Love this image from a Wedding earlier this year with the Wedding band Jelly Rolls Blues Band. It has so much drama to it and really brings back the excitement of the night. I captured this using off camera lighting that was directional and hard to really pull the viewer into the scene. I feel like I can just walk right into the image.
The Rudyard Lions Club invited Santa to the Rudyard Community Center for free images with Santa and Mrs. Claus with all the local kids. I was asked to come and capture images and I donated my time and instant prints for a little extra Holiday cheer. It was a fun night and I was glad to be part of the festive occasion with all the local families. There were about 100+ kids that took advantage of the free photography with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.
No babies were harmed in the making of these images.;-) Julia doesn’t cry much, and when she does she can usually be calmed down quickly which she was by her beautiful mom.
Been a long time since I sat on Santa's lap ~ had to do it
My wife had a biofeedback conference in Mill Valley at the Larkspur hotel just off of highway 101 North of San Francisco. Biofeedback is the process of becoming aware of various physiological functions using instruments that provide information on the activity of those same systems, with a goal of being able to manipulate them at will. Pretty interesting information.
While my wife studied I amused my daughter and did a lot of exploring the area. We spent a lot of time in the Marin Headlands, Golden Gate Rec Area, Point Reyes, Muir Woods, and the surrounding towns.
My favorite was the overlook locations near the Golden Gate Bridge.
The coast guard was doing some type of search and rescue with the glowing flare in the image above. The coast guard cutter and the helicopter were circling the smoking dot of the water. What a peaceful point to watch San Francisco. Just imagine the chaos going on during this rush hour period.
I spent some time in Sausalito, California along the coast. We did a fair amount of dining in the area during the week too. The food was all really good. Here are some images from my times in Sausalito.
I would love to live in a floating house like these! Have your boat attached to you deck. What a life.
Another location I visited was Muir Woods. Since I lived in Northern California for 3.5 years this was not as spectacular for me as a first timer, but it was really cool. Here are some images from my time with my daughter at Muir Woods.
My baby just loves her ride in the baby bjorn. What a view!
It rained for three of the days so I did a lot of car travel with my daughter. One of the locations we checked out was Point Reyes. Here are a few images from this beautiful location. It was dark and damp while I was there but I would love to spend a week or so at Point Reyes.
Check out these bucks. I loved the contrast on the skyline.
Point Bonito is another cool spot we checked out. The lighthouse was closed but we walked the trail to the entrance and snapped some pretty shots.
I hope your enjoy these few images. I captured a ton of images during our vacation. I would love to capture Weddings in this area of the World. If you have a Wedding please inquire about my Wedding Photography services. It is just so beautiful and the options are endless.
