  • 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…

  • The Rollei Makes it Better….

    You know how you just know that a shot is going to be good… well this is the one I was hoping would make me feel better about the eggs in a field craziness last week. The minute I took it, I had all my fingers and toes crossed that it would come out the…

  • 3 photographers playing in a photographer’s playground

    Today was SO fun! Three photographers… Jude, Jessamyn and I decided to have a stock photography play date. We each picked a place, a theme for outfits, divided up the day and then we started shooting. Jessamyn wanted a natural lifestyle photo shoot, so she picked a cafe where Jude and I laughed, talked and…

  • Just a typical Thursday with good friends…

    Meet Rebecca and Kevin. They are my friends, in fact, they were the first two friends I made when I moved to California in 2001. One reason I like them is because when I say, “Let’s do a photo shoot,” they say, “OK, we’ll wear these hats.” And then we went to the thrift store….…

  • Worth the Wait….

    Just wanted to add the Rollei photos from my baby shoot last week…. film is expensive, the camera is slow, the negatives have to be processed, scanned, de-dusted…. meaning the whole process is much more expensive and labor intensive…. but I love it!

  • Oak Hill Portraits

    These portraits are for Jonah Raskin’s book about his experiences on Sonoma County farms over the past year. He spent most of his time at Oak Hill Farm and wanted some portraits of the people behind the fresh organic food that he fell in love with. I arrived at the farm at 7 am with…
