Yesterday I attended the first of a series of summer lunches in the Carlton Cellars vineyard. Everything was perfect and for the most part the weather was dry! Paul Parenteau prepared an Oregon Lamb roulade that really was divine. The menu was carefully crafted to complement the delicious wines that wine maker Dave Grooters offers through his vineyard Carlton Cellars. If you are fan of Pinot Noir you must sample his wine.
Last year I photographed these exquisite children's parents when they were married at the old church. The baby of course had not yet made her appearance. These girls were a lot of fun and very active!
I was so excited to photograph Lisa's baby. Nathan is such a doll and so good natured. I had the honor of photographing Lisa and Jeff's only a couple of years ago. Wow, it doesn't seem possible that so much time has passed.
As part of my Cleveland High School Fundraiser, I photographed this delightful family and their 2 amazingly well behaved dogs.
The other day I thought it was quite timely to photograph a CPA as we are now, or at least some of us, are scrambling to get our taxes off our to do list. If you do need a CPA, I would highly recommend Asraf Molvi.
I have been working on a very fun project for the YWCA. Partnering with the creative agency Helsinqi, I photographed a number of people whose lives have been positively impacted by the services the YWCA offers such as their mentoring and domestic violence programs and Camp Westwind. Camp Westwind holds a special place in my heart as well. Over the last 10 years I have spent Labor Day weekend with family and friends celebrating its magical beauty.
Recently I photographed this darling red head baby. He was awake most of the time, obviously he did not want to miss out on any of the fun.
Recently I photographed samples that Deepra Kalia creates for her company, Filling Spaces . Her work is just exquisite. Please take the time to visit her website.
Joaquin had definite ideas on how he wanted to approach his senior portrait session. I am always open to new ideas and find that when working collaboratively the end result is always rewarding.
I am so behind schedule in posting my latest work. So I am going to try to catch up. I did want to share Jas's images because she was so delightful to work with even though I did these about a month ago.
I had been looking forward to photographing Katy and Stephen's wedding all fall. I love photographing vineyard weddings and especially when the couple are both beautiful and very much in love. And it didn't rain!
