This one was a lot of fun to be sure!  The event celebrated wines from many different places and brought together people from near and far.  Arista Winery in Healdsburg is a fantastic location.

So I’ve been absolutley blessed with the honor of working with the McWilliams family at Arista Winery.  They have put together a team of vendors to provide a full service venue from food and music to decor, transportation and of course photography!  The people they have pulled together are truly wonderful and I look forward to this venture with them!  We had an event last week to bring together other vendors and event planners to see this beautiful new venue and it was a great success.  The venue is just amazing with so many options and breathtaking views everywhere you look.  So cheers to Arista!! A fun time was had by all. Enjoy a few shots of the night, I have tons more if you are interested in the venue so please feel free to contact me.

I had the total honor last week of photographing the San Jose Ballet that was featuring a performance with Loop!Station a really great local band.  I first met them and photographed them probably a couple of years ago now (you can find their music on my website actually!) and they were amazing.  It was a whirlwind of different  performances that apparently the dancers actually designed themselves.  It was so hard to narrow down the hundreds of photos but I am including some of my most fave!!

This was a fun shoot! It was early morning Sunday and I had great models. David does amazing things with wood and is starting his own business and these photos were for his new web site. His associate Chunk was just the best model ever! Quite energetic about eating wood but lazy when it came to working which was perfect for me! If you get a chance the site should be up in a couple of weeks at www.heirloomwoodworks.com.
