For His Eyes!!

As you might have seen on our website, we specialize in a style of photography we like to call "For His Eye's". Intimate portraits that Bride's like to do as a wedding gift, or birthday, or just for fun!

Our predicament has always been "where to do these portraits!?" We refuse to be the boring studio and backdrop photographer! Obviously we realize privacy and comfort are a big part of making these images work. But so many venue's don't allow these types of shoots or want $500 to use their facility, making it unaffordable for our Brides!

Finally, we found a cute little bed and breakfast in Loomis! We were all set to do our first shoot there, with Kristin, our August 29th Bride, when they called me last minute to tell me they were closing doors and were not honoring any reservations!! :(

BIG BUMMER!

So Kristin and two of her bridesmaids and I just "wang" it out at Gibson Ranch! Not very private, but we still got some cute stuff! We'll have just enough time to have it printed and framed to surprise Donny on the big day! (luckily, Donny doesn't know about our blog! tee hee)

So, we're back to the drawing board brainstorming cute and private places to do our little shoots! If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open! :)

As soon as we get this in the works, I'll be sending out a newsletter to our brides, so keep a look out for that!

Here's some shots of our favorite..."decent" shots, that hopefully don't offend any of our viewers! ;) Oh, and much thanks to Kristin, Jen, and Tina for being so brave to let me post a few of these! Ya'll ROCK!

Michelle and Casey 8/17/08

This past Sunday we had the pleasure of capturing Michelle and Casey's big day up in beautiful Squaw Valley, at High Camp! So up we went like a bazillion feet in the air in this little cart attached to some rope in the sky, didn't seem like the greatest invention to me, but apparently we made it there and back in one piece. Phew!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. The night before there were thunder storms, which brought in some gorgeous clouds, which photographed quite lovely!

You might remember Michelle and Casey from their E session last month. They come to the marriage both with two children each. They make a family of six and couldn't be sweeter.

We had such a great time hanging out with them and capturing their day. The day concluded by 4:30, just in time for the light to set just enough for us to take the family and couple out for some final formals!

We couldn't be happier with the results, take a look!
















yummy cupcakes!

Be nice now!





They REeeeaally like those cupcakes!





The Haas Family



















Brand new, never been done before, I love it, how 'bout you?

SLIDESHOWS!

So I've been dablleling with the idea of creating slide shows for our clients to view and share with their family and friends...and I just created our first one, and you know what, I think these are a keeper! Pretty cute! Have a look!

Joan and Manny

Tuesday evening I shot Joan and Manny's E session in San Francisco! We had a great time! We traveled around the San Francisco area, hitting some of the major spots, and some less familiar! Joan and Manny met in high school, they are in fact high school sweethearts since 1998! I told Manny "it's about time!" ;) We'll be shooting their wedding in San Fran on November 8th! They are a very fun and creative couple! I can't wait.

















aren't they sweet!?
