When you called me earlier this year to cancel your wedding, I tried to comfort you by letting you know that “you have all the time in the world to get married”. I had no idea that this was not true. Rest in peace Amy. We will all miss your free spirit and beautiful smile.
As if having one blog to maintain isn’t enough….When my travel planner friend Melissa from high school asked me to be a guest blogger on her blog, I laughed! I told her, “I have enough trouble keeping up with my own blog.” She however assured me that it would be easy and that I just needed to answer some basic questions about photography. So I did and here is the link to some basic photography tips. Check out Melissa to help you with planning your next vacation!
Jeff and Danielle are wonderful. They arrived at my doorstep with a thoughtful gift of a bottle of Zin-a shared favorite among us. We took off to Lake Tahoe for their engagement session and with the help of my new friend Jaime from Rose Street we embarked upon a super cool place to shoot our session. Jeff admitted that the “purple” shirt was little out of his comfort zone but was fine with giving it a shot:)(or two or three…) These two are in love and so comfortable with each other. For me, it is so much fun to shoot…
John & Elisha exchanged their vows at the beautiful Fausel Ranch in Placerville on a warm day in July. Ever have one of those couples that everyone you speak with that day has nothing but kind words to say about them-about how generous and fun loving the two of them are as individuals and together? It seemed this way to me…even heard a story about John driving up in a moment’s notice(over an hour away) because he heard his friend was working on building a deck by himself. Apparently he stayed till midnight helping. His friend said, “that’s just the…
Mandi & John love coming up to the mountains to ski & snowboard – so they had their wedding at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe! I enjoy getting the opportunity to photograph in new locations and especially at the top of a mountain overlooking Lake Tahoe- I’ve got a great job! Mandi and John are easy going and clearly have surrounded themselves with folks who love and care about them. Mandi’s sister Jenny personalized and performed the ceremony while matron of honor, Brittany heroically caught flower arrangements being taken down by the high country wind. All of their…
David has been home schooled his whole life along with his older sister and brother Michelle & Daniel. David is the last of the Carlson kids that I get to photograph senior pictures for. He just graduated this year and plans on going to Folsom Lake for a couple of terms to figure out what he’d like to do in life. I like the way kids use college these days to sort stuff out rather than feel like they have to know what they will do for the rest of their life at eighteen years old. David writes historical fiction…
Trevor & Brielle were married at “The House on the Hill”, the home of Brielle’s parents, Irene and Alan in Greenstone. They have all been working very hard since January to get ready for the wedding not to mention a complete home landscaping, patio building and gazebo raising (what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger…right?) June 19 was a warm and breezy day. We all knew how lucky we were that the temperature was around 80, when it could have so easily been 100+ degrees. My assistant Cassie and my friend Jaime from Rose Street Studio were helping me out…
John & Elisha are getting married on July 10, 2010 at the beautiful Fausel Ranch in Placerville, CA. They were referred to me from Gretchen & Matt‘s wedding last August at Fausel last year (apparently they have a groomsman in common). John and Elisha make each other laugh and truly have a zest for enjoying life. John brought along his 13 year old daughter Maddie as well as Trixie, their Pitbull/Boxer mix dog! Trixie and Maddie were fun additions to the shoot not only because of the dogs inate ability to make everyone laugh and feel relaxed but also because…
Well, the last day of school has come and gone (again) and summer is now upon us. This year was bitter sweet as we wished many well who were retiring this year from Pinewood Elementary School. I arrived that day with the goal of documenting the last day of one teacher in particular, Charlie Ferris. Charlie’s teaching career spanned 36 years, 24 of which were teaching kindergarten at Pinewood. It would be easy to underestimate Charlie with his calm demeanor, but as the saying goes: “still waters run deep”. And it is a good thing given how many of us…
