When it occured to me it would be a good idea for me to be a wedding photographer I ran my business plan by my lovely friend Molly. She thought it was a good idea too and asked her brother Jimmy if I could help shoot his wedding in Tahoe. Their main photographer Kurt Andersen was so generous and kind to allow me to photograph with him.  It didn’t have to be and he was.

It’s been an honor and a priveledge to be included in Jimmy and Elena’s family and their process as a family ever since.

I photographed my friend Trish last night. She is due any moment. It rained all day, cold and windy. I tried to cancel and then she let me know how close she really was.  So I opened myself up to the will of the Universe. They came over we walked out into a very wet and rainy meadow. My front yard. As I was setting my flash the sky opened up and gave us this. And once again I am humbled. Looking at her gorgeous belly and the sky  I reminded I am not the Boss. The Boss has way more imagination, creativity and beauty than my little limited mind can come up with. I am only an observer and documentor. Man, God is so Good!
