LUMIX Pro Services…. It’s pretty important that we have insurance on our cant-live-without items in our lives. And it’s good to have a good emergency back-up plan for when something unfortunate happens- like AAA for your vehicle if you ever break down. When you need transportation, you just need [safe] transportation, right? And there are…
One of my favorite kinds of sessions to photograph is engagements! Of course, as a “hopeless romantic”, I totally dig capturing the magic of a couple in love! I typically try to choose a location that is special to them or perhaps doing something they love to do together. I had the immense honor of…
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a mere snapshot that was quickly defended by a sweet defense– a comment to the tune of, “this is the last photo we have with mom. It was just out by the parking lot, but she looks so happy!” Don’t we all have a snapshot of…

Well, three years ago today I watched a most amazing movie, that inspired this project. A movie I will tell you more about later. But tonight I want to share one of my favorite vignettes of MY City, Sacramento, California. Nestled between the old and the new, the Downtown Sheraton and the Sacramento Convention Center…
Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s one of my very favorite holidays and I typically send out lots of cards, or at least texts to my loved ones and friends. It’s just a sweet excuse to celebrate LOVE. Love of people or love of anything right? Like COLOR!! I started on a new book about my trip…
