Hidden Treasures

I have become somewhat obsessed with old barns, doors and mid-western architecture. I was searching through my terabyte hard drive for textures for photos.

I found photos that I did almost exactly 2 years ago at an old mill in northern California. You can imagine my excitement when I saw this picture.




I had completely forgotten about this day. My dad and I went to the mill as a special shooting day. I like photographing old buildings and my dad loves road trips and learning the history of places. It was a great day with beautiful weather and I am glad I found this hidden treasure to remind me of that day.

Pinot & Photos



I had the privilege of being on the Sonoma Coast photographing some of the most beautiful landscapes in California.

I have also had the privilege of being a part of some great wineries and personally witnessing the art that is wine making.

This past week I have been working with LaRue Wines and the wine maker behind it all, Katy Wilson. We had an awesome photo shoot on Thursday which will be able to be seen on LaRue's website soon!

LaRue Wines is releasing their Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir in May! With Katy's expertise, great palate, and passion I think the wine is going to be really great.
