Jarrod & Darcie Got Married!

October 26, 2009 – 10:39 pm

And I got to capture it! A little inside info - Darcie is probably one of my oldest friends. I once made her and our friend Heather dress up Guess style and spend a day with me modeling like rockstars. I think that was the beginning of her being one of my favorite muses. When I worked as a photo assistant at a studio in Tahoe, and being that she lived there at the time, I used to crash at her place and to take every opportunity to dress her up and put her in front of the camera. It’s an era that hasn’t ended but has been cluttered with adult responsiblities and children and busy life and time less spent.

So, when she told me she was getting married and wanted me to photograph it (actually, she was really sweet - she asked me but then told me that if I wanted to be a guest instead, that was okay too) I was stoked. Yeah, I just said stoked. Pulling from the 90s. My era. What can I say. Ol school!

Anyway, I love Darcie and though Jarrod and I barely got to say hello amongst pictures and family and a gorgeous day of laughter and love, I already know I love him too. Because Darcie does. Because they are adorable together. Because he and Darcie mesh harmoniously - his strong, yet subtle presence to her fire and wit. Total beautiful mesh.

Here are some favs pulled for a stunning day that felt atop the world…

(thanks for picking me Darcie and Jarrod! :))

Sacramento Kings, Media Day, 2009

October 19, 2009 – 7:48 pm

Wow, have I been the worst blogger ever! I have good reasons though - some personal, some professional and without going into all of it, I’ll just say - good things are in store for all of us. I truly believe that. I know so many people who have struggled through this last year for a myriad of reasons but I believe we’re all headed for goodness. 2010 is going to be an AWESOME year! I’m looking forward to it!

In good news, the studio is almost up and running. We’ve had a few setbacks timewise for different reasons but we’re coming up on the conclusion and it’s looking good! I’ve also had an opportunity to meet some of my neighbors and I’m loving my new “neighborhood.” I think I ended up exactly where I’m supposed to be!

Okay - fun stuff - a few weeks ago I was at Kings Media Day to capture some images for their Gametime covers. This year was especially fun - I had met up with their creative team (the fabulous Heather Vaughan, Casey Catlett and Dhon Santos) a few weeks prior and we discussed different ideas for a set based on their marketing this year. There were a few bumps on location but the end result was awesome. And the weather played along, so we didn’t have to cook any players in the process of making these images. (when I first saw the semi we were running those 90+ days and standing in the back it was pure sweltering heat…I was a little nervous on the comfort-level of doing pictures in that heat but it all worked out - well, heck, of course it did! It was the KINGS after all!!) here are some favs…

ps - this rockin art set was put together by Casey and Dhon! huge kudos!

kevin cracks me up - so much personality, love that he sets it lose on the set

this one reminds me of a rollercoaster - a little funky, but the angle appealed to me for some reason

this was just taken during setup but Desmond’s smile is so gorgeous and natural here - I love this one

and no shoot would be complete without the crew! I work with some seriously fun people - these photos always make my favs list…

Kate has the coolest tatoos!

the fab Heather Vaughan…

and Dhon Santos…

and Casey (cool) Catlett…

Lacey & Ben Wedding, Napa, September 26, 2009

October 7, 2009 – 10:10 am

When Lacey’s mom Robin called me a year and half ago to ask if I’d photograph her daughter’s wedding, I said yes. I wasn’t officially offering weddings and I had no prices or information but, having met Robin and her family when they did the exceptional favor of driving their purple classic car from Napa in the early am hours for a Sacramento Kings’ Crew shoot, I knew it’d be amazing. While shivering in our cars, glued to the heaters at 9am on Saturday morning awaiting the King’s Crew in a back alley in downtown Sacramento, I got to know the Price family a bit. In that brief time, I learned they are a family closely tied and brimming with humor. So when she called and asked me to photograph the wedding, I was estatic. I kind of felt like the girl in the class who got a star and wasn’t sure why, but was seriously happy about it. I hope I played it much cooler than I felt!

And then, last spring, I met Lacey and Ben in Sonoma for their engagement session and fell a little bit in love - with them, their love for each other and that beautiful humor that seems to overflow in this family. It was no surprise then that their wedding would be just as beautiful. And emotional. And brimming with love and humor.

Thank you Lacey and Ben (and Robin and John - hey John, it’s so nice to meet you! LOL does “i had a lot on my mind that day?” pass for an excuse…I promise I wasn’t dipping into the cocktails while on duty! :)) for allowing me the privilege of photographing your wedding day!

What follows are my personal favs from the day…

one of the flower girls was sitting by the window and I couldn’t resist this expression!

John was about to give Lacey away and I captured this using the full measure of window light streaming in above and beside her…something about this just feels wispy and beautiful to me…

after the ceremony I saw Lacey put her bouquet in her boots which she was taking to the reception to wear and I knew I had to snag that picture so I had her recreate it at the reception…
