I have a secret dream to be a National Geographic photographer/film maker and travel the world. So, when two of my good friends asked me to go to the famous San Diego Zoo- I was ready with my camera in hand. Although seeing these amazing creatures in cages makes me sad, it’s great what the people at the San Diego Zoo do for these animals to have great lives. Also, the plant life is incredible at this zoo. My friends were making fun of me for nerding out at the prehistoric foliage when there were so many endangered animals so close. Oh well=)

I didn’t really know if this camera worked…so getting these images back was pretty magical.
The photo above is of my sweet kitty Luke who passed away recently…see a few more images of him here.
The photo below is a double exposure from Nina+Scott’s wedding in San Luis Obispo… 
I had to very suddenly say goodbye to one of my kitties this past weekend. Luke was such a big love, and the house feels empty without him. Here are a couple of images of my sweet boy.

Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…

I will have lots of new photos for you in January! Enjoy the last few days of the year!
I actually took some photos for myself on this last trip to San Luis…enjoy!
I have been trying to take more photos for myself while in the process of reinventing the way I look at things around me. Here are some shots from a trip to the swap meet to drool over old lenses and cameras. Happy Tuesday!

I took this with my Grandma Lee while out for an afternoon walk. How beautiful is Rochester in the Summer?!
Hey Friends!
So some of you know already that Nick and I decided to end our relationship a while ago…and I had so many sweet emails from clients and friends asking if we were alright that I didn’t get to respond to. I just wanted to say that we are both so happy, and truly have not felt more hopeful and focused. Nick and I were good as a couple, really good as friends, but really really ridiculously great as business and shooting partners, so we decided to take the best parts and keep them in good working order. We have had a pretty sweet deal worked out for a while with Nick in charge of {some of his many} brilliant areas, and me in charge of the rest- just the way this Libra likes it!! Since he has a day job as a web guru and this IS my day job, it seems to balance well. I am totally overwhelmed by the good things that has been coming up the past few months, so thanks to good thought thinkers and the universe for that. Sorry for the long rant and the venting…now here are some photos from a Seattle trip that we went on a while back that I have been saving for this very post.
We stayed at The Ace Hotel…there are no words to describe the charm of that place- not to mention the amazing coffee!

I will be shooting Lindsey and Jacob’s lovely wedding in San Luis Obispo {technically, Arroyo Grande} this weekend. Since Nick will be staying in San Diego to document another last minute wedding, I have the great luck that the amazing Kameron Ahler is available and coming to help me shoot! He has such a great eye, and I can not wait to see what he ends up with. Here are some of Kam’s awesome photos that he took for our website=)
I love the blue sky and dreamy greens of Rochester in the Summer.
My friend Matt, who is an amazing New York photographer=)
