cute, and totally in love with each other. Every time I go through their images I keep seeing what … Continue reading
Capitol Park Engagement Session | Downtown Sacramento | Daniel + Carol

Welcome to the little engagement session that almost never was! I’m telling you, the weather did not want to cooperate with us at all for Daniel and Carol’s engagement shoot. We tried Tahoe, but a huge snowstorm kept that from … Continue reading
Napa Valley Engagement Session | Calistoga | Sarah + Bill

Sarah and Bill are getting married in May in Saratoga. Since they are in the Bay area and I’m in Sacramento, we decided to find a place in the middle to meet for their engagement photos. Sarah and Bill had … Continue reading
