SONOMA STYLE WEDDING SHOOT : JACUZZI FAMILY VINEYARDS

You may recall, a few weeks back, I headed to Sonoma for a Style Shoot at sister wineries Cline & Jacuzzi. (Wanna see the 1st installment? Our elegant, indoor ensemble at Cline Cellars can be found HERE!)

Following our indoor shoot, we headed right across Arnold Drive to Jacuzzi Family Winery - overlooking the flatlands & vineyards as far as the eye can see, I found this statuesque gentleman. He's bold & confidant...and kept me company for just a moment while our 2nd location was set up by the ever-talented Lisa Brown!

As I approached, my eyes landed on the most stunning delight! While I've been waiting & waiting for an 'Alice in Wonderland' Themed Wedding to land in my lap, I'll just have to relish these images in the meantime - it's the closest we've come! LOVE IT!

CHEERS to a beautiful opportunity - and many more to come! xo

BRIAN : UKIAH HIGH SENIOR PORTRAITS : HOPLAND

It's been a VERY long time since I've taken my own Senior Portraits...2012 marks 20 yrs to be exact! I recall heading to an indoor Studio in a ladies' home out in the Albion area somewhere...not sure, exactly, what to expect.

I'd actually NEVER taken professional photos of me - outside of those silly School ones in the gym!

With a couple horrific outfits in tow...a positively scary hair-style done up...the rest is now documented for all eternity! I'm sure some of you out there still have that photo-copied Wallet picture floating around somewhere...as I just couldn't afford to order many from the Photographer herself...wow...times have changed!

Now? We have FUN! Well, maybe I'm the one having all the fun - - but, it's GREAT!!

An extra special THANK YOU to Brian & his mom, Debbie, for sharing the day with me! We 1st met back in June of 2011 when Niels & I shot his big-sisters GORGEOUS Wedding at Brutocao Cellars! So, for me, it's really fun to get to see each other again & feel like part of the Family! Baby Brian's all grown up! xo

Sorry it was sooo cold out...77' on Fri...58' on Sat!? Who knew? But, THANK YOU for being such a Trooper!

Oh! Heck...for those of you just dying to see...here's mine! Go Timberwolves! "-)

SONOMA WEDDING STYLE SHOOT : CLINE CELLARS

Driving through the almost GLOWING rolling hills of green yesterday throughout Sonoma County, I must've talked myself out of stopping to take photos no less than 10 times! Blue skies, newborn animals - it was just so peaceful & breathtaking!

Then, I pulled up to Cline Cellars - which is nestled right in the middle of all that amazement!! What a GORGEOUS Venue to spend the afternoon with past + new friends!!

For those of you that have taken the time to reach out & chat about Photography with me...you know I'm not a big fan of Model Shoots. I've never done one...

I feel Brides should get an honest vision of what to expect from their Photographer - - not perfect 'Brides' in perfect Locations with their perfect 'Grooms' in perfect conditions with perfect Instructors helping them find the perfect camera settings...you get the idea! "-)

BUT - - doing a Style Shoot? Sure! Let's give it a shot!

Now...certainly this will help you get a perfect idea of what to expect should you hire this Team of phenomenal Vendors for your perfect day!! "-)

Thank you all for including me in your vision & I'm so looking forward to working with you again soon! ~ Stay tuned! Our fun & funky outdoor shoot at Jacuzzi Winery is coming soon! xo

(head on over & see it HERE!)
