I love vineyards.  There is something so intriguing about the vines.  Rows & rows of vines.  Thinking about the grapes that they grow and the wine those grapes will produce.   And in the winter they were incredible.  Bare.  Such nice symmetrical rows where each piece is a knotty mess. 

Before we even arrived, I knew I wanted to shoot in the vineyard.  And I was thrilled that all of the ladies (and maybe even the men, but maybe not really) wanted to shoot a bit.  So, we arrived home on Saturday from a day of wine tasting, a super quick wardrobe change and the fastest 40 minutes of shooting I’ve ever done.  We were racing the fading sun and there was so much I wanted to capture.  It was 40 minutes of pure ridiculousness, laughter & fun fueled by amazing people, a fabulous location, a little bit of rain & quite a bit of wine.

Jess, Josh, Paola, Eric, Natalie & Greg – You are all rockstars and I couldn’t be more blessed to have the six of you in my life.   You inspire me.  You make me laugh.  You’ve given me a home.  Thank you for being some of the best friends a girl could ask for!

Jessica & Josh were one of the very first couples to ever book me.  I didn’t even have a sample album when we met!   I thought they HATED me and nearly fell over when she called to set the date. They booked me for me and I am eternally grateful. 

I met Natalie in 2006.  Online.  Our first date in 2007 was magical.  If Chris ever leaves me, it will most definitely be for Greg.  

Paola is an absolute inspiration for me.  In business.  In the gym.  In the kitchen.  If it weren’t for her, I would be broke, fat & malnourished.
