in Cali

October 25, 2008 – 11:44 pm

I’m in Sonoma Valley now, nearing bedtime at the end of a long day of shooting. It is absolutely beautiful here, and hot! 85 degrees today and expected to stay this way until next weekend. The weather could not be more gorgeous.

I had three awesome shoots today with some really great clients and their really great dogs, and although not ready to do sneak-peeks of any of the dog shots, wanted to share with you one ‘environmental’ shot from each location. 

Tomorrow is more shooting- some for editorial and one more private client. And some for myself!

BTW: for those who wanted to meet up with me in SF on this trip- whether client or friend or colleague, who weren’t able to due to my time constraints and their schedule, it looks good that I will be coming back down to the bay area in January to do some commercial photography and several private client shoots in/near Marin County and San Francisco. I have no idea what the weather is like at that time of year but hopefully it will be good! I LOVE San Francisco so I am happy to come down.

Hope everyone’s weekends are going great, wherever you are, and before I completely unplug on Sunday night I will try and schedule some posts for you to enjoy next week!

Sanger’s shoot location this morning. Can you say WOW? :-)

Max’s shoot location. The most fennel I have ever seen growing in one place ever. The air was scented with the stuff. Yumm.

Heaven’s shoot location in her very own vineyards. 

Happy weekend!

Destination sessions Sonoma County CA October 25th + 26th, 2008

October 1, 2008 – 2:03 pm

As if I haven’t been busy enough with client work and workshops, over the past few weeks I have been planning the details of a little trip down to Sonoma/Napa. I will be flying down to SF on Friday October 24th and driving up to Sonoma Valley to do photography for some private clients near Santa Rosa on Saturday the 25th at a small estate winery. 

I will be in California for 7 days, mainly for some long-overdue R&R, but have set aside the entire weekend for client photography.

If you or someone you know lives in the area (SF, Sonoma, Napa, Greater San Francisco Bay area), and is interested in scheduling a session with me on the 25th or 26th of October, please send me an email and let me know. I am taking a *very* limited number of sessions while there so that I can have a Sonoma-in-the-fall-induced zen-like calm color every day that I am there.

**Please note that ALL sessions will be done in or near Santa Rosa, Sonoma or Napa.**

Oh, and lest you think you need to sell a kidney or something to work with me, this totally isn’t the case! :-)

Every client whose dog I photograph will receive a super cool little gift that is only for my most special clients- something that I don’t release to the general public. Oooh, I can’t wait. 

To forward this post to a friend, just click on the title which will place the post on it’s own page.

I am more excited about this trip than words can express and I can’t wait to see the resulting shots of dogs among the fall colored grapes and vines and beautiful rolling hills of Sonoma. Also SO looking forward to taking some time off and relaxing. I have been working hard on my business non-stop for years and it’s time for a little break. Sipping wine on a picnic blanket under a tree sounds like heaven to me. A good girlfriend is flying down from Seattle with me and we will be renting a convertible at the airport and driving up to the wine country. Cannot Wait!! You can bet I will be sharing photos here after I return. 

Some images I have been using for inspiration:
