I love photography! Photographing weddings is my favorite . . . I guess because I'm a romantic. Every wedding I shoot is as if for the first time - it never gets old. How can one not be touched at witnessing and recording the ultimate expression of love and commitment between two people! My goal is to capture the joy, the excitement, the love . . . in a free flowing style - never obtrusive or contrived . . . and to produce images that display flair, an eye for detail, an artistic sensibility and tell a story.
Of course because I love people and their stories, I love providing a visual interpretation of them. As well as weddings, I also photograph seniors, families, pets - anything involving people! I also do photo restoration, freelance work, and fine art photography. I have won awards for several of my images. At the present I cover all of San Luis Obispo County and beyond.
I live in Atascadero, Ca., located on the beautiful Central Coast of California, with my husband Rex, his dog Zoe, and my boston terrier Bella.

Friday, March 4, 2011 at 02:37PM I have moved over to WordPress with my photoblog. For some reason Squarespace doesn't make it easy to export my images from here to there. So for the time being I will keep this blogsite for archiving my past posts and images . . .

Friday, August 13, 2010 at 12:16PM There are many advantages to shopping locally in this age of the internet. Personal service, assurance of quality, advice, conveniences, etc.
When it comes to wedding planning, obviously some of the vendors must be local, such as your florist and baker, to name a few. I recently met Cleo who owns The Bridal Boutique in Atascadero. I found her to be charming and knowledgable. Keep her shop in mind when you are ready to find the wedding dress of your dreams.

Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 07:07PM This Pismo Beach wedding was all about family, friends, and fun! The ceremony was special, the time spent with the bridesmaids and groomsmen was a blast. There was some private time with the bride and groom -- and then it was time to Party!! Each bridesmaid and groomsman made their entrance dancing to the beat -- and then came the bride and groom - a prelude to the festivity of the evening to come!!
Adding a special flair to the festivities was Kramer - Premier DJs and Lighting -http:// kramerdjs.com!
