It has been really beautiful this past week (when it’s not totally storming!!) and we’ve been able to take two great long walks a day with pup. I always take photos with my iPhone and always wish that I had my real camera to document our walks. So here’s one of them!

Afternoon walk with the pup
A Day at the Beach……
Glenn & I FINALLY had a weekend where he didn’t have to work and we had time to do some fun stuff… Here are just a few from our day at the beach in Point Reyes. I never knew how difficult it was to find a dog friendly beach until now!

The Road Less Traveled…. Another Shot From the Vault
I was just looking through some old images and came accross this one from Ireland about two and half years ago. I put some spooky/antique touches on it and I think it looks a little creepy… but kind of cool.
My Beautiful Sophie!
My poor cats are always being chased around me with huge camera in tow….but the results are pretty cute, I must say!

Christmas Pets!
Julius was posing as a Christmas present for my parents and Shannon and Jason welcomed Socrates and Bella into their home this Holiday Season!

Christmas in Ireland
So we finally made it back to The Emerald Isle to see Glenn’s family after two and a half years of living here together. It was so great to see everyone and spend Christmas in a properly cold winter climate! I have to admit that it was a bit of a challenge to be driving on the left side of the road again. Also, the challenge went to the next level as we slid around on icy roads. We got around even if it meant driving 20 mph! We pretty much went from meal to meal, that was the main focus of the trip aside from visiting with family. We even got a bit of shopping and visiting with friends while we were there. It is really hard to have family living so far away, but it’s so great when we get to spend time together…
Aaahhh, Little Alex….

Sacramento Portrait Photography | Shannon & Jason!
Photographing dear friends is always an honor and it was so much fun with Shannon and Jason! They are such a wonderful couple and I think their love for one another and how much fun they have together shines through here!

I think I busted Barrett for making an awkward face here, apparently with hilarious results…




Bay Area Engagement Photography | tarika & barrett – a romantic portrait.
My wonderful, beautiful and talented long time friend Tarika is engaged to the wonderful, handsome and funny Barrett. Their Palm Springs wedding isn’t scheduled until next October, so they can have a nice, relaxed engagement. I am personally looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend in Palm Springs! These two are some of the most genuine and warm hearted people that I am blessed to have in my life and I am so incredibly happy for them. I was truly privileged to photograph such a beautiful pair!
