Marcin & Michelle {The Wedding}

I've been so busy with things this summer I've totally forgotten to blog about all of the weddings I've photographed and helped photographed this year so far! Here are a few from the wedding I assisted Sarah of Sarah Dawson Photography. This wedding was a joy to photograph! It was such a calm, and loving environment! You could just feel how much everyone was in total agreement of this union and the love in the eyes of Marcin and Michelle as they were giving their vows, brought a tear to my eyes. Enjoy these images, my friends!

Brett Andrew Vandenberg

Earlier this year I took family portraits and maternity portraits of the Vandenberg family. Well a few months ago they had their second boy, Brett! They welcomed me back to their home to photograph this new little guy and had some birth announcements designed for them as well. He was such a little darling! I dare say the most well behaved, peaceful little one I've ever seen. Of course he fussed a little (who wouldn't if they were told to sit half naked for a few portraits?! haha!) But he was a good sport and we got some beautiful photos of him. Congratulations again, Sara & Aaron! (oh and to the big Brother too!) I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do!

A dinner party in Auburn

So this month the House 2 Home magazine brought me to Auburn to photograph the delightful Joanne Neft. She started the first Foothill Farmers' Market about 20 years ago, helped start the Mountain Mandarin Festival held in Auburn and is author of "Placer County Real Food Cookbook". Last year Joanne along with Chef Laura Kenny shopped the local farmers market on the weekends and on Monday evenings they would serve eight guests new and simple recipes they had created all from the foods bought at the farmers markets. They recipes are all compiled in this cookbook with all in-season menus all 52 weeks, starting in January and ending in December 2009. As soon as Betsy (the writer) and I arrived at the quaint cottage in the hills we were greeted at the door by the smiling faces of Joanne and Laura. Laura offered us a nectarine puree lemon-aid made fresh that afternoon and a appetizer of fresh salmon and dill dip with baby carrots, radishes and snap peas. Joanne shared with us the history of the farmers' markets start in Auburn and how Laura and her put the cookbook together. I was in heaven with the amazing window light in this house! Then it was time for lunch. Laura prepared steak over a bed of corn, cucumber, avocado and basil salad and bean sprouts and tiny tomatoes on the side. (lunch was made from food bought at the farmers market or from Joanne's personal garden) The portion size was just perfect because next came dessert! A lemon cream meringue with fresh picked blackberries, Raspberries and blueberries. It was so light, creamy and full of fruity flavors! I'm sorry all of you can't taste it, but please enjoy the images and check out her website! I Highly recommend buying this cookbook for yourself (and a friends or two). The recipes are simple, easy and amazingly tasty! Plus how great is it to support your local farmers!? Ok, enough talk and on to the images. Enjoy my friends! :)

Royce Heating & Air Ad

Hi friends,
Last month I got an e.mail from the big guy at Royce Heating & Air for a job. They needed an updated portrait of their "guys in white" for an ad they were putting out in House 2 Home Showcase. I of course excitedly took the job. I hadn't done a big group of guys before but knew it wouldn't be too much of a challenge. Their vision was an image of the guys in their crisp white uniforms in front of the vans in front of a beautiful house. I met the guys bright and early at 8am and we went right to work moving vans in various amounts and positions. The guys were all such good sports and we all had a great time goofing off and getting a few different shots. I think they all turned out great and was so pleased with the ad! I'll post some images here and then post the final page with the ad so you can see it in action! :)

Farmer's Market with Chef Randall Selland

Hi friends!
So last month for House 2 Home Showcase, Betsy (the writer I work with) and I had the pleasure of being showed around at the Farmer's Market. (Downtown Sacramento Every Sunday 8:00 AM - Noon at 8th and W Streets) Chef Randall Selland is the owner of Selland's, Ella's and The Kitchen, all beautiful restaurants that serve fresh ingredients from the Farmer's Market! Today he was shopping for The Kitchen and for his own home as well. Along for the tour were his wife and grandchildren who are always interested in helping out with cooking (Last time Ella & Jackson made Betsy & I homemade Clam Chowder from scratch!), and eating of course (the kids shared a basket of blackberries while at the market). Here are some images from that morning. Enjoy!

Vandenberg Family Portraits

I had the great pleasure of photographing my boyfriend's sister and her family portraits. They are such a sweet, loving couple who have THE most Adorable little boy! We met at a park in Roseville and just had a relaxing time walking, talking and stopping here and there to snap portraits. Afterwards they treated us (the boyfriend & I) to some delish Chipotle for dinner! Enjoy these images!

Hi Friends!

It's been a pretty busy summer for me this 2010! It's been Wedding after wedding after wedding, followed by a family portrait session, then newborn portraits, headshots for a Private Chef and the usual work I do for House 2 Home Showcase magazine. And summer isn't over yet! Still ahead I have two more weddings to attend. (They'll be my 8th and 9th wedding this year!) To be fair to each photo session I will post individual posts dedicated to each session, following this one. Thanks so much for reading, now get on to the next post and enjoy the images!
