  • Remembering the meaning of it all…

    Remember Meghan and Tom from their engagement photo session a couple of months ago? Well, they are happily married now… but it was not an easy journey. Rings not finished, groom stuck in a traffic jam missing the rehearsal, brother stranded in Chicago without a flight, hotel rooms not reserved, veil flying off right before…

  • I want it all…

    These days for my family photo shoots I like to offer it all… because why not? For fast moving colorful moments I use my digital 35mm (click here to see digital samples of the same photo shoot.) While I generally prefer the results of film better, there are lots of benefits to digital. One huge…

  • The Whole Rollei Story…

    This is a continuation of Gina and Keith’s wedding (to see all of the series click here). Since Gina had hired a photographer to document the day (so I could be a guest for the night) so I made an executive hurried decision… no digital only the Rollei. I wanted to enjoy the night and…

  • Getting ready for the (United Nations) Chapel on the 34th floor of the Millenium Hotel in Manhattan… of course…

    This is just the second installment… of Gina and Keith get married… there will be more to come. I did fill a few digital cards of these same moments, but they will not make the blog, this time the Rollei wins, hands down.

  • Just one… and then I really need to get some work done…

    I have all my film, from my trip across the East, in a nice neat stack, just waiting for me to scan them and show them to the world on my blog, but the problem is I have 10,000 other things to do first… so I am saving my film as a reward for myself……

  • Bathing Beauties…

    The photo above is my absolute favorite photo, maybe ever, but that’s because it is of my family. The elegant bathing beauty is my grandmother, facing her is my grandfather, and to the left is my mom. And I need to do my research, but I’d like to believe they are at the same beach…

  • Another Kelly-ism…

    This is only the surface of my latest Kelly, Messy Monkey Founder, photo shoot (you may remember her in the bathtub with eggs)… there is so much more to come from this shoot, but unfortunately we photographed right before I flew away on my current Eastern Adventure… so I haven’t had time to scan the…

  • project HERE… with John Crowley

    This is John Crowley, he is the definition of community in Petaluma. About 7 years ago, this Irishman decided he was tired of sitting alone in his Petaluma home, watching TV on Saturday nights… and he realized he was probably not the only one who felt that way, so he decided to make a change.…

  • The Rollei’s first Pregnancy Photo Shoot

    Just catching up on editing before I go away again… and so I wanted to add some Rollei shots from my photo shoot with Tauni and Dan a couple of weeks ago. They’re just so cute.

  • Here’s to Men Who Cook… (because I don’t!)

    My two favorite chefs in the world… The World Famous Photographer, Art Rogers, and the Almost World Famous Musician and Entertainer, Arann Harris of The Bluebellies. The specialty of the night… Barbecued Pizza and more red wine than necessary…. the key to every woman’s heart.
