Andy

I have been working a lot the past few months and it has been so great, such a blessing, to meet so many new people in various sessions, in traveling and at the weddings I have photographed.

I recently scheduled a day of play for me and my sister and we headed to the bay area to scout some locations and see what happened while out with the camera. Andy is a fantastic model and we had a blast trying out new styles and poses. Thank you Andy for all your help, you totally rock!

Enjoy my favorites!

Julie + Jose, Ukiah & Hopland, CA

Julie and Jose are the epitome of young love.  They are a super stylish, fun and very in love couple and we had too much fun at our session in September.

I met Julie through my cousin Cristina a few months ago and we hit it off. She is such a fun and sweet person and totally beautiful, her boyfriend Jose is very nice, very on-trend and loves Julie.

We met in downtown Ukiah one early September morning and began our session, we ended in the next town over, Hopland, at the Brutocao Cellars and had a great time! If you are ever in the area, stop by the Brutocao (it's right off of 101) and have a glass of wine and relax with a nice game of Bocce Ball, it is the best! Being in the heart of the northern california wine country was peaceful and fun, one of my favorite places to visit and photograph.

Here are some of my favorites, thank you Julie and Jose!!

Priscilla + Matt 9.25.2010 Twain Harte Wedding

Living in California is such a blessing, especially where I live right in the middle of it all in the central valley.  I am equal distance from the Bay Area as I am to the Sierra Nevada mountains and to about any other place I want to travel within a few hours.

I love destination weddings and I had the privilege to photograph Priscilla and Matt's wedding in Twain Harte, a small town east of Sonora in the heart of the gold country (Remember the gold rush in the 1840's and 50's from history? Sonora, Twain Harte and all of the small towns tucked away in the mountains are where it all happened)  Their wedding was held at a quaint little bed and breakfast named The McCaffrey House, it had such character and was like something out of a childhood storybook.

It was a small, intimate wedding, just family and a few friends, to celebrate their love and joy on their special day.  I was proud to have my friend Kimberly Chan join me as my second photographer for this wedding, thank you!

To Priscilla and Matt, congratulations and may you both be blessed with love, family and happiness for the rest of your lives!

Kristiina + Tim Wedding 9.24.2010

I had the pleasure of photographing Kristiina and Tim's wedding on a beautiful Friday afternoon at the Maidu Community Center in Roseville, CA. Their wedding was Spanish inspired, a tapas buffet, fans for the bridesmaids in vibrant green and purple and unique wedding decor fitting for an afternoon wedding.

They are a wonderful couple, full of love for each other, their families and friends and most importantly their love for God. It was truly a spiritual, God-filled wedding and that made everything even more special and intimate.

I was happy to have Kimberly Chan photograph alongside me, she is a fantastic photographer and we always have great fun on our photoshoots.

Congratulations Kristiina and Tim, may your marriage be blessed by God all the days of your lives and filled with nothing but love!
