Sharing a Before and After. So much of photography is in the editing…so choose a photographer based on their perspective…what they see as beautiful.

“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ~ Ansel Adams

I don’t have enough words to describe how much I enjoyed meeting the Pope family and working with them. From beginning to end, they were intriguing in every way. I am beyond blessed that God regularly puts the most amazing humans on my path. And boy oh boy, I got work on the ocean…and caught a beautiful sunset for this precious family!
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say: I used everything you gave me. ~ Erma Bombeck

This session with Saydee at this very location will be forever etched in my mind as a GIFT! It was a moment in time I don’t think I can ever duplicate. When Saydee led me to this amazing spot at Bodega Bay, my heart EXPLODED! I thought I would have to travel to Iceland for wet green moss and images like these! WoW! Cannot tell you how full my heart was for standing in such a magnificent place…working with such an exquisite subject…doing what I absolutely LOVE! These images mean the world to me and they are beyond anything I’ve ever created…
Another beautiful dress I collected from Ragg Mopp Vintage in Silverlake, CA.
Here in You, I find shelter. Captivated by the splendor of Your face…my secret place.

Saydee. She’s graceful. She’s beautiful. She’s kind. She’s adventurous. She’s one in a million…
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. / Emerson

Spent a magical day with the one and only, Saydee. First, we took in the rugged beauty of Bodega Bay, CA…then we ended at this little farm in Petaluma with a horse and two little ponies. Unbelievable!
