Emily + Jason

Ralston Retreat is a pretty spectacular place for a wedding. Winding drive up through a redwood grove not far from the center of Mill Valley, Ca. But what made this particular day even more amazing wasn't just the scenery but the couple that brought all of their friends and family together. Emily and Jason are a one of a kind couple. Really sweet and thoughtful and just good people. I wish you both the best and hope to hear from you again in the future. Molly say's hi as well!

Vanessa and Chuck - Marin

I loved spending the day with you and all your family and friends. To date, I don't quite think I have seen a house transformed so beautifully for a wedding, ever. You are both amazing and I look forward to seeing you again very soon!

Rudy and Vivan - NYC

Rudy and Vivan, you are special people. And even after 20 hours of travel time, even after my camera bag was run over by a taxi on my way back from Naples, my tripod left in a cab, I still had the most rewarding and fantastic time at your wedding, jet lagged and all. i love you guys! What an amazing wedding and celebration. Can't wait to catch up and laugh again. cheers.

Jehan + Shane

Pretty fantastic day, right? I must admit that, clearly, I was VERY excited for your wedding weekend! I know, I know.... it was rough taking in all the views of Taormino but we managed it and the memory of that hillside town will always be pretty sweet and special to me (and I'm sure everyone else). I, hereby, vote for a 25 year reunion, same place and same awesome people. Well... lets include those few that couldn't make it, right. And you know who you are! I love you guys and I will definitely be seeing you in the city!

Annabelle + Chris

All i can say is WOW! Molly and I had a great time with Annabelle and Chris. Everything was so well thought out and the venue *which was her grandmother's house* was perfect for the occasion. Ceremony in a long grassy field, cocktails by the pool and dinner under the trees. yea - fantastic evening. I wish i was part of the crew that plunged in the pool, fully clothed, at midnight. Thanks guys. hope to see you soon!

Spencer +Emily

Great couple, amazing friends and family, fabulous food and stunning views. There's not much more to say, other than this couple was so loving and caring *with awesome family to boot* that this wedding would've been as lovely if it were held in an alley way. I really enjoyed working with you guys. Thanks for being so excited about the photo-taking. As a result, you added a bit of style of your own to the images. I honestly hope to see you guys again soon. xoxoxoxo -traci.

may 2010} spring semester is over!

My parents came out two days after my last final in school. The weather here in Portland, I can happily say, cooperated and we definitely took advantage of that. Lots of great dinners, trip to the coast, picnic in the Rose gardens and Sauvie Island. good times had by all.

The Ayers Creek Farm

Anthony and Carol Boutard are awesome folks. They are passionate about the food they grow and eager to share it with others. I left that day with my backseat full of fresh produce. Thanks for the fun shoot.

You know those epic days in San Francisco, the ones that seem to happen so rarely in the spring, ...well on April 9th we were lucky to have such an awesome day. Golden Gate Park was naturally crowded with people soaking up the sun. Nicole and Jeremy brought a sweet tandem bike and we literally just road it all over the park, ducking into shady spots here and there. You can check out their webshow here.

The Kring Camp

Thanks for this fun weekend guys! Can't wait to see you again and meet little Lilah.

Enjoy!

xmas 09 - pullman, washington

Just a few shots from the holidays this year. Must say, photos of babies in bath = cute. Little Kai in bath = irresistible. And everybody sing... "check out his lumps...his lovely baby bumps". What a muse.

BTW - love the leopard Snuggi as a prop for portraits. it's like the Sears catalog up in here.
