Dashe Wine Garden

Here's a sneak-peek from "Sunday's in the Garden" shoot at Dashe Cellars here in Jack London Square. Amazing live music was performed by Radiokeys and the delicious wines were flowing. We're so lucky to have such a great winery right around the corner from us. (And I liked walking to work!) Take a look HERE at all the fun things they have planned for this summer!

Benefit Cosmetics at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay

To celebrate their success and their "benestars" (employees with the company for 10+ years), Benefit Cosmetics descended upon the fabulous Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay for a day party. And party they did - it was awesome!

Dovetail | A perfect fit

Once upon a time, there was an awesome catering company (actually the first exclusively organic catering company in the world) called Back to Earth.  You know the guys from Gather and Verbena?  Yep, that's them... Ari 'n Eric. A while back, they added a new chick to the mix, Kristen Stimpert. (That's where I come in... she's a great friend of mine.)  In light of the recent changes and growth they've had, they're reintroducing themselves (actually a fresher, newer, more fabulous version of themselves) as Dovetail. Sure to be the coolest design and catering company around... you're going to love them.

I took this fun environmental headshot of Chef Kevin Tanaka of Navio.  And they used it on the Ritz-Carlton website!  I'm thrilled to be a part of the Ritz family :-)

Sonoma Wine Country Weekend 2013

Sonoma County's largest and most fun charitable event celebrating one of America's favorite wine region!  The Sonoma Wine Country Weekend was so much fun and I was thrilled to be a part of it! 

Julie Atwood of Atwood Ranch hosted the opening event, and it was an amazing experience to get to be around some of these amazing wine makers! 

Sputnik Lamps | Atomic Illuminations

Master lamp artist, Carl Erickson, approached me to photograph his amazing sputnik lamps for his new website.  We decided that my own Eichler home was the perfect setting to showcase their stellar quality.  I am proud to say that this stunning piece still hangs in my dining room.
Thank you Carl!

Odette Estate Winery

Odette Estate, set on 45 acres of land tucked under the dramatic palisades of the Stags Leap District, follows along along Silverado Trail.  The newest Plumpjack property, it features the more feminine side of their wines.  This strong, feminine personality recalls the charisma of Odette, a woman who appears throughout history, literature and dance. The name “Odette” even shows up in the wine world, at the infamous Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, in which a red wine from Stags Leap District took top honors over the French.

I was honored to photograph a staff party here and had so much fun meeting the people and sampling the wines!!

Thomas John Events Food Photography

 Thomas John Events are an event and catering company in San Francisco that I've worked with many times over the years.  Years ago, they hosted an industry event and I happened to take a photo of their gorgeous food -- and it ended up being the photo they've used for their website for years!

So when Thomas John called me to come in and formally photograph the food for his new website, I jumped at the chance!  And the best part was, I got to eat it when we were done!  And wow, was it delicious.  If you get a chance to work with Thomas John Events, I say go for it!
