Family

Marco, Napa, CA – September 2017

The Ruygt Family, Napa, CA – August 2017

The Felsher Family, St Helena, CA – August 2017

A few weeks ago I met a lovely family for a photoshoot at the top of Spring Mountain, on their family’s property. I wished I could have spent more time with this close-knit group!

Riorden & Tim – May 2017

Riorden W.S. Dickson – May 2017

Our second boy was born on May 6th, 2017. Though instructed to rest, I managed to snag a few photos of our little bundle the next afternoon. He and his brother Marco were taken with each other immediately. 🙂

Women’s March, Napa, CA – January 21 2017

It was a real rush to take part in the Women’s March held in Downtown Napa. We had over 4,000 people marching! My husband and son also took part in the march, and it was wonderful to see other children getting a taste of resistance and standing up for what’s right. Of course, marching left very little room for photo taking but I did manage a few snaps.

Laura & David, Napa, CA – December 2016

Mid-December brought an engaged couple to me for a photo session: my good friend Laura and her fiance, David. I had been thrilled when she told me of their engagement, and was equally excited to share this part of the process with them! Though quite chilly that day, we made good use of the natural light surrounding the property they own up Dry Creek Road in Napa.

Arturo & Robert, Yountville, CA – July 2016

ChamYard, Oxbow Commons, Napa, CA – June 2016

Baby Almond, Santa Rosa, CA – March 2016

The moment that I found out my friends were having their fourth child, I knew I wanted to help them out with photos, and I was honored to be asked. It was absolute joy to spend time in the little baby world, newly arrived at home, and just beginning to get an idea of the world.

It’s another one of those times where I consider adding to my little family, just because I miss some of those parts – the tiny toes, the funny arm flail as they learn their limbs, skin to skin contact…

Gelardi Family, Yountville, CA – December 2015

Peterson Family, Yountville, CA – December 2015

Scribe Winery, Napa Valley, CA – November 2015

Spent an afternoon with friends and family at Scribe Winery, eating yummy cheese and drinking delicious wine. Beautiful fall day.

Agador Spartacus, Napa, CA – November 2015

We recently added to our family by adopting an adorable rescue puppy! He flew into California from a rescue in Guatemala called Unidos Para los Animales. As soon as I saw that he was from Guatemala then I knew I had to name him Agador Spartacus, though I suspect we will eventually call him Aggie. 🙂

Doyle Family, Napa, CA – October 2015

This red-haired cutie is Connor, who is turning 1 in a few weeks! Thank you to Rachael and Mike for the sweet morning photographing their adorable family.
