Dan & Michelle's Engagement Session!

Canon 5D Mark II
24-105mm
I've known Dan since I was 19....so like 2 years now? Ha. Just kidding. I'm thrilled to see him so happy with Michelle - and she's so awesome! Match made in heaven, those two. We had a great day of shooting around the Valley, with all of the fall colors and amazing clouds.

Here's a sneak peek into today's session...

Lucas Pools will feature pools they have done around Napa Valley. Pool 1 is below...my favorite photo is the first one...

It was a chilly May day, and we ended up walking the entire Bulb, not quite knowing where everything was. Here's an interesting read on The Bulb... Sidenote: What is my fascination with landfills?
