Professionally glamorous

I had the fabulous opportunity to work with a hairstylist/make-up artist to create the best image possible for a recently widowed woman who wanted some glamorous photos of herself. Below is a "before" and some "after" shots.

Spring Vacation

Being a part-time accountant as well as a photographer means one thing, a "post April 15" vacation is required. This year my hubby & I did a road trip up the coast from SF to Portland. Here's a few of my pics from that trip.

Springing up flowers!

With all this tremendous rain, our county wildflowers are blooming the best ever in many years and I have been in pursuit of great shots of these darlings. From Santa Maria to Shandon, I have been stopping along the road to capture the colors and splendor of God's little signs of spring.

Sometimes the best pics aren't even out inthe country, but in your own neighborhood.

Carrizo Plains and Soda Lake

I have lived in SLO County for 20 years now and yesterday was the first time I have ever been to Carrizo Plains. It was quite a drive and I wish I could have stayed longer because there was so much to see.

Did you know Soda Lake looks like baking soda and it's a pretty large, flat lake?

Spring is definitely the time to see new sites with everythiing in best form.
