Stefanie & John

As promised, here is the engagement shoot we did in Calistoga at Castello di Amorosa with Stefanie and John. It was such a fun shoot, if only we could have dialed back the heat a bit it would have been perfect. John kept Stefanie smiling and laughing the whole time, which  you will see below. Thank you guys for the great shoot and best of luck with everything! As you may have noticed from the watermark, we have something new in the works. More to come :)

Sweet Sunshine

The torrential downpours this past week were so crazy and completely out of character for us here in good old California. If I wanted unpredictable rain during the summer I would move to the East Coast! Which I couldn't. And not because I'm a hater but because I can't handle real weather and I really really like Mexican food. Like a lot. I don't know what I would do with myself all snowed in and burrito-hungry. Disaster!

Oh, wait, I know what I would do. I would move back here and go straight for the carne asada.

Anyways, I'm so glad the weather has changed for the better and we are expecting sunny times on this long Fourth of July weekend! Speaking of sun, here are some pictures from a sunny winter day Stephen and I spent in Sonoma shooting Tannis and his wife Sarah. They were so great! We drove up without a set place in mind and they spent the whole day with us and brought their vintage truck to boot! Are you supposed to call trucks vintage? Cause I just did.

 We both took this one, my arms aren't quite long enough.

And these are some of my favorite photos that Stephen took.

 

Hope you have a great Fourth of July! I have some patriotic recipes in the plans so I will have yumminess to share next week.
