Jess & Ben [San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography]

2011-09-18T16:15:00.000-07:00

Ben is a family friend of my good friend Alyse. She and I moved from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco coincidentally at the same time last year. She introduced me to Ben's mom over the winter and we immediately started discussing the plans for Ben and Jess's wedding in Paso Robles. I gave them a huge list of great vendors in the San Luis Obispo area. Of course, after hearing about how Ben is into medieval reenactments and their wedding would be at Eagle Castle Winery, I knew Bob Stock at Phase1 Mobile DJ was the right fit for them. We had a great time at this wedding. They were such a fun couple from the pre-wedding moments to the last dance of the night.

Megan and Nick had a fantastic wedding at the Monterey Museum of Art. The ceremony was in the rose garden behind the museum. After the ceremony we walked down to the pond for portraits with the bridal party. They had dinner in the front garden and then moved back out to the back garden for dancing and cake. DNA provided tunes for the event.

2nd Photographer Again [Templeton Wedding Photography]

2011-07-06T20:12:00.000-07:00

Last month I was hired to work with John Patrick Images on a beautiful wedding on a ranch in Templeton. I haven't worked as a 2nd photographer in, I'd say, about 8 years. It was a lot of fun to shoot with the stress and pressure of being the primary photographer. I got to take a lot of candids and experiment. There were a lot of great vendors, Sarah Angelique, Sean Dasmann from AMS, and Josh & Katherine Morris from Rain Studios on Video.

Victoria & Tim [San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography]

2011-07-01T23:41:00.000-07:00

Victoria and Tim had their very special wedding day at their home in Arroyo Grande. There was a lot of originality going on in the wedding, a black wedding dress being most obvious. In addition to that their was a long-horn bull, rock-n-roll processional and a best friend skyped in from England. Also it was probably the sweetest wedding I've ever shot...no I mean literally! They had a chocolate fountain, cotton candy, smoores, italian ice, and a wedding cake. One of my favorite parts was the garter toss. Because they met on eHarmony they attached $30 onto the garter as a "pay-it-forward" so that whoever caught the garter could join the site. It was a very fun idea. Sarah Angelique did a great job keep everything organized and on-track. I also got to work with DJ Mike from AMS and Jack Hutchinson on video, both for the first time. They both did an excellent job!

Domine & Chris [San Francisco Engagement Photography]

2011-06-16T23:20:00.000-07:00

I met up with Domine and Chris in the Glen Park neighborhood of San Francisco. A few days before the engagement session Domine got herself very nervous and worked up about the shoot. We worked through it after I explained that the engagement session is all about practice and with 2 hours we will have plenty of time to get several really great shoots. I love engagement photography. It is a great chance to get to know my couple and for them to practice being in front of the camera. It takes so much pressure off the wedding day portraits. Everything goes a little faster and smoother on the day. That's why every couple I book for wedding photography gets a free engagement shoot. It is completely optional but I totally recommend it. Besides its free and if they opt not to do the wedding still costs the same amount. So there really isn't any reason to skip it.

Ben & Jess [San Luis Obispo Engagement Photography]

2011-06-01T21:50:00.000-07:00

Ben and Jess were referred to me by my friend Alyse. I met Ben's mom first in San Francisco. She asked me for a list of florist, hairstylist and DJs from the San Luis Obispo area. I was happy to help them and I'm super excited for this wedding because I get to work with some of my favorite vendors all in one event! Ben and Jess were in Morro Bay the same weekend I had finals at Cuesta so we met up at the dunes just North of the Morro Rock. They brought their dog and a good friend to help wrangle her. Jess and Ben is very photogenic and Ben has a great grasp on how to act in a pose so that the photo is natural but still has a portrait feel. I can't wait to work with them in July at Eagle Castle.

Mistee's Baby Shower [San Luis Obispo Family Photography]

2011-05-31T21:33:00.000-07:00

My friend Dawn hired me to shoot Mistee's baby shower was at her home in San Miguel. Well actually it was across the street in the open field. Although it was really windy in San Miguel that day, it was still a fantastic baby shower. Mistee looked amazing! I hope if I ever get pregnant I look that good. My friends and family are probably rolling on the ground laughing at that statement :)

2011-05-26T22:30:00.000-07:00

Dale and Rich had their intimate Jewish ceremony and reception at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley. It was a foggy and rainy day in the Bay Area but we still had a lot of great opportunities for portraits. Dale's daughter Quinn recommended me. She works at the San Luis Obispo Children's Museum and helped me set up the Art After Dark show last year.

Victoria & Tim Engagement Part 2 [San Luis Obispo Photography]

2011-04-18T22:32:00.000-07:00

I met up with Victoria and Tim for the 2nd half of their engagement session at the beach behind The Shelter Cove Inn in Shell Beach. They brought their rottie and we hiked down to the beach from the hotel parking lot. It was still windy but we were able to wait out the wind and get some great shots.

I just started a full time position at Bank of America Home Loans. They sent me to a training in Glendale, CA. On Wednesday night I was out with some friends who drove up from Redlands and this is what we saw. I didn't actually take this picture but I definitely pointed it out to my friend. It made me laugh so I thought I should share it on my blog.

Victoria and Tim are getting married in May at the Arroyo Grande home. We met in downtown San Luis Obispo for an engagement session. It has been so windy that we decided to only do half of the session this time then meet again in a few weeks to go to the beach for a 2nd session.

Chris Denny [San Francisco Music Photography]

2011-01-21T15:27:00.000-08:00

My brother has been in town for a few weeks so I had a couple of opportunities to photograph him playing. His friend David Kluger at Wolfgang's Vault shot 4 really great videos and I took some behind the scenes shots. Two days later Chris played at the Revolution Cafe in San Francisco and I got some great shots from that show. The Revolution Cafe is pretty tiny and probably the darkest place I've ever shot without a flash.

Photography School [Dallas Art Photography]

2011-01-18T16:05:00.000-08:00

I finally had the opportunity to pull a few images from my photography classes in Dallas back in 2001 and 2002. This are all black and white film images scanned from the negative, so forgive the quality. I guess my love for contrast started pretty early. There are a mix of abstract images with natural light and studio images with controlled lighting.

Abstract Photography: Stairs with shadow

Abstract Photography: This was actually a tucked away corner
of a church down the street from my house.

Abstract Photography: I drove past this image everyday
for a few weeks before I jumped out with my camera and grabbed it.

Abstract Photography: This image and the next image are part of a diptic.

Abstract Photography: This image goes next to the one above creating a pattern.
They are shot from underneath a metal staircase.

Fashion Photography: This was one of my first attempts at studio lighting.

Studio Lighting: We had to create a studio on a shoestring
budget. This was shot in my kitchen using a posterboard backdrop and
hot lights. I didn't do a great job with the reflections but hey that's
my hand so I was shooting one handed. No fish were harmed.

Human Abstract: An experiment with multiple exposures in studio.

Human Abstract: I noticed this awesome light in my living room
one morning so I set up my tripod and jumped in front of
the camera for a quick self portrait. This turned out to be
one of my favorite shots from my entire school portfolio.

Figure Study: This was from my very first semester.

Art Photography: My boyfriend at the time worked in
a building that housed old movie sets. This was discovered
while exploring late one night. Shhhh! We weren't supposed to be there.

Art Photography: I took this image on one of my last days in
Dallas. There was a polling place down the street from my house
and the sight of all these political signs was insane.
There were even more signs than you can see.

Babes in Toyland Ballet [San Luis Obispo Photography]

2010-12-20T13:50:00.000-08:00

Coastal Dance and Music Academy invited me to photograph their ballet production of Babes in Toyland at the Clark Center. I attended two nights. On the first night I shot the ballet from about halfway back and center stage. After I shot the ballet I took some group portraits. On the second night I snagged a empty front row seat and got a lot of great close up shots of the dancers. When I edited the event I mixed the two nights together to make it into a two camera shoot.

Lizzy & Matt [Santa Cruz Wedding Photography]

2010-12-12T10:04:00.001-08:00

Lizzy and Matt have the kind of loving relationship that everyone wants. Over the past year they have become more than clients to me, I consider them friends. Their wedding was at Mount Madonna Park in Watsonville, CA. They had a rainbow and fall theme with converse shoes. Their cake was by Buttery. It was delicious and also really fun. The coordinator decorated it with sugar leaves, bugs, sticks and a banana slug topper. It was probably my favorite all year.

Great American Music Hall - 11-28-10 [Music Photography]

2010-12-03T20:20:00.001-08:00

I recently had the chance to shoot one of my favorite bands again. This San Francisco show at Great American Music Hall broke off from their cross country tour with Social Distortion. Instead, Lucero headlined with Drag the River. Lucero has been around for over 13 years and tour constantly. Their fans are all "diehards". Every fan I've ever chatted with has a story about how they relate to the music or a time they spoke with or met the band. It's really refreshing to see a band that connects with their fans on that level. I'm no different, I guess I qualify as a Lucero Diehard.

Family Portraits with Holly, Steve and Lance [San Luis Obispo Photography]

2010-12-02T02:56:00.000-08:00

Holly called me for a children/family portrait session for Holiday Greeting Cards. I met them at their beautiful house in Santa Margarita Ranch. Over the years of shooting kids sometimes it's easier and more fun if you just let them be themselves, shot a lot and wait for the right moments. This is why all my portrait session involving younger kids are at least 2 hours. Lance was in a particularly opinionated mood about his wardrobe and which shots he wanted to do. He wanted to play football and needed to wear his "football shirt" and helmet. Eventually we got the helmet off and took a few cute portraits but the helmet shots are really hilarious! Side note: Holly and Steve are the couple that got me started as a wedding photographer 7+ years ago.

Christa's Graduation Session [San Luis Obispo Photography]

2010-12-02T02:45:00.000-08:00

Christa is a Senior at Cal Poly in the Animal Sciences Dept. She wanted a simple headshot session and a couple of portraits with a neighborhood cow for her Graduation announcements. It was really fun working with her. Christa is totally laid back and fun. Bessie the cow ended up getting a little too frisky with me and my camera but it all worked out. Famous last words "They're more afraid of you than you are them."

2010-12-01T18:36:00.000-08:00

Erick and Erin were such a sweet couple. I loved hearing the story of how their relationship grew during the toast. Their "thing" is to pinkie swear, so during the vows they held their pinkies interlocked as a special promise. They had their ceremony at Calvary Chapel with the reception at Memory Gardens. Again we worked with DNA...this time with Evan.

With so many of my favorite things in one wedding I don't know where to start. I met Derek a couple of years back through one of my best friends, John. Derek and I quickly became friends so when he and Sara started planning their wedding they asked me to meet them. With a shoe/truck themed wedding, a dog, succulents, cupcakes, The Canary Hotel Rooftop, Bob Stock DJing, Skylae at Queen Bees providing gorgeousness and several of my very dear friends I was in total wedding photographer heaven!
