Seattle and Vancouver Vacation

I am officially taking a mini-vacation for five days, starting early tomorrow, and will be in Seattle and Vancouver through August 5. I will return phone calls and emails beginning August 7. I may have internet connection to post to the blog and hopefully will get some images as cool as this one of the Space Needle.

Blake at 4 mos.

Baby Blake is one of the cute little guys in my Bebe' Collection and was in last month for his 4 mos. session (we missed 3 due some illnesses). Blake has a big brother named Brennan who was not very happy participating in having his photo taken this time around but I think we did pretty well grabbing some family shots also. You can view Blake's slideshow *here*.

Sunday Drive

Check out the road and the scenery:







Making the ride awesome:


Having my truck really pays off when friends need to use it to move. My friend, Nathan, made the automobile exchange with me on Saturday so I had his BMW to use all day Sunday. I absolutely took the best advantage of this opportunity to grab my friend, Denise, and drive up to Lake Berryessa through all the country curvy backroads. I still love my truck, but boy is that car easy to love also. Hey, Nathan, I hope you're reading this and get to see what your car was up to today - I bet you're jeolous!

Sam Cohen comes home from NICU!!

At the end of May, I was really excited to help my friends, Rick and Ruth, bring their son, Sam, home from the NICU at UCD Med Center. Isn't Sam the cutest little thing? I love the first image of him with such a look of contentment on his face. It's like he knew what was going on and was ready to head home to be with his mommy and daddy all the time. You can click on the image above to link to the pdf newsletter I made for Sam with the story of his arrival at home finally.

Jefferson Street Mansion in Benicia

On June 2, Jessica and Eric married at the Jefferson Street Mansion in Benicia. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and seems a like a real hidden gem nestled on the top of a hill overlooking the bay. The weather was perfect so we took some time to head down to the waterfront for a few portraits. You can see the slideshow *here*.

The Mountain Terrace in Woodside

I've been a bad blogger, I know. Ryan and I have been so busy with jobs I haven't kept up with posting about them....I'm going to attempt to catch up by starting back with Jennie & Scott's Wedding at the beautiful Mountain Terrace in Woodside. View the slideshow *here*.
We met a fabulous florist, Amy Burke of Amy Burke Designs. If you searching for a florist for your bay area wedding you should check out her website at www.amyburkedesigns.com.
