A trip to the playground..
Our annual trip to Arizona to visit David’s family often finds us taking a trip to the playground with the kids to burn off all that sugar-induced energy. The ‘kids’ are also rapidly becoming teenagers, it’s so very cool to see them turn into interesting young adults. This trip I was testing out my holiday gift to myself – the Canon 35mm 1.4 lens. This lens is absolutely fantastic. Super sharp, great color fidelity, and is rapidly becoming one of my new favorites.

Golden Hour
Preview of a recent shoot.
Salton Sea
Mono Lake At Dawn
Going through my old archives, I found this great shot to act as a bookend to the Joshua Tree sunset. This was shot at dawn out at Mono Lake, in 2007. It was a freezing November day, but well worth getting up at five am to see this.

Pretty well done. I like anything which reminds people that the images they see online and in magazines are far, far from reality.
A Perfect Sunset
Wrapping up the year, two days after it ended. That’s what happens when you have a commitment ceremony on the 21st, drive to Arizona with your partner’s mother, spend a few days with family, then take a couple more days driving home. You fall a little blissfully behind. We stopped at the Salton Sea on the way back and camped overnight, it was cold, smelled like dead fish, and we were woken by the howling of Coyotes around dawn. It was perfect.
Joshua Tree is our traditional stop on the road home. We shot photos at sunset, made a quick dinner, then hit the road for the insanely long drive back to San Francisco.
This year was a good one. I photographed some incredible weddings, worked with great new clients, and even traveled a bit. I hope you all had a fantastic year, and am looking forward to seeing what 2012 will bring.
New Years Eve Photobooth!
Out with the old and in with the new! I had a blast last night running a photo booth at the return of the In Bed With Fairy Butch cabaret show at the Blue Macaw nightclub in San Francisco. It was the perfect way to finish up what’s been a very cool year for me. I’ve had some good trips, continued to work with some amazing clients, and am very excited for what’s coming up in 2012!
If I photographed you last night, click any of the images below for the full gallery of your shots, you can download or order prints through the gallery on on Facebook – just find your photos, go to the ‘purchase’ tab, and select ‘download’. Happy New Year Everyone!

A Winter Solstice Commitment Ceremony…
My partner and I hosted our close family to witness our commitment ceremony yesterday.
I feel so very lucky to get to spend my life with this adorable guy.
Tons of photos were taken by a good friend, the ring shots are by me. It was a lot of fun to photograph the details of my own wedding!
