Boudoir Photography San Francisco Bay Area | New Studio Photos!

So the blog has been pretty quiet lately… I promise I have a good excuse… The new studio!!! Got the keys towards the end of October and its been a work in progress ever since! But its 90% complete… just need photos on the wall. You would think that would be the first thing up right? ;) Anyways, I had my first test shoot in the studio last week and it was awesome to say the least! There a several new sets… a new bed and a dressing room that my lovely blog readers helped me decorate. Here’s a sneak peek of the studio, aka the intimates test shoot. More photos of the actual space to come when there are photos on the wall.

Please remember I NEVER post photos of intimate session’s clients faces without prior approval. Im all about my clients being 100% comfortable at all times!

Napa Valley Wedding Photography | Karl and Subadra

One of my favorite things about a wedding day is when a couple opts to do a first sight. It not only helps the timeline of the wedding but it allows for a small time alone together without the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. When Karl and Subadra had their first sight Karl did the happy dance. I have to say it was THE cutest thing EVER! She looked stunning and I think it really started the day off well ;) After taking a few portraits in the olive grove at Auberge du Soleil we took a quick trip down the road to find some vine with yummy fall colors. And that we did! We then went back for their ceremony which was a blend of both Western and Indian traditions. After dinner the dance floor was on fire… you two can dance!

Site: Auberge du Soleil

Flowers: Garden Party

This is the Mangala sutra that Karl placed around Subadras neck during the ceremony. In Western culture this would the equivalent of placing a ring on each others fingers. The most important part of an Indian wedding ceremony is when Karl places this necklace around her.

Jessica & Brigham: Ocean Cliff, Newport RI

I was so excited to arrive at Ocean Cliff and See Jessica, I knew she was going to be gorgeous I was also very excited to meet her dad, Rod and wedding planer extraordinaire. I arrived and was greeted by Brigham with a big umbrella. I would use the word dashing to describe Brigham and the rest of his guys. I made my way upstairs and there was the dress hanging in the big window. Fantastic! Jessica was flawless. The bridesmaids all looked liked runway models. One great moment was when Jessica made her way down the stairs at Ocean Cliff with friends and family eagerly awaiting her entrance. Yes it was raining again but that was fine because we had rain boots! Yes rain boots. Jessica found pink rain boots, which matched her pink umbrellas. She came prepared! I have been wanting to do rain boot pictures for a while so I was excited to finally get the chance.

One moment that always makes me a little teary is when the father of the bride gives away his daughter. Now that I am a mom I will be a mess when that moment comes for my daughter so when photographing Rod giving Jessica away I got a little teary behind the camera.  What can I say I am a big emotional mush ball!!

The wedding was breathe taking I can’t say enough. We received a horn toot from the Queen Marry , which had been sitting in Newport’s harbor. We did manage to get out side in between rainfalls for a few quick pictures.

It was a great cocktail hour and an even better reception filled with fragrant flowers and smiling faces. I am so happy I was part of this day. It really was an honor to be included!
I hope everyone danced their butts off and enjoyed the rest of the night. And I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them!IMG_4672

Napa Valley Wedding Photographer | Kendra & Octavio

One thing that melts my heart at a wedding is when couples sing to one another…. not only did Kendra and Octavio sing to each other, but both of their parents sang to them during their parent dances too. Adorable.

And for the record… I would like to thank mother nature for holding off on the rain until cocktail hour ended. Perfect timing. Thanks!

November Print Sales Will go to Charity

Give the gift of photography and donate to charity at the same time!

Last year I was inspired by Anna Kuperberg, a local bay area photographer who donated her November print sales to charity. So for the month of November 2009 70% of print and canvas sales for Adeline & Grace West will go to two charities. The two charities I selected are close to my heart:

One of my sweetest clients this year, Michael Irvine, volunteers at Childrens Cancer Community of Sonoma. He does a fundraiser, walk, charity event, auction, etc nearly every weekend and his tireless efforts help children and their families living with cancer.  This local charity helps make kids lives better one step at a time with no charge to the families in need. 50% of my print sales will go to this local charity. More information can be found below about this charity.

As some of you may know one of my best friends passed away this past September from a brain aneurysm. The remaining 20% of my print sales will be donated to The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. Its my hope that money donated will aid in research that will save lives or raise awareness. More information can be found below about this charity.

Wedding at CIA St Helena | Shannon & Jim

To say that Shannon and Jim are thrill seekers would be an understatement. The day that Jim proposed to Shannon they took a bike ride. This wasnt any old bike ride, this was a bike ride titled the Death Ride, a 130 mile road ride that starts at 5am with 5 mountain passes and 15,000 feet of elevation gain.

At the very end of the ride it started raining and hailing, but they made it! Even though it was raining Jim convinced Shannon to leave the refuge of the dry tent to go take a picture of the pass they biked up. It was there that Jim asked Shannon to marry him! I cant believe Jim biked 130 miles with a ring in his pocket.. the suspense must have been killing him!

When setting a wedding date they just couldn’t fathom waiting to get married until next spring… so they planned the whole wedding in two months! Seeing everything put together by Napa Valley Celebrations and Valley Flora you would have had no idea. It was stunning! The wedding ceremony and reception took place at the Culinary Institute of America at St Helena.

The reception was full of good food and some insane dancing! At one point Shannon was even serenaded by Jim and the boys. Ill refrain from posting photos but lets just say it was hilarious!

All photos will be viewable here at the end of the week!

on with the photos….

Right before dinner a chef came down the stairs banging a pan announcing that “Dinner was served!!!” Jim and Shannon led their guests up the stairs to the entrance of the historic barrel room. It was here that Shannon’s father was given this huge mallet to bang on the door for the servers to let them in for dinner. It was then that the door was slid open to reveal some the amazing transformation of the barrel room. Traci Steuteville of Napa Valley Celebrations and Polly of Valley Flora designed 11 different table scapes. I have no idea how many different flower arrangements Valley Flora created but it was impressive!

The icing on the cake that night was the dancing, as I mentioned before. Heres a video to show you just how cute the father daughter dance was!
