Headshots

I love taking photos of coworkers for the newsletter. Part of it is because I know them all pretty well and I love to capture their personalities in these photographs.

Models

I love love love when friends and coworkers are good sports about being models. I've even been a model for this little show on the Food Network called Unwrapped...yes, that was me who said "Tastes just like Merlot!" on the episode where they talk about how alcohol-removed wine is made. I don't want to talk about it anymore. (Really? "tastes just like merlot"??? Wow. My days on TV are definitely numbered.) I'm also in the new Burger Parties cookbook looking as happy as a clam on a bright summer day. Fun stuff!

When I did the shoot for the Three Thieves online store, my coworkers were troopers. They allowed me to move, brush, twist, turn, shake, prop and style them like they were mannequins. I appreciate it greatly!

My friends are also good sports and have let me shoot them numerous times just for fun. I like that they will let me dictate how they should sit for the best shot, and I think they like that they get fun shots for free! I plan to do a lot more of these shoots soon (so if there are any friends reading this...watch out :)).

365 Days of Photos - Photo 54

Oldie but goodie...this photo has always struck a chord with me. When I shoot fine art, I shoot what I see...this was near the Milk Farm sign among other discarded items.

365 Days of Photos - Photo 53

Healdsburg, CA
Canon 5D Mark II
Every year for the Wine Road Barrel Weekend, I help out my favorite winery, Holdredge. John & Carri Holdredge are awesome people and have welcomed me with open arms to chat people up and pour them wine out of the barrel. I enjoy doing it every year and look forward to the next time! In the meantime, I'll be heading up for a wine tasting weekend in Healdsburg just to visit! They make fantastic Pinots (understatement!)....mmmmmmm.......

365 Days of Photos - Photo 52

Avila Beach, San Luis Obispo, CA

Not only am I slacking on going to the gym, I'm also slacking here! Nevertheless, here is photo 52. I didn't find that sea glass on the beach...I threw it there. Still makes for a cool shot, huh?

365 Days of Photos - Photo 51

Napa, CA

As you can see, I'm WAY behind on my 365 project. I've been in quite the slump lately and haven't shot very much. It's time to snap out of that! Jason's silly side helped...
