I have a piece in four parts that will be a part of this show. This is the first personal work I've shown in a very long time and I am super excited.

Wildflowers of Mendocino.

I love being a wedding photographer in Mendocino! Everyday, every wedding is as unpredictable as the sudden bloom of a field of wildflowers along the side of a hill.

Timeless Love.

Life begins when you're in love
You have the whole world before you

When you've found the one

The only one to love and adore you

And when you learn the sigh of it

The long of it, the cry of it

Life begins when Cupid wins

And you're in love

Good Day Sunshine

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine

I need to laugh and when the sun is out

I've got something I can laugh about

I feel good in a special way

I'm in love and it's a sunny day.

We take a walk, the sun is shining down

Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine

Then we'd lie beneath the shady tree

I love her and she's loving me

She feels good, she knows she's looking fine

I'm so proud to know she is mine.

MORNING HARVEST

Little red jewels hidden amongst the tall grass. Sunken treasure with leafy tops. Sweet scented blossoms, the gusts of honor for tomorrows tea parties. And the little fairies the share in the bounty.

A beautiful morning at home in the backyard...

A small intimate affair in the edible gardens of Stanford Inn by the Sea just south of the Village of Mendocino. Everything was so tasteful and so very lovingly humane.

Just You, Me and This Old Barn

Liz and Randy had their wedding at Liz's parents house which has just been newly built and the gardens lovingly detailed specifically for their Big Day. The couple seemed like old friends and very much in love. Everything about the day was easy. The bride was beautiful the ceremony spiritual, the four children that made up the wedding party, so well behaved, the champagne flowed and lots and lots of kisses. But photographically, my favorite part of the day was this great old barn next door. It made for such a fabulous backdrop for the couples first portrait.

Incredible, fall inspired floral arrangements created by the wonderful Rosa of L&R Farm

"Thanks for the pictures! They look amazing... We really enjoyed having you there. Thanks again! Liz"

Lisa and Philip are extraordinary people with enormous hearts, and it showed through all day long at their wedding. Their friends and family, the simple spirituality of their ceremony, the ease of their laughter and the creative spirit that pervaded their celebration.
