I think this is a good one to start the week and remind you all that Christmas is just around the corner!

This weekend I photographed the adorable Riley kids. We had a lot of fun and got some great photos. Their mother may have thought it was all chaos 😉 but there was no kicking and screaming so what more could you ask for!?
Here are some of my favorites…
Love this next one..
and this one…
trying to get all three of them to to look at me was clearly a challenge!
This next one has Crewcuts written all over it…
We were getting a little restless in this next one, as you can probably tell….
and I had to throw this one in….I love how natural it is.
The Riley Family – Photos taken November 21, 2009
One of my favorite parts of my trip to San Fran was visiting Napa! The weather combined with the gorgeous scenery can’t be beat. Visiting Napa only makes you want to visit Sonoma, which we didn’t have time to do, but there’s always next time 🙂
I definitely recommend stopping by the smaller, family-run wineries in the area as they tend to be less crowded, less expensive, and more personable.

The next few photos were taken at the St. Helena Olive Oil Co where you can browse a huge selection of infused olive oils. They also sell handmade soap, homemade sauces, dips, etc.
This is an antique chair for sale in the store and I just thought the colors and the rust make for an interesting image.
For whatever reason, everywhere I go I seem to come across tiny tractors…. so for that reason alone I had to take a picture.
I love this next one. We were driving by a winery that had this great bright red antique truck parked in the front. I couldn’t keep going without a picture of it.
Check out the reflection in the door!
Napa Valley – Photos taken October 24th, 2009
I am back from a great, “on the go” six days in San Francisco. It was only the end of the first day and we felt like we had seen everything there is to be seen; roaming through neighborhood after neighborhood making frequent stops at tiny cafes, gift shops, and candy stores. With my camera in tow the whole trip, I was able to document yet another great city, San Francisco!
After quickly browsing through what seems like a trillion pictures, I have decided there’s just wayyy too many I’d like to share in a single blog post. So let me begin here with some of my favorite Golden Gate Bridge shots.
STILL TO COME: Napa Valley, the people of SF, the architecture, food, details and more!!
Sunrise…
Although, this next one is not of the bridge, I just love it! Check out the fog in the distance…
With pictures of the Golden Gate bridge at sunrise already, I was determined to be back there before sunset on our last night. After taking the bus (over an hour) in the wrong direction I was in a panic, especially since the sun was already setting. Luckily it only took one hour 😉 for us to get off the wrong bus and jump on the correct one and just in the “nick of time”, I was not only at the bridge, but I was standing on it. Although, the sun had already set I was able to get some nice photos and the colors were incredible, especially with the fog rolling in.
