Look ma! I’m in Napa!

(Taking a break from vacation photos…)

A friend and I decided to wander around Napa today and just shoot. It’s pretty fun to look at this town through photographer eyes instead of as a resident. What I shot today: Random lightpoles with funny stickers, the old building that I’d kill to have as a studio, people enjoying Angele’s patio, the striking colors of the Fish Story patio, the cool signs at Morimoto, the super comfy chairs at Tyler Florence, the river walk, the doors at the Uptown and random details throughout downtown.

Las Vegas, NV – July 6 – 11, 2011

Ah, Vegas. Finally the part of the vacation that felt like a vacation. I spent every day at the pool (until we got kicked out almost every day because of lightning), reading my book and sweatin’ up a storm. The good ol’ Excalibur now has an adults only pool which ROCKED. I hung out with some coworkers in my 5 days in Vegas, went to some random clubs & bars, met a cool guy from Michigan at one of the bars in NYNY and pretty much did nothing. It was great.


Zion National Park – July 6, 2011

After a quick nap in the Kaibob National Forest, I made my way from the Grand Canyon back to Hurricane, UT. Zion National Park is only about 30 minutes from Hurricane, so since I was *right there* I couldn’t pass it up! I headed up to Zion before heading back to Vegas.


Grand Canyon – July 6, 2011

Wednesday morning, July 6, I left Hurricane, UT, for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It’s quite an impressive hole in the ground. I can’t wait to get to the South Rim to compare notes.

(Someday I’ll figure out WordPress. Please excuse the silly gallery post. Just click on the photo to open the gallery and then you can scroll through!)


Dan & Michelle’s Engagement Session!

Yes – this is post #2. You’ll recognize some of the same photos, but I’ve now moved my blog to WordPress so I wanted to test out a new photo size…

Canon 5D Mark II
24-105mm
I’ve known Dan since I was 19….so like 2 years now? Ha. Just kidding. I’m thrilled to see him so happy with Michelle – and she’s so awesome! Match made in heaven, those two. We had a great day of shooting around the Valley, with all of the fall colors and amazing clouds.

Lucas Pools – Post 2

More pools….


Lucas Pools – Post 1

Canon 5D Mark II
24-105 L Series Lens

I love being commissioned. It makes my subject so focused that it allows me to use my creative energy around that subject instead of coming up with everything all at once. I really enjoy it! Lucas Pools will feature pools they have done around Napa Valley. Pool 1 is below…my favorite photo is the first one…

Thank you again to Colorful Harvest for sending me purple artichokes! These worked out perfectly for my shoot and I am so grateful to them for that. Oh and they were delicious….extra hearty.
