Oak Farms Winery Restful Night with Friends and Hummingbirds

I was invited by friends, Jim and Jodi Fecteau to an evening event at Oak Farms Winery. I believe the night was called "Stress-Free at Oak Farms".   There was music playing in the background with a hired pianist playing on a baby grand and a bass player.  We sat at an outdoor table and the trees above us had hummingbird feeders as the hummingbirds gathered for us to relax and watch.  Then they served us wine, homemade apple pie and ice cream as we watched the sunset. It was a perfect summer evening in Lodi.  Warm but a cool breeze to enjoy.

I took the opportunity to capture a few photos of the flowers on their property.  Jodi said I should bring my camera so I'm glad I did. Thank you Jim and Jodi for a nice evening.

Vintage themed photo shoot!

I had a great time with the Siken/Chacon girls for a themed shoot last weekend.   I really wanted to shoot a vintage theme with pretty girls, vintage clothes and fun props I found. (going out of business antique store...scored the suitcase)  Justine had the perfect dress and shoes which added to the fun of the shoot. Pam wore a dress she bought for her honeymoon. Jessayln decided she wanted in on the action so she got in a few of the shots too.  It made it nice to capture the three of them together. 

You too can have a shoot like this and invite a group of friends, sister, mom. See below my new adventure just for you.   Limited time only!

Random happenings!

I thought I'd post a little random happenings.  Always having the camera ready to go to capture those moments. 

Amazing Valedictorian Senior Alisabeth Cotton

Alisabeth and her family have been super busy with cherry season so we finally pinned a time down last week to capture some lovely images for Alisabeth and family.  It was such a joy working with her. Wearing her pretty white tutu that she wore in a ballet was something special she added to the shoot.  She has poise and grace which I'm sure she learned from taking many ballet classes over the years. I hope when she comes home from college to visit  we can do another photo shoot just for fun.  What ya say Alisabeth?

Here are some of them that captured her beauty and amazing smile.

Prom/Alisabeth

Took a few minutes prior to Alisabeth's pre-prom dinner at her home for a quick photo shoot of the beautiful sweet Alisabeth.  I'll be taking her senior portraits soon and I can't wait.
