  • looking for love…

    …but we should have been looking for shoes and a jacket, before we impulsively went looking for love… Because it wasn’t until we were halfway to the coast that we realized we didn’t have either of those necessary clothing items for Harper on that rainy Northern California Sunday in March. Luckily his daddy has strong…

  • Homage…

    I am excited to kick off a creative new year with a group photography show at Toby’s Feed Barn in Point Reyes Station… Each photographer was asked to pay “homage” to something and I chose to pay “homage” to the amazing women I have been lucky to photograph. We would love for you to come…

  • Just the two of us, and Michigan…

    When our friends Sarah and James announced that they were getting married this summer in Michigan, I immediately said we’d be there. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan was a very important part of Arann’s (pre-Paige) life and yet in the eight years we have been together I still had never been there… so we decided…

  • A Photographer’s Wedding…

    Klea and Dave got married at the Westerbeke Ranch in Sonoma on July 23, 2011. Klea and Dave’s wedding may have been one of the easiest and one of the hardest weddings that I have ever photographed. It was one of the easiest weddings that I have photographed because Klea is also a photographer so…

  • In my perfect world…

    …I would live on a street where all of my best friends lived in the houses around me… …and we would get to do all of this… … all of the time. But until my wish comes true… …I am so grateful for airplanes that bring me to my favorite people who live too far…

  • My Best Tip-Toe Forward…

    Last week I received a phone call from a well-known company asking to see my portfolio. They wanted to see still life, food and some people (because they don’t usually do much photography of people.) While that phone call was very exciting, the problem was that no one had ever asked me to send in…

  • It’s All About the Family…

    Last week I received this email: I am looking for someone to take photos of my extended family (13 people ages 3 mos-75 yrs) in Bolinas. We are renting a house there for the weekend for my mom’s birthday. I think we would want some photos of everyone and some of the four nuclear families…

  • Faces behind the food…

    Mitch wanted me to take portraits for the Town Hall cook book… I was more than happy to oblige. This assignment was the first time that I used my new Contax 645… but I couldn’t help but use my Rollei too. I am happy with the results but I still love the square best.

  • If life gives you snow…

    And you really want to go sledding… but there are no hills… And pushing just won’t work… But you do happen to have two huge dogs… Sit on the sled and just say, “Mush!” When that doesn’t work, have someone the dogs love run really fast in front of them… And hold on tight. But…

  • This was our New Year’s eve…

    We went mussel hunting. The walk, the hunting, and even the cleaning, with the help of Outkast and champagne, were amazing. The meal… well, it needs some refining. But really, it was always about the adventure. And that is a good reminder for 2011.
