I'm a sucker for anything that is inspiring ... who isn't?! I'm a true beliver in the slogan "whatever it takes" .. it's sorta a motto I live by. Recently a dream of mine came true. Not only a dream, but a goal that I had set for myself and I have to say and want to spread that it is so totally true that you CAN do whatever it is that you set your heart and mind to. I think I always "thought" that was true .. but really didn't have any sound proof ... recently I got that proof and it brought me to tears.

I read this quote today from a book of inspirational quotes ... "If we did all the things that we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselvees." Thomas Edison said that.

It's so so true. Believe in yourself and you can totally make anything happen.

Little Miss. Celeste

This evening I photographed little Miss. Celeste ... who I might add is getting some new teeth! She amused us for a short while ... so we snagged these fun shots of her ...

doesn't she have the eyes you couldn't say no to?!!

Congrats to Chase and Ayper

Chase and Ayper recently got married at the Monte Verde Inn in Auburn and it was a perfect Friday evening ... the weather was beautiful, the location was beautiful and the bride and groom and their guests were beautiful! Here is a sneak peak ...






Beautiful details ...

The ceremony was so comfortable ... as the sweet flower girls came down the isle the guests stood in anticipation on the beautiful Ayper







The cake and the ambiance was so elegant



At the end of the evening Ayper changed into a sexy black dress and she and Chase danced to the wonderful music ...

Jason and Maren ... way 50's

Jason and Maren ... I love them so much! They are getting married in August and although I photograph for them almost every other month ... we took some time out to do an engagement session with just the two of them and Maren had the vision of a 50's theme and I think we totally got it ....




I'm not sure that it get's any better than this ..

Megan and Derrick

Last weekend I got to spend a great evening in San Francisco with Megan and Derrick who are getting married in July. We first went to the Palace of Fine Arts, which I totally love and am sorta sentimental to as I shot my first wedding there.



I'm a big fan of smooching ... we saw this fountain on the sideyard of an awesome house right accross the street from the park ... I couldn't resist ...



After that we got in the car and headed to the Marina District ... an area I truly wished I lived ....



We then motored down the piers and had some great fun





Onto North Beach for a great dinner and what trip to North Beach wouldn't be complete without a great Canoli







Then after a great meal and conversation we headed to the famous Painted Laidies in Alamo Square and got these great pics ... No flash my photographers friends!!!
