We went to Austin to visit with my sister and to see the eclipse. The weather forecast was very bad, so we decided to take an earlier flight out to avoid delays. We were fortunate to have just enough time to watch the eclipse from the airport before checking in for our flight. Totality was brief there, less than a minute, and covered by clouds. Still was amazing. We got to see the sun and moon emerge just as totality was ending. We didn't get to see the corona really, but we did get a tiny bit of solar flare in a few photos. I'm not mad at my eclipse experience.

It's been a very long time since I've shared any shoots here. But today seemed like a good day to get started again.

It's been a really long time since I've shared any shoots. Part of that was mood, part was time, and part was honestly just worry over how people would perceive COVID-era photo shoots. But, things are getting better, and today seemed like a good day to start again. It's a special pleasure to photogr...

Hello friends - I've been quiet around here, but I have been taking limited appointments for photo sessions. I'm thinking of offering three November mini session dates: Elk Grove on 11/1, East Bay Area on 11/8, and Sacramento on 11/15. If you are interested, send me a message and I'll solidify times/location soon.

And here's a photo of one of our socially-distant summer adventures.

Sending love to all of my friends out there. Since outdoor exercise is still ok, I wanted to share a few local hikes for my Elk Grove/Sacramento people. Exercise + sunshine is vital to keeping us going in these uncertain times, and under current restrictions, is considered an essential activity. Keep in mind that bathrooms at all public facilities are closed, so this isn't really a great time for a road trip. Plus the National Park System is really begging us not to go to those places - people are crowding those areas due to waived fees. These hikes/walks are all within an hour or so of Elk Grove, and we had no problem maintaining safe distance form people, if we even came across any other people along the way.

Also side note - please be kind to yourselves, parents who are now acting as teachers. You've probably already realized that with the 1:1 attention your kids are getting, they only need 2 hours to do what requires 6 hours in the classroom.

Ok, so some nice places that are NOT CROWDED:

Laguna Creek Trail (my favorite places to start are behind Cal Fit & and at Camden Park, or start at Del Meyer Park and end at Jack Hill Park
Elk Grove Creek Trail (Start behind Letherby's, or Taco Bell on EG Blvd., or near Walmart and walk over the freeway
Consumes River Preserve (20 mins form EG)
Stone Lakes Preserve: (10-15 mins from EG)
Browns Valley: pictured - beware trails can be muddy! (Vacaville)
Rockeville Hills Regional Park (Fairfield)
Black Diamond Mines (Antioch)
Putah Creek Reserve (Davis)
Bobelaine Audubon Sanctuary (Yuba City)
River Bend Park
William B Pond Clay Banks
Vic Fazio Yolo Preserve
Black Hole of Calcutta Falls (Auburn)
Jensen Botanical Garden
Lodi Nature Trail
Paradise Beach
Beeks Bight (Folsom)
Mather Vernal Pools
Lynch Canyon Open Space (Fairfield)
Vernal Pools at Rancho Seco Park

If you know of any other good spots I'd love to hear about them!

Finally starting to feel like fall...

After a long summer, I was beginning to think it might never happen, but it looks like fall is finally on its way. And just in time for the family photo sessions to begin in earnest.
