PERSONAL | Thirty in Twenty Eleven

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

About a month ago, I turned the big 3-0!  We partied it up at the Harbor Cafe on 7th and had a band come play for a few hours. Totally recommend the harbor cafe for intimate parties.  It includes staff, full no host bar, clean up and food if you want or you can bring your own.  Here are a few from the last minute theme my sister in-law put togeteher.. hula-tiki-pirate?!

Slow dance with the hubby.

Soccer moms.

Waterpolo teammates from college!

No party is complete without a cake fight…

Good Times xoxo

NEWBORN SESSION | Welcome June

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Here is the blessed new little June, who arrived in… you guessed it, June.  So sweet.

VENDOR LOVE | Companion Bakery

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

Companion Bakeshop moved into the vacant spot near Another Bike Shop off Mission.  Starting from a simple commercial space that sold their fresh breads at farmers markets, Jeremy and his wife, Erin have now expanded to a shop serving fresh baked goods of all kinds and great coffee.  They exclusively serve Lulu’s coffee.  Yum!  When I first popped in that morning, they had the fresh loaves of dough covered with towel and ready to go into the brick oven.  That is what really made me want to go grab my camera.  That and their drip coffee.  I thought it would be fun to photograph some drip coffee.  I love that a beach cruiser was parked out front when I arrived and I was able to get some sun flare shining on their sign.  It so encapsulates the sunny Santa Cruz lifestyle.   Check out the sweet write up in the Sentinel to learn more and go check out their beautiful fresh new space for yourself!

Hard at work making a tart crust from scratch.

VENDOR LOVE | Saratoga Country Club: Featuring T-Short

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

I had the privilege to shoot for Tom Vo last weekend, who I endearingly refer to as T-Short.  He brings a ladder with him everywhere and is always looking at surroundings for a lift.  Speaking of lifts… here he is in the elevator ride up to the boys room.  Show time.

We always have a blast working together, especially when you get a fun wedding party like this one.  Here are a few from last weekend.

MARRIED | A Wedding in PA

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

One week later, we all headed back to Pennsylvania to do the REAL wedding as her dad like’s to think of it.  I had the pleasure of being able to attend the rehearsal dinner, help out with some center pieces, and cruise around the sleepy little town her folks now live in, Emmaus.  It was such a refreshing experience to meet people like the gentlemen at the Bakery , Baked who insisted I finish my breakfast before I head to the ATM as it was a cash only cafe.  Who in California would serve you even a cup of coffee let alone a whole breakfast without paying first? That breakfast tasted ten times sweeter after that experience.  Mind you, a cinnamon roll was part of it. Yum.  Here are a few snapshots from around Emmaus to give you a flavor of the town.  Lots of lawns, lots of blossoms, lots of American flags, and lots of nice people.

Precious candid I got during the ceremony of her grandpa kissing his wife’s hand.  Her care taker duct behind her for the photo.

Jenai had custom signs made up for her different events and locations as their wedding was based on all their travels while long distance dating.

I love this picture since this pretty much sums up every couple on their wedding day.  Busy busy meeting and greeting all the guest.  Brian mastered an efficient technique after a few tables.
