Something about February makes me grateful for just a little bit of light through a window.

In the quiet of Winter it’s especially fun to see projects from last year finally come to fruition!
Loved working with @visitnapavalley and being a tourist in my own town, contributing toward their gorgeous new Visitor Magazine. Check out the online version (link in bio) and come visit soon!

So excited to finally see this project out in the world! Much love and appreciation to everyone involved. Congratulations Dr. Mills on your beautiful new website! ❤️❤️❤️

TGIF! Heading into the weekend like... Anyone else? 😉

A beautiful night walking around Downtown Napa for the Napa Lighted Art Festival! Nice to see so many people out to support it and excited that Oscar's school participated. Bundle up and get down there tonight if you can before the rains come! http://donapa.com/lights/

Part of me is painfully quiet and shy. That part thinks it’s nuts to walk into a room full of groomsmen (who have often known each other forever but who I’ve never met), shake some hands and start photographing.
Another part of me loves the chaos: the colorful stories, the volume, the rap music playing off someone’s iPhone, the stale smell of alcohol and aftershave, counters cluttered with a strange still life of beer cans and Red Bulls, burger wrappers, chapstick, nutter butters, cigarettes, 17 cell phones. Is it weird that all this makes me happy? I can’t tell anymore... If you’re going into that situation you have to leave “Quiet and Shy” at the door and get to work. I’m really grateful for the person photography encourages (actually...forces) me to be. Quiet and Shy likes January. But this other part of me can’t wait for wedding season to start again.
Thanks to my good friend @kenvialephotography for bringing me along on so many adventures over the years. ;)

BottleRock 2019!

This is always such an interesting time of year where I sadly finish with 2018 clients and shift my energy toward booking future weddings. Talking to new clients used to feel more like speed-dating but these days I feel pretty comfortable with who I am and what I can offer…I think I’m a great fit for a lot of people and understand when people go with a different photographer. I like my life and the people in it.

When I talk to potential clients about their plans they are often apologetic that their wedding is not going to be huge or that they don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera or it’s a second wedding and they don’t want a lot of getting ready shots. I think by the time they’ve found me they’ve been on the internet way too long and their idea of what their wedding Should Be has changed into something very different from who they are and starting to feel out of their control.
It does not have to be this way. I promise.

So it made me want to ask you guys: What do you remember about your wedding? What are you glad you did? What do you wish you’d allowed more time for? How would you plan it differently now? What are your favorite pictures? I’d sincerely love to hear your thoughts and I’m sure these new-to-planning-weddings people would love to hear them as well.
Thanks for helping me to keep things real. ❤️❤️❤️

Raising a glass to 2018. This year broke my heart and made me believe over and over again. As much as I love my new bright red planner with its crisp, promising pages, this last year has taught me that preparing and planning only get you so far…that life throws crazy challenges and opportunities at you and you have to keep your eyes (and heart) open.
So thank you, 2018, and everyone in it. I am so grateful. And I hope I did right by you. ❤️ Here’s to making and sharing more memories together in the coming year.

In this often hectic world I love that we put aside time for beauty, for ritual, for days that aren’t like other days.
