Seaside, Oregon

I took a drive to Seaside this past Saturday and had a lot of fun taking photos of the leaves and the sunset on the ocean. A cute couple on the beach, who were vacationing for their wedding anniversary, asked if I would take their picture. Because I can't resist and had two willing participants, it turned into a mini photo session where I had them pose for some great shots. The sun was setting behind them and it was perfect! It was so much fun. I think they had fun too! I wish I had taken the photos with my camera so I could see them :) Happy Anniversary to the couple on the beach from Idaho!

Chicago

I fell in love with Chicago! I spent five days there and had a great time shooting the city. I'm anxious to go back because there was so much that I missed. Here are just a few of the photos I took. It was hard to decide which ones to put on my blog. I hope you enjoy them.

Old Town Sacramento

I spent a couple of hours in Old Town Sacramento today which is situated along the Sacramento River. It was a beautiful day and the old buildings were very interesting to photograph. Here are a few of my shots from the day.

I couldn't resist this shot. What first caught my attention was the amount of spokes on this wheel (the entire bike was made out of chrome which also made it hard not to notice) and as I got closer, I noticed the skull on the valve stem.

The Tower Bridge

Eugene Wedding

Angela hired me to assist her with a wedding in Eugene yesterday. The bride and groom were wonderful and they had a beautiful wedding. Here are some of my shots from the day.

The Bride's Shoes

The Bride and Grooms dog, Winchester

The flower girl

The bride and groom are going to LA/Disneyland for their honeymoon. The bride surprised the groom with tickets to a Mariners/Angels game and had these hats made with "Just Married" embroidered on the side. She's an Angels fan and he's a Mariners fan. Brilliant!

Puget Sound

I spent the Labor Day Weekend with some friends in Puget Sound. It was my first opportunity to use my new Canon 40D. Here are some of the shots I took in the area.

Echo Lake

I took a hike with my family along the trail around Echo Lake. It is a beautiful and peaceful place. I'm hoping to make it back here in the Fall. Here are a few pictures from our day there.

Photography Class Field Trip

My current photography class took a field trip to Folsom. With us all shooting in the same location, I was certain that many of the shots would be similar. When we showed our work in class, it was interesting to see that everyone's shots were from completely different perspectives. Here are some of the shots I turned in.
