{Stephanie + Ross} Sullivan Winery . St. Helena Wedding Photography

It’s always a joy to work with clients you love. Then there’s the vendors…makes a huge difference when you can bounce creative and positive energy off of your team. What do you get when two worlds collide? Stephanie + Ross’s wedding! 11 12 13 8 7 4  2

These two did it right! They put the fun first and were so amazing to work with! Stephanie, a dynamic wedding planner of Cole Drake Events pulled in a few details that I just loved; such as her shoes; complete with node to her husband’s home country and a caricature artist.1918 206 5141615 1715

{any day now…} Maternity Photography . Napa Valley

This gorgeous mom-to-be is expecting her little one any day now. I am so excited that I will be photographing their wedding (and will get to meet the new arrival) in a few months! Love her beautiful dress?…well, you’ll have to request one from Grandma because that is just what Shawna did! Impressed? Yes…I was too!
