Engagement Shoot! Rob & Jen at Viansa

Congratulations to Rob and Jen!  This is their engagement photo shoot that took place several months before the ceremony.  As of now they are happily newly weds!   This post has been past due but I am still as excited to share the images we captured as if the photo shoot took place this last weekend!  I loved checking out the Viansa winery, since it was the first time I have been there.   Rob & Jen and Teddy, their adorable baby doggie, were so excited to be there and it shows in these fun and romantic pics!

An Engagement Session – Rob & Jen

This portrait session took place last year at the beautiful Viansa Winery in Sonoma.  This was also the spot where the wedding took place.  They brought their doggie a cute little Yorkie Terrier.  It was a lot of fun and I always get a big rush when shooting at a new location.  We walked around the venue and just stopped at spots that inspired us.  I am still working on completing the images but I thought I publish a teaser since I found one while editing that I love.  More to come….

 

Dino’s – 11 Years of Being My Baby Boy Coton Doggie – Pet Portrait

It’s always late, I know, but Dino turned 11 years old on January 1st!  I got Dino from a Coton de Tulear breeder in Oregon.  He came by plane in a crate at 8 weeks old.  Upon picking him up from SFO, I noticed a small crate in front of the tall reception/pickup desk.  I thought to myself that it could not be my new puppies’ crate as the receptionist behind the tall desk could not see the crate and therefore would not know if it suddenly disappeared.  Then I saw this very small light beige cotton ball of a puppy,  in the small crate, standing on his hinds, paws up panting like saying ‘here I am, here I am!’  That started my love for my new puppy and also proved that his name Dino (for Dino Flinstone) was appropriate.  Here’s my boy’s doggie portrait at Lands End SF.

 

Merry Christmas 2012!

It’s been awhile since I posted.  I have been back to full time IT work and doing photography, mostly portraits, on the side.  I also love to shoot a lot of casual candids or stills and use Instagram for quick filtering to publish on Facebook.  It’s a lot of fun and there are actually some interesting work on Instagram.  So that is my plug to use it for fun photography.  Hope your Christmas was a good one!  And now ready for the New Year.
