  • I’m Back… and happy about it.

    I am back from London and trying to climb out of my photo editing pile. I have lots and lots and lots of photos to work my way through… but in the meantime I am trying to balance my computer time, with some fun time. And this morning, although I promised myself I was going…

  • We interrupt this program…

    …to say that I am in London this week to photograph a wonderful friend’s wedding. So I am taking a bit of a break from my usual blogging. But I promise, no re-runs next week. I will be back in Petaluma mid-week and hopefully full of all kinds of wonderfully inspiring photos. Say please stay…

  • If That’s What You’re In To….

    My bestest friend and avid blogger, Nici, aka: Dig This Chick, from Montana, challenged me, and some other bloggers, to share our favorite music: past and present. Here’s the challenge: THE ORIGINAL RULES: List seven songs you are into right now. Tag seven other people to see what they are listening to. Nici’s TWIST: List…

  • Yay for Wednesday night Farmer’s Market in Petaluma

    I got a last minute call from The Argus Courier to do a photo shoot at the Wednesday night Farmer’s Market, which I didn’t even know existed. So it was great to go down and see the scene. And now I know that there is another good option for fresh produce and homemade goods in…

  • A different kind of Head Shot…

    This is Tim. He works for Petaluma Home Loans and he decided he needed a new head shot. Tim didn’t want a traditional head shot, he wanted something to show the environment as well, which is good for me because I am not very traditional. We’ve all seen the bad head shots on the real…

  • Just fun to look at…

    These photos were taken with my Rolleiflex during our photographer’s photo shoot the other week. Black and white medium format wins again on most of the shots… except this one. I think I prefer the color.

  • Fun Idea for a Bachelorette Party (pass it on)

    This is Gina. She was one of my first friends when I moved to SF and she is getting married in August. She currently lives in NY, but for her bachelorette party she decided to come Sonoma for a wine country weekend. Gina is one of the most positive and full of life people I…

  • A match.com success story and why I love weddings…

    Jennifer and Steve met 5 months ago on match.com and last weekend I got to photograph their wedding story. I was a little nervous, because it had been over a year since I photographed a complete wedding, do to my year-off for grad school, but this wedding was the perfect reintroduction. Everyone was so happy,…

  • Happy Hula Hooping Birthday

    These are just some of my favorite photos from Suzi’s Birthday Party at Oak Hill Farm last weekend. Funny how I have reoccurring themes in my life… right now they seem to be grasslands, bathtubs, and Oak Hill Farm. And hopefully from now on, hula hoops will be a on the list. They make for…

  • Which would make you want to pick it up?

    So, it is cover time for Jonah’s book. They want color, veggies, something different, something to show the bounty of the farms and something to compliment the title, which is: Field Days. This was my first attempt… any thoughts? The one above would probably have some cropping. I don’t know if it is cover potential,…
