A Gypsy Encounter

We recently had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with one of our equine clients....a beautiful Gypsy Vanner stallion working Haute Ecole with trainer Dianne Olds Rossi and assistant Bud Long. Shot entirely with natural light...the beauty of this breed is subtle yet striking. We look forward to following his training, and bringing new images, and a future video of this gorgeous stallion.

The Kittens Found a Forever Home

Recently, we posted a plea to help these adorable little boys a home. We finally placed them with a wonderful foster mom who works with an El Dorado Hills no-kill rescue, http://www.animaloutreachcats.com/. We just heard from the foster mom, that these adorable kittens found their 'forever home' with a wonderful family in the same area. We are very happy to have helped these little souls find their family. And a big thanks to Lorie Howard.

We are proud to announce the addition of Studio Dance Portraits with Da Vinci Pictures. Call us for your next private portrait session or studio photo day.

Palace Art

We had an amazing time photographing the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco recently, and wanted to share some of our images. Absolutely breathtaking architecture. Travel with us to San Francisco for your unique, once-in-a-lifetime portrait session in this magical, awe-inspiring location.

Barkley!

Barkley was an absolute joy to photograph...when he was sitting still! LOL He has wonderful energy, and so much expression. We truly enjoyed our photo shoot with Beverly, Verne and their beloved companion. Here are just a couple of images from our shoot yesterday. On a sad note...Barkley was recently diagnosed with cancer, and won't be with us much longer. The owners chose to honor their beloved pet through us, and we are proud to have been asked to capture these memories.

The Sweetest Lab

This is Harley. He is the sweetest lab mix in the world! He is one of our pet clients, and we recently did an impromtu photo session in the backyard. Normally, Harley has his ears down, gazing at you with slanted eyes, and a very serene expression. It took some doing, but we got him to put his ears up in the classic lab look....but we think he looks like the old RCA dog.
