Central Coast Beauty! P.S. This is my 200 post on my blog!!

The first week in August I took my boys home to visit my family and friends.  Home could be Atascadero or Templeton, I spent a lot of time in both towns.  Generally I refer to home as the Central Coast.  Located exactly half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles.  This is where my photography career started.  My first wedding, family pictures, I even shot my little sister's senior portraits in 1987.  When I heard my friend Claire was looking for someone to shot her daughters senior pictures I gave her a shout out.   Claire's family and mine go way back.  I mentioned to her that I would be in town and would love to take pictures of Kate. This is Kate, a senior at Atascadero High.  She is one beautiful teenager, very sweet! 






















I have to mention this fence.  I asked Kate to lean on it and was demonstrating to her how it should look.  Well it was an electric fence!!!  Yes, I got electrocuted, funny, I think so.  I was just happy that I touched the fence before Kate, I would have felt bad if she had gotten electrocuted.  Thanks Claire for allowing me to take Kate's pictures. I had a GREAT time and enjoyed shooting in my home town.   It was wonderful to see you again after all this time!!  What a great 200 post on my blog!!  See the confetti falling down.:-)

I love the pictures. The last time I saw Claire was when Kate was approximately 6 months old. She was beautiful then and still is.

A Very Sweet Wedding at the Encanto Park Clubhouse With Nicole and Chad

Image
 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

Image
I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12. Stephanie help me out, what was the name of the talk show your mom took us to the tapping of in which I got to ask a question? This took place in 1979, we were in sixth grade. Teen Beat I think? I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t...

Jason + Dena = wedding @ Sassi

Image
Where to start? When my friend Nancy heard that Dena was engaged she sent her my way. I met with Dena and Jason and instantly felt comfortable with them and was very excited to be their wedding photographer. Since the time of meeting Dena up to the wedding I have gained a new friend. In getting to know Dena through my photography workshop, emails and fb I noticed she had a specific idea of how her wedding would feel, look and be documented. In quoting Dena "I am a pictureaholic". I have been shooting weddings forever, but I still get nervous and every once in awhile I will feel intimidated and this was one of those days. However, once I get to the venue and have my camera in hand the feelings all go away and I never lose sight of the importance of this once a in lifetime moment! Jason and Dena were married at Sassi , an incredible venue in north Scottsdale. It was an amazing wedding that ran perfectly with the help of Valerie with blueprint affairs . I also had the lovely Tr...
