why I’m a happy mother – Happy Mother’s Day!

My daughter Carly used to hate me taking pictures of her. She finally accepted the inevitable and willingly models for me. We went out recently on a spring day. I had sort of a vision of what I wanted to do, which includes a lot of work in photoshop – going for a very arts look.

I glanced up the hill and caught Zoe watching and got this shot – she’s turned to be a pretty good model too . . .

Two of the shots were taken at Justin Winery in Adelaide – the rest we shot on our property in Atascadero, Ca.

Tawny and Bob

Tawny and Bob chose to have a small, intimate wedding at her parent’s beautiful victorian house in Paso Robles. Everything was perfect from the weather to the setting to the vows which touched hearts to the delicious brunch served up by Chef Jeff.  By 2:00 they were off for Yosemite which I’ve heard is the most beautiful it’s been in years.

Emily and Chris – Historic Pozo Saloon Wedding

My time shooting Chris and Emily’s wedding was short and sweet – about 3 hours – but it was a great time with a fun couple and a fun time. We were unsure about what the weather would hold for the day, but as Emily had researched in the Farmer’s Almanac, the weather held up perfectly for this special day.
